O’SHEA & Friends
2023-04-28 20:00 | The Franklin Theatre, 419 Main Street, Franklin, 37064, United States
The multi-award winning husband and wife duo O’Shea are one of Australia’s most exciting musical exports. Based in Franklin for the last 8 years, O’Shea have graced some of the world’s most famed stages, from the Grand Ole Opry to the Sydney Opera House, to the World Expo in Dubai since beginning their musical journey together. They also opened up for Tim McGraw in 2022. With 5 records released on Sony Music, they are currently writing for their 6th studio album.

Recipients of 7 CMAA Awards (The Australian equivalent of CMAs), 11 no.1’s on Australian country music charts and a no.1 pop hit in Europe, O’SHEA were recently featured in CMTs Artist Discovery program. They are the Australian ambassadors for The Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, Heart kids and co-chair Family Voices of Tennessee.
The duo are bringing together a who’s who of special guests for a special night to remember with all proceeds from the show benefiting the musical program of Franklin Elementary School.
Franklin Elementary is located near the heart of downtown Franklin and has been an integral part of the Franklin community since 1906. The staff embraces children of every culture and background believing this diversity gives the students a global perspective allowing them to recognize and appreciate differences, but in the same respect, understand there are many similarities in all cultures.
Because 30% of the students at Franklin Elementary School come from impoverished homes, the school must rely on the support of the Franklin community to provide excellence in the fine arts programs. The staff of FES focus on educating the whole child and believe instruction in music and art to be key components in improving learning throughout all academic areas. Experiences in the arts also provide children with non-academic benefits such as promotion of self-esteem, motivation, cultural exposure and appreciation of diversity.
Join O’Shea and Friends for a fantastic night of entertainment and help raise money for the art and music programs at Franklin Elementary School.

Originally from Hanston, Kansas (population: 200), Chris Housman immersed himself in music at the age of seven when he taught himself to sing and play the fiddle, which quickly led to regular performances in a family band at Wild West shows. After a move to Nashville to attend Belmont University, Housman added piano, guitar, upright bass, and even spoons to his list of talents while playing at over 150 colleges across the country.
In 2019, his unique talent for whistling earned him a spot as one of the Top 5 musical whistlers in the world, and he has found a way to merge all of his influences, experiences, and talents into a sound uniquely his own. Chris will soon be following up his last release, mega-viral and iTunes #1 song, “Blueneck”, with his debut EP – which will include the viral songs, “Nobody” and “The Bible Belt” that have already generated over 4.5M views on TikTok.
Tickets to the 5th Annual Songwriter’s Night are $150 and available here:

Button Ball will feature fun and meaning – all while raising money to provide services to children and their families struggling with sexual and significant physical abuse, or some other form of trauma. Davis House promises an experience you’ll talk about long after the evening is over.
The name Button Ball derives from the story of our “Button Jar.” After their forensic interview, each child chooses a unique button that represents them and places it in the jar, which holds the thousands of buttons of children we have served in the past. The jar is inscribed with “You Are Not Alone”—a message we think is crucial for their healing journey. Your participation at Button Ball directly impacts the lives of those thousands of children. This year’s theme will be The Roaring Twenties, so think “The Great Gatsby!”
The evening will include a cocktail reception with hors d’oeuvres, a bourbon grab, an elegant dinner from Catering & Events By Suzette, dancing, and silent and live auctions. Our keynote speaker will be Erin Merryn, sharing her inspiring personal story, and about the enactment of “Erin’s Law,” which became law in Tennessee in 2014. Live music will be provided by Coy Roy. And we are pleased to have Department of Children’s Services Director of Communications Alex Denis return as Master of Ceremonies.
Funds raised support investigative and healing services to children and their families who are facing sexual and significant physical abuse. These services include Forensic Interviewing, Child & Family Advocacy, Trauma-Focused Counseling, Case Management, and community-based Prevention.
