O'SHEA
2022-11-04 19:00 | The Mockingbird Theater at The Factory at Franklin, 230 Franklin Road, Bldg 6, Franklin, TN, 37064, United States
Nashville, Tennessee-based, Australian-born country-pop duo O’Shea formed in 2007 after singer/songwriters Mark and Jay O’Shea made their 15-year love affair official and tied the knot. Mark, who began his musical career at the age of 16 after winning a talent quest, spent the late ’90s and early 2000s atop the Australian country music charts as both a writer and a performer, sharing the stage with the likes of Keith Urban, Trisha Yearwood, and Switchfoot, while Jay spent her formative years as a backup singer for INXS and Tim Rice, and worked as a staff writer in London, Los Angeles, and Nashville, where she landed a number one European single with “Little Miss H” for Spanish megastar Chenoa. The pair began singing and playing together live shortly after their nuptials, and released their debut album under the O’Shea moniker, the aptly titled Mr. and Mrs., in 2011.

An Acoustic Evening with Pam Tillis
2022-11-08 20:00 | The Franklin Theatre, 419 Main Street, Franklin, 37064, United States
An Acoustic Evening with Pam Tillis – The Franklin Theatre
She’s the daughter of Country Music legend Mel Tillis and multi-media artist Doris Tillis. A singer/songwriter whose compositions have been covered in Country, R&B, Bluegrass and Rock. An actor with a long list of film, TV and stage credits. Pam Tillis sidestepped any notions of nepotism and other “isms” that women in show business often face and carved out her own unique space as an entertainer.
Tillis’ 1991 debut country album, Put Yourself In My Place, went gold and yielded two No. 1 and two Top 5 singles. Her next three albums – Homeward Looking Angel, Sweetheart’s Dance and Greatest Hits, were all certified platinum. She achieved six No. 1 songs during the ‘90s Country explosion, including “Shake the Sugar Tree,” “Mi Vida Loca,” “When You Walk In The Room,” “In Between Dances,” “Don’t Tell Me What To Do,” and her signature song, “Maybe It Was Memphis.”
The music muse is still providing inspiration and accolades. Tillis is one of the 2022 Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame nominees. “It’s a huge honor,” she says. “My dad is in the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame. He would be so proud.” After more than three decades of doing what she loves, Tillis jokes, “I guess I’m safely past the ‘flash-in-the-pan’ stage of my career. What keeps me going is learning new things, wearing new hats and trying to stay relevant. I’m still standing, and I’m still grateful.”
Pam Tillis can tell you what it is like to win big awards, run a record label, sing on Broadway, and sell platinum records, but she’d much rather change the subject to the future. “I’ve traveled a million miles in my career,” says Tillis. “The next million don’t scare me a bit.”

The English Beat
2022-11-09 20:00 | The Franklin Theatre, 419 Main Street, Franklin, 37064, United States
The English Beat – The Franklin Theatre
One tempestuous weekend in March 1979 was not only the date of the Three Mile Island nuclear incident, but also, in Birmingham, England, the very first show by a nascent band known as The Beat. Introduced as “the hottest thing since the Pennsylvania meltdown”, the band had a sense that the next few years could well be explosive! The Beat hailed from working class, industrial Birmingham, England. When The Beat rushed on to the music scene in 1979, it was a time of social, political and musical upheaval. Into this storm came The Beat, trying to calm the waters with their simple message of love and unity set to a great dance beat.
“Of all the British bands that dallied with ska as a sound steeped in spirit and unity in the twilight of punk, the English Beat had the best chops.” -The Wall Street Journal
“…the band’s secret weapon was pop, the ear-candy tunes and sharp-fanged lyrics of frontman Dave Wakeling – at his finest, a singer-songwriter as savagely witty as Elvis Costello.” -The Rolling Stone
