Gary Morris
2022-08-19 20:00 | The Franklin Theatre, 419 Main Street, Franklin, 37064, United States
Gary Morris is known world-wide for his vocal mastery, able to hold audiences mesmerized and overwhelmed by the pure beauty and inspiration of his voice. His recording career garnered five #1 and 16 Top 10 singles, including “Why Lady Why,” “The Love She Found in Me” and “Baby Bye Bye.” Morris’ original rendition of the classic “Wind Beneath My Wings” won both the Country Music Association and Academy of Country Music “Song of the Year” awards. Morris was also named Billboard’s “Male Artist of the Year” early in his career. At the height of his Nashville recording career, the Texas-bred tenor was tapped to play the lead role of Jean Valjean in Broadway’s epic hit “Les Misérables,” to critical acclaim. This role led to a Drama Desk Award nomination. His famous rendition of “Bring Him Home” on the platinumselling, Grammy Award-winning international cast album resulted in a Command Performance by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Additional Broadway roles include Rodolfo in the production of Puccini’s opera “La Bohéme” opposite of Linda Ronstadt.
Morris’ love of the great outdoors, combined with his respect and compassion for veterans, has resulted in his affiliation with Fly Fishers International and its Abilene Fly Fishers club. Gary’s passion for wounded veterans also motivated him to make his Mountain Spirit Ranch a place where veterans suffering from PTSD can experience the therapeutic properties of the serene sport of fly fishing to treat PTSD and other combat-related conditions. Morris has hunted on all seven continents. He also hosted a TV show on The Nashville Network called North American Sportsman, which ran for five seasons and featured many celebrity guests including Bryant Gumbel and Troy Aikman.
Whether he is melting hearts with this voice and music, amazing New York City critics with his acting, using his outdoor experience to teach others respect for the environment, or using his gifts to help our wounded service men and women through a difficult time in their lives, there is no doubt Gary Morris is impacting the world with his gifts and passion.
Morris’ most recent album is “Sense of Pride.”
AWARDS: Billboards New Male Artist of the Year 1982; ACM Single of the Year 1984 for “Wind Beneath My Wings”

Charles Esten
2022-09-03 20:00 | The Franklin Theatre, 419 Main Street, Franklin, 37064, United States
Charles Esten – The Franklin Theatre – September 3
Over the last few years, singer/songwriter and actor Charles Esten – best known for his roles as Ward Cameron on the NETFLIX global hit show Outer Banks, and Deacon Claybourne in ABC/CMT’s Nashville, has performed hundreds of live concerts, including multiple headline tours in the US, Germany, Amsterdam, and UK, including the Royal Albert Hall. In early 2020, his main stage performance as part of the popular Country2Country festival in Europe was cut short by the pandemic. After that, for over a year during lockdown, he entertained fans virtually with his weekly FacebookLive Quarantine Livestream that to date has drawn almost 1.5 million total views. Gradually, he has been able to resume live performances, most notably on the Grand Ole Opry, where he has made over 150 appearances to date. He was excited to open at The Ryman for Deanna Carter in November.
In his adopted hometown of Nashville, Esten serves as the National Honorary Spokesperson for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s annual “Light The Night” Walk, and as a board member and volunteer for Musicians On Call. When not filming or touring, he continues to write and record his own music with over 10 million streams to date, and a 2018 Guinness World Record for releasing 54 original songs (available on iTunes, and on Spotify) once a week, for 54 consecutive weeks. He is currently working selecting some of that new music for release. In May he released a new single, WORST DAY – a duet with Julia Cole (CMT Next Women of Country, Class of ‘22) – Esten says, “This song is a flat-out upbeat banger about the joy of having that someone you love right there beside you in the good times, and even more especially, in the hard times too!”
Esten is thrilled to be returning to the Franklin Theatre!

Millions know her from duets with Keith Urban, Cyndi Lauper and heart stopping performances on America’s Got Talent, but locally she is the songwriter’s favorite singer, the singer’s favorite writer, and everyone’s favorite friend. While she has sung on most stages and tv’s in the world, she hasn’t made a record in the last 5 years and never one this personal. She opened up her journals to Leroy Powell & Tim Jones (collectively known as Whiskey Wolves of the West), and constructed mini-broadway musicals. The first single from her new record, Dear Diary, is coming soon. Stay tuned to @emilywestofficial

Mary Gauthier
2022-09-07 20:00 | The Franklin Theatre, 419 Main Street, Franklin, 37064, United States
Mary Gauthier to perform in historic downtown Franklin at The Franklin Theatre on September 7th at 8 PM.
Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter, Mary Gauthier’s first nine albums presented extraordinary confessional songs, deeply personal, profoundly emotional pieces ranging from “I Drink,” a blunt accounting of addiction, to “March 11, 1962,” the day she was born — and relinquished to an orphanage — to “Worthy,” in which the singer finally understands she is deserving of love.
Each song on her latest album, Rifles and Rosary Beads, is a gut punch: deceptively simple and emotionally complex. All eleven songs co-written with and for wounded veterans. Eleven of the nearly four hundred songs that highly accomplished songwriters have co-written as part of Darden Smith’s five-year-old SongwritingWith:Soldiers program.
This performance will feature speacial guest, Jaimee Harris.
FT Live sponsored by Jackson.

What could be more exciting than 30+ highly acclaimed artists painting on the streets and pastures of Leiper’s Fork?
On Friday and Saturday, come and experience the painters creating paintings en’ plein air (in open air). You can wander from easel to easel as they paint on locations surrounding the gallery and experience the delight in meeting these wonderful folks. During this time, from 10am-5pm, their paintings will be for sale on the porch. They will be framed and ready to go but you only have these two days to pick your favorite!
This is a wonderful opportunity to acquire paintings from the most celebrated and distinguished painters of the southeast. Please make plans to join us in the spring for this wonderful event!

Full Moon Hikes (Summer Owl Prowls)
Join us as we explore Owl’s Hill at sunset and enjoy the sights and sounds of day turning to night. We’ll listen for owls, coyotes, and night-singing insects. As the stars come out, we’ll look for constellations, planets, and even meteors.
Meet our non-releasable owl ambassadors and learn about the adaptations that help nocturnal animals survive. Find out what we can expect to see in the sky that night. After that, we’ll head out on the trail to look and listen for the wonders of the night. No flashlights, please!
Owl Prowl programs include an easy one-mile hike with some gentle uphill and downhill hiking. Our trails are natural surface, and hikers can expect a few spots with uneven terrain. Wear shoes suitable for hiking. Insect repellent is strongly recommended.
