The World Famous Glenn Miller Orchestra
2021-09-03 20:00 (America/Chicago) | The Franklin Theatre, 419 Main Street, Franklin, 37064, United States
The World Famous, Glenn Miller Orchestra, the most popular and sought after big band in the world today for both concert and swing dance engagements. With its unique jazz sound, the Glenn Miller Orchestra is considered to be one of the greatest bands of all time. The present Glenn Miller Orchestra was formed in 1956 and has been touring consistently since, playing an average of 300 live dates a year all around the world. Nick Hilscher is the orchestra’s present music director.
The first Glenn Miller Orchestra did not make it at all. It was a total and absolute economic failure. But Glenn knew what he wanted, held to that dedication and relentlessly worked to succeed. He launched his second band – the one that lives on today – in March of 1938. The Glenn Miller Orchestra has been a “hit” ever since.
The legendary Glenn Miller was one of the most successful of all dance bandleaders back in the Swing Era of the 1930’s and 40’s. A matchless string of hit records, the constant impact of radio broadcasts and the drawing power at theatres, hotels and dance pavilion, built and sustained the momentum of popularity.
Glenn disbanded his musical organization in 1942 at the height of its popularity to volunteer for the Army. There, he organized and led the famous Glenn Miller Army Air Force Band. It went to Europe to entertain servicemen performing numerous live and radio shows. On December 15, 1944, Major Miller took off in a single engine plane from Europe to precede his band to France, disappearing over the English Channel, never to be seen again. The army declared him officially dead a year later.
With the release of the major motion movie The Glenn Miller Story featuring Jimmy Stewart and June Allyson in 1954, interest and popular demand led the Miller Estate to authorize the formation of the present Glenn Miller Orchestra. On June 6, 1956, and under the direction of drummer Ray McKinley who had become the unofficial leader of the Army Air Force Band after Glenn’s disappearance, the reformed Glenn Miller Orchestra performed its first concert and has been on the road ever since. Other leaders have followed Ray including clarinetists Buddy DeFranco and Peanuts Hucko, trombonists Buddy Morrow, Jimmy Henderson, Larry O’Brien and Gary Tole, and tenor saxophonist Dick Gerhart. Since January 2012, vocalist Nick Hilscher leads the band.
Today, the 18 member ensemble continues to play many of the original Miller arrangements both from the civilian band and the AAFB libraries. Additionally, it also plays some more modern selections arranged and performed in the Miller style and sound.
Just as it was in Glenn’s day, the Glenn Miller Orchestra today is still the most sought after big band in the world.

Shining Light on Wrongful Convictions with Exoneree Anthony Ray Hinton
2021-08-31 17:30 | Montgomery Bell Academy, 4001 Harding Road, Nashville, TN, 37205, United States
Tuesday, Aug 31st, 2021, at 5:30PM
Montgomery Bell Academy and the Tennessee Innocence Project present an evening with Anthony Ray Hinton.

The event will include a 45-minute presentation in which Mr. Hinton will share his decades-long journey to exoneration and freedom, followed by a 15-minute question & answer session. General admission to the presentation is open and free to the public.
As a ‘Friends of Freedom’ ticket holder or sponsor, individuals will receive reserved priority seating for the presentation and a copy of Mr. Hinton’s memoir, The Sun Does Shine: How I Found Life and Freedom on Death Row. You will then join Mr. Hinton for a book signing and cocktail reception following the event.

Meet our speaker: Anthony Ray Hinton survived for 30 years on Alabama’s death row. His story is a decades-long journey to exoneration and freedom. In 1985, Mr. Hinton was convicted of the unsolved murders of two fast-food restaurant managers based on the testimony of ballistics experts for the State who claimed that the crime bullets came from a dusty revolver found in Mr. Hinton’s mother’s closet. Without the benefit of a competent expert to challenge the State’s theory (Mr. Hinton’s lawyer hired a ballistics expert who was blind in one eye), an all-white jury convicted Mr. Hinton and he was sentenced to death. After years of petitioning to have the revolver re-analyzed, three independent experts concluded that the bullets could not have been fired from his mother’s revolver. With the assistance of the Equal Justice Initiative, led by attorney Bryan Stevenson, Mr. Hinton was freed in 2015. Since his release, Mr. Hinton has traveled the world sharing his story and discussing the changes that need to be made to prevent similar injustices from happening to other people. In 2018, Mr. Hinton published The Sun Does Shine: How I Found Life and Freedom on Death Row, which was selected for Oprah’s Book Club and is a New York Timesbestseller. In 2019, he was awarded an honorary doctorate from St. Bonaventure University.

Parking is available in the parking garage on the East side of Campus at 205 South Wilson Boulevard, in any of the surface lots on campus, or in the Vine Street Christian church parking lot across Montgomery Bell Avenue.
This event will take place in the new Burkholder Wellness Center. Please enter through the main rotunda entrance, go through the double doors on the left to enter the Event Center.

FT Live; Janelle Arthur
2021-08-30 20:00 | The Franklin Theatre, 419 Main Street, Franklin, 37064, United States
Janelle Arthur was singing before she could talk and at 4 years old, she told her mom that she wanted to be on the Grand Ole Opry.
From an early inspiration, to portraying her as a child in the production Paradise Road, to releasing their duet, Janelle Arthur’s bond with the iconic Dolly Parton came full circle with the collaboration of a song.
“Hand Me Downs” is a nostalgic anthem written and co-produced by Arthur, featuring the one and only Dolly Parton. The lyrics are timeless, and illuminate what really matters: family, inherited traits, heirlooms, and pride in our heritage. Their common East Tennessee roots are unmistakable in their vocal blend and honest delivery.
Rising from her humble roots in the heart of the Smoky Mountains to international exposure as a top finalist on television’s American Idol, Janelle has fashioned her way to 22 Grand Ole Opry Performances, appearances on The Today Show, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Access Hollywood, Today in Nashville, and The American Idol Tour.
Janelle Arthur’s acting debut emanated when she was offered the lead role in the feature film, Runnin’ From My Roots. Arthur co-wrote and performed 5 songs on the film’s original soundtrack. The title track’s music video “Runnin’ From My Roots” spawned a #1 on CMT’s Music 12 Pack for 6 weeks.
With thousands of performances, national and international fans, this Nashville recording artist continues to astound fans with her unyielding songwriting talent, pure and compelling vocals, and her undisputed dominion of the stage.
Janelle Arthur has proven to be one of the most promising multi-dimensional entertainers since Dolly Parton and Reba McEntire with her inherent ability to connect with audiences through film, television, and live shows. She moved to Nashville to pursue her passion for songwriting and plans to create music for the rest of her life. Janelle is looking forward to releasing new music and performing more shows on the road this year.
Opening Act: Brett Sherokey

A native of Belleville, IL, writer/artist, Brett Sheroky moved to Nashville in 2009. Working as a speech therapist by day, Brett spent over a decade on the outside of the music scene focusing on the craft of songwriting. That disciplined approach paid off in 2020 when Brett signed his first publishing deal with SeaGayle Music. Sheroky has landed two major artist cuts with Granger Smith’s “Man Made” and Blake Shelton’s “Bible Verses”. Brett’s sound is dynamic and falls somewhere between 90s country and 70s rock. We are so excited for people to get to know his artist side. Check out Brett’s new single, “4 Goodyears”!!

FT Live: BJ Thomas
2021-08-27 20:00 - 2021-08-28 20:00 | The Franklin Theatre, 419 Main Street, Franklin, 37064, United States
BJ Thomas owns one of the most distinctive voices in American pop music-a reassuringly masculine timbre conveyed with a smattering of unique embellishments that represent a distillation of the most influential genres in pop culture.
Nothing about the identifiable sound of BJ THOMAS’ voice has changed, but there’s a re-energized commitment behind it. Recognizing the continued loyalty of his fans, BJ has released his first new studio album in seven years with Curb Records.
Concurrent with that project, he contributed six songs to the soundtrack and co-stared in the independent picture JAKE’S CORNER. He has also developed an album for release in Brazil, where he remains a significant musical signpost; much of it mirroring his own blue-collar background.
“We’ve always tried to do the right thing as far as getting our music out and encouraging people with positive music,” BJ reflects.
Indeed, many of BJ’s signature hits-the Oscar-winning Raindrops Keep Fallin’ On My Head, the million-selling (Hey Won’t You Play) Another Somebody Done Somebody Wrong Song and his career-igniting cover of Hank Williams’ I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry-invariably find the plots’ protagonists employing some level of positivity to overcome the universal battle with loneliness.
With over 70 million records sold, BJ’s vocal versatility is as apparent today as it was when he recorded his first hit in 1967, “I’m so Lonesome I Could Cry”.
Since the mid-1960s, BJ Thomas has become one of the most recognized and respected voices of the American musical landscape. He has impacted many areas of popular music with 15 Top 40 pop hits, 10 Top 40 country hits, 5 Grammys, 2 Dove awards and 15 Gold and Platinum Records. He is the only artist to successfully move to the top of three music genres not as a crossover and also have crossover success.

FT Live: David Wilcox
2021-08-21 20:00 | The Franklin Theatre, 419 Main Street, Franklin, 37064, United States
More than three decades into his career, singer/songwriter David Wilcox continues to push himself, just as he always has. Wilcox, by so many measures, is a quintessential folk singer, telling stories full of heart, humor, and hope, substance, searching, and style. His innate sense of adventure and authenticity is why critics and colleagues, alike, have always praised not just his artistry, but his humanity, as well.
That’s very much by design. It’s the result of a man giving himself over in gratitude and service to something bigger than himself. An early ’80s move to Warren Wilson College in North Carolina set his wheels in motion, as he started playing guitar and writing songs, processing his own inner workings and accessing his own inner wisdom. In 1987, within a couple of years of graduating, Wilcox had released his first independent album, The Nightshift Watchman. A year later, he won the prestigious Kerrville Folk Festival New Folk Award and, in 1989, he signed with A&M Records, selling more than 100,000 copies of his A&M debut, How Did You Find Me Here.
In the 30 years and more than 20 records since – whether with a major label, an indie company, or his own imprint – Wilcox has continued to hone his craft, pairing thoughtful insights with his warm baritone, open tunings, and deft technique. He’s also kept up a brisk and thorough tour itinerary, performing 80 to 100 shows a year throughout the U.S., and regularly deploying his talents by improvising a “Musical Medicine” song for an audience member in need. In recent years he’s taken that process a step further, carefully writing and recording dozens of his “Custom Songs” for long-time fans who seek his help in commemorating and explaining the key milestones in their lives.
Lest anyone think that he’s lost his touch, Wilcox pulled no punches on his most recent release, 2018’s The View From the Edge. Not only does the song cycle find him delving into mental health, family legacies, spiritual contemplations, and topical concerns, the song “We Make the Way By Walking” also won him the Grand Prize in the 2018 USA Songwriting Contest.
Wilcox’s honesty is why Rolling Stone has written that his “ongoing musical journey is compelling and richly deserving of a listen.” It’s also why Blue Ridge Public Radio has noted that, “The connection people feel with David’s music is also the connection they feel with each other.” As Wilcox himself puts it, “I’m grateful to music. I have a life that feels deeply good, but when I started playing music, nothing in my life felt that good. I started to write songs because I wanted to find a way to make my life feel as good as I felt when I heard a great song. I don’t think I’d be alive now if it had not been for music.” And we’re all grateful for the result.
