BETH NEILSEN CHAPMAN
If you are going to a Beth Nielsen Chapman concert get ready to laugh and cry and, well, just fasten your seat belt. One thing you can count on is one great song after another and some fascinating stories woven between them. Twice Grammy-nominated Nashville based, Beth Nielsen Chapman has released thirteen solo albums and written seven #1 hits and songs recorded by Bonnie Raitt, Willie Nelson, Bette Midler, Elton John, Neil Diamond, Michael McDonald, Keb Mo’, Roberta Flack, Waylon Jennings, Indigo Girls, & Faith Hill’s Mega-hit This Kiss, ASCAP’S 1999 Song Of The Year.

Hearts Of Glass, Beth’s newest album, riveting and sparse, is a powerful collection of songs that reach into the place within us where vulnerability meets strength which is often where Beth’s songs will take you, right into the center of the full beautiful dance of contradictions that inhabit love and life.
DAVID WILCOX
David Wilcox released an independent album in 1987, was a winner of the prestigious Kerrville Folk Festival New Folk award in 1988, and by 1989 he had signed with A&M Records. His first release on the label, How Did You Find Me Here, sold over 100,000 copies the first year largely by word of mouth.
Considered a ‘songwriter’s songwriter’, his songs have been covered by artists such as k.d. lang and many others. In addition to his writing prowess, his skills as a performer and storyteller are unmatched. He holds audiences rapt with nothing more than a single guitar, thoroughly written songs, a fearless ability to mine the depths of human emotions of joy, sorrow and everything in between, and all tempered by a quick and wry wit.

“Rising from the Ashes: William Holland and the Cemetery Community”
2018-07-08 15:00
On Sunday, July 8th at 3 P.M., the Franklin Civil War Round Table will host Stones River National Battlefield Park ranger Jim Lewis, who will present, “Rising from the Ashes: William Holland and the Cemetery Community.”
At the end of the Civil War, battlefield landscapes were often changed forever, especially when cemeteries were created. In the year following the war, William Holland and his comrades from the 111th United States Colored Troops helped establish Stones River National Cemetery, while also rebuilding their own lives on the very blood-stained fields they had fought across. Ranger Lewis will explore the evolution and impact to the community of this iconic cemetery.
Born in Burlington, Vermont and raised in New Jersey, Lewis is a graduate of Cornell University and resides in Murfreesboro. He has served in the National Park Service since 1991 and has been at Stones River since 1997, now as the park’s Chief of Interpretation & Cultural Resource Management. He serves on the advisory board of the Tennessee Civil War Preservation Association and is a founding member of the Middle Tennessee Civil War Round Table.
The event is free to the public. The Franklin Civil War Round Table is an educational program of Franklin’s Charge and meets each month at Carnton Plantation’s Fleming Center, 1345 Eastern Flank Circle.
