Ronnie MilsapNovember 9, 2019 at 7:30 pm

Forty #1s. Five decades of charted singles. He broke genre rules and became one of the biggest pop/AC and even R&B artists of the late ‘70s and early ‘80s. He has six Grammys, CMA Entertainer of the Year and four Album of the Year Awards. He is always chasing the music, always hungry for the songs, Ronnie Milsap is now an inspiration for a new generation of country stars from critical standard setters Kacey Musgraves and LITTLE BIG TOWN to CMA/ACM Entertainers of the Year Luke Bryan and Jason Aldean, as well as a standard-setter for friends like Dolly Parton, George Strait, Willie Nelson and even groundbreakers Leon Russell and Billy Gibbons. He’s the same guy today, but all these years later, he’s still a man who lives to play.

And man, can he tell a story.

Brass Transit was formed in 2008 and brought together 8 of the most talented and accomplished award winning musicians. Their sole purpose was to pay tribute to one of the world’s greatest and most successful pop/rock groups of all time, Chicago. Since then, the group has toured North America dazzling audiences with their flawless performances and spectacular attention to every detail of the Chicago songbook. Hits like: Saturday In the Park, 25 or 6 to 4, If you Leave Me Now, and You’re The Inspiration have left crowds in awe and on their feet more than once during a show.

They recently produced their first CD taking top hits from the ‘70s and recording them with horns in the Chicago style. The result is a fresh approach to some of the greatest hits of that era. Brass Transit will bring you back to the most memorable times of your life!

The 5 BrownsMay 9, 2020 at 7:30 pm

The 5 Browns are delivering on their dream to wake up classical music by introducing it to the widest, largest and most excited audience they can find. Whether performing individually or together in various combinations from duo to complex five-piano arrangements, The 5 Browns reveal a deep connection to the intent of their material while bringing a fresh energy to the color and tonal spectrum of their sound.

The 5 Browns – Ryan, Melody, Gregory, Deondra and Desirae – all attended New York’s Juilliard School, becoming the first family of five siblings ever accepted simultaneously. People magazine dubbed them the “Fab Five” at about the same time they were featured on Oprah and 60 Minutes. The New York Post has proclaimed: “One family, five pianos and 50 fingers add up to the biggest classical music sensation in years…When these kids do Rachmaninoff, they’ll make you forget about Marshall amps.”
