SUMMARY:TAYLOR HICKS AT RENFRO VALLEY
DESCRIPTION:For Taylor Hicks\, winning “American Idol’s” blockbuster fifth season was just the beginning. Hailed as “part Stax\, part Motown and part honky-tonk” by The New York Times\, Hicks’ intoxicating blend of soul\, blues\, country\, and rock ‘n’ roll quickly rendered him a household name as he progressed to the show’s record-breaking finale in 2006\, a historic television event which drew an audience of more than 200 million viewers. Hicks immediately followed his “American Idol” victory with a No. 1 Billboard single and an RIAA®-certified platinum debut\, and soon went on to make history as both the first male “American Idol” champion featured on a GRAMMY-winning record (Jimmy Fallon’s Blow Your Pants Off)\, and the first to land a prestigious Las Vegas residency. A versatile artist\, actor and advocate\, Hicks has since ventured into theater\, television and film\, starring in Serenbe Playhouse’s 2019 production of “Shenandoah\,” touring as Teen Angel in the popular Broadway musical “Grease” in addition to appearing on “Law & Order: SVU” and hosting the INSP series “State Plate\,” which won the Cynopsis TV Award for Best Reality Series (Travel). Hicks’ passion for southern cuisine led him back to his native Alabama\, where he opened up SAW’s Juke Joint\, a restaurant crowned one of the “25 Best Barbecue Spots in America” by Men’s Journal.

SUMMARY:AN ALWAYS LORETTA CHRISTMAS WITH THE COALMINERS AT RENFRO VALLEY
DESCRIPTION:Like so many successful performers\, native Kentuckian Emily Portman cut her musical teeth singing in church and learning to read music as a member of her high school band. Inspired by her parents’ music\, her influences were an amalgamation of classic country and classic rock\, with a little ‘80s music mixed in and included Merle Haggard\, Jim Croce\, and Creedence Clearwater Revival. In college\, she joined a choral group\, learned the guitar\, and began performing professionally at the Corydon Jamboree just across the border in neighboring Indiana. However\, when she covered the music of Loretta Lynn\, people took notice. \nAt an early age\, perhaps due to her Kentucky roots and natural inflection\, Emily was told that she\, “sounded a lot like” country music legend\, Loretta Lynn\, so she became a student of her artistry. Emily pored over the singer’s entire catalogue of music and began working to emulate Loretta’s vocal style and her onstage mannerisms.In the summer of 2004\, Emily entered a “Sing Like” contest at the Kentucky Opry and won $1\,000 for her portrayal of Loretta. \nJust a couple years later\, after posting a video of herself performing a Loretta Lynn song on YouTube\, she was discovered by Michael Twitty (eldest son of the great Conway Twitty) who cast her to portray Loretta in the nationally touring musical “It’s Only MakeBelieve.” The musical was instrumental in establishing Portman’s career. Over the next two decades\, herportrayal of the Coal Miner’s Daughter would carry to the most prestigious stages (including the Ryman Auditorium and the Grand Ole Opry)\, where she would rub shoulders with some of the biggest names in the business\, including George Jones\, Archie Campbell\, Vern Gosdin\, Toby Keith\, Chris Cagle\, and even Loretta Lynn\, herself\, with whom she formed a close friendship. \nEmily made frequent trips to Loretta Lynn’s Ranch in Hurricane Mills\,TN. During one of her visits\, the two singers were enjoying a casual conversation when\, in mid-sentence\, Lynn paused\, looked at her straight in the eyes and said\, “ya’ know\, we have a real connection\, don’t we?” If you ever saw the two performers together\, the connection they shared was obvious.After Ms. Lynn’s unfortunate recent passing\, Emily Portman connected with Loretta’s longtime backup band\, The Coalminers. They agreed to join talents and collaborate to honor the memory and music of this true country music trail blazer with “Always Loretta”—a show authorized by the Loretta Lynn family that includes all the greatest hits and shares intimate stories of Loretta’s life through the eyes of those who knew her best. \nAuthorized and Approved by the Loretta Lynn Family! \nwww.alwaysloretta.com

SUMMARY:Josh Turner and Mo Pitney at Renfro Valley Entertainment Center
DESCRIPTION:MCA Nashville recording artist Josh Turner\, while a multi-platinum-selling star himself\, is a country music fan first and foremost. He’s even concocted his own version of Mount Rushmore conceived solely of country music legends. Turner’s “Mount Rushmore of Country Music” boasts five faces rather than four (it’s his mountain\, after all) — Randy Travis\, John Anderson\, Johnny Cash\, Vern Gosdin\, and Hank Williams. \nThe giants carved into the granite of Turner’s musical soul form the core of his aptly titled new album\, Country State of Mind. “I’ve always said that any song you hear coming from my voice\, you’re going to hear bits and pieces of those five guys\,” he says. “They taught me how to be Josh Turner.” \n“When I was growing up\, before I moved to Nashville\, I was crazy about sad songs\,” he says. “There has always been a part of my heart that has loved those sad\, lonesome\, and slow songs.” \nTurner chose his guests as carefully as he did his material\, selecting artists who shared his love and respect for the material. “I wanted artists I knew have an appreciation for traditional country music\,” he says. Besides heroes Travis and Anderson\, Turner invited Country Music Hall of Famer Kris Kristofferson to record a new version of his 1973 chart-topper “Why Me” with him. The title track\, originally a 1986 hit for Hank Williams Jr.\, becomes a duet with fellow Grand Ole Opry member Chris Janson. The members of Runaway June take George Jones’ part on “You Don’t Seem to Miss Me\,” and Maddie & Tae sing with Turner on “Desperately\,” a 2004 single for George Strait and the album’s newest song. Country State of Mind also includes songs originally made famous by Keith Whitley (“I’m No Stranger to the Rain”)\, Waylon Jennings (“Good Ol’ Boys” Theme from The Dukes of Hazzard)\, and Alan Jackson (“Midnight in Montgomery”). \nFrom the very start of his career through chart-topping hits like “Your Man\,” “Would You Go With Me\,” “Why Don’t We Just Dance\,” and “All Over Me\,” Turner has immersed himself in country music’s history and its iconic figures. After all\, this is someone who\, as a student at Nashville’s Belmont University\, took an open gate on Johnny Cash’s property as a sign he should knock on the legendary singer’s door and introduce himself. \n“The doorknob wiggles\, the door swings open\, and there stands Johnny Cash\,” Turner recalls. “He and I both jump back\, because he didn’t expect to see me\, and I sure didn’t expect him to answer the door.” \nLater\, as the hits came\, along with multiple GRAMMY\, CMA\, and ACM nominations\, Turner joined the Grand Ole Opry. One of country music’s oldest and most hallowed traditions\, the Opry once counted Hank Williams Sr.\, Johnny Cash\, and George Jones among its ranks; now\, Turner shares membership with heroes like Randy Travis\, Alan Jackson\, and Patty Loveless\, as well as guest Chris Janson. \nFor nearly two decades\, Turner has been one of country music’s most recognizable voices\, selling more than 8.5 million units and amassing more than 2.5 billion global streams. He has never kept his reverence for traditional country music a secret\, but\, with this latest album\, Josh Turner is definitely in a Country State of Mind. \nReally\, though\, he always has been.

SUMMARY:Muscadine Bloodline with Taylor Hunnicutt at Renfro Valley Entertainment Center
DESCRIPTION:There’s a new force making major waves in country music\, Muscadine Bloodline. Proud natives of Mobile Alabama\, Gary Stanton and Charlie Muncaster started Muscadine Bloodline in early 2016. From the first time they took stage\, Nashville started talking… so now\, with two Billboard charting critically acclaimed EP’s under their belt\, it’s no surprise the rest of the music world is quickly catching on. The duo’s reputation for high-energy live experiences has resulted in a schedule full of shows spanning from coast to coast. Charlie’s contemporary vocals complimented by Gary’s harmonies and masterful guitar licks make MB a powerfully refreshing mic of talent\, passion\, and unfiltered authenticity. Infamously undaunted by the big stage\, their sound intertwines the brash irreverence of early southern rockers with the seductive quality of 90s country love songs. Captivating hooks heard in songs like “Movin’ On” and the aggressively anthemic “WD-40” stand as a testament to MB’s wide ranging music-making capability. Every song and every show is a moving experience but at the same time\, unmistakably Muscadine. \n \n
