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 Country State of Mind also includes songs originally made famous by Keith Whitley (“I’m No Stranger to the Rain”)\, Waylon Jennings (“Good Ol’ Boys” Theme from The Dukes of Hazzard)\, and Alan Jackson (“Midnight in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

SUMMARY:John Conlee at Renfro Valley Entertainment Center
DESCRIPTION:John Conlee’s hits have rarely been songs that see life through the hard-fact-hiding “Rose Colored Glasses” described in his first smash record of 1978. Through all the years since\, his emphasis has been on songs of the lives of everyday people — middle class\, hardworking people\, and those who’ve been unable to attain even that level of economic ease. He made a fresh hit again of “Busted\,” when country fans might have thought Ray Charles and Johnny Cash had enjoyed the last word on that one. He had us nodding in agreement to the tough realities of “Nothing Behind You\, Nothing in Sight.” \n“There are more of us ordinary folks than anybody else\,” says the big-voiced baritone whose hits also include “Common Man\,” “Working Man\,” and “Friday Night Blues.” \nWhen John Conlee looks at love\, the view includes Harlan Howard and Bobby Braddock’s searing “I Don’t Remember Loving You” — and he has no trouble singing about being on the “Backside of Thirty.” \nNo-nonsense John grew up on a 250-acre Kentucky farm where he raised hogs\, cultivated tobacco with mules\, and mowed pastures. He also worked as a funeral home attendant and mortician\, and as a pop music disc jockey in Nashville before settling into a career in country music during the mid-1970s. It’s typical of John that he used the returns from that long string of No. 1 hits (four in 1983 and 1984 alone) to get back to farm life himself. \n“I spend all of my off-time\, what I have of it\, with my family on our farm\,” John explains. “I enjoy it. There’s no glamour to it. Woodworking\, gunsmithing or driving a tractor requires getting grease or varnish all over you. It’s dirty work\, but I like it.” \nJohn joined the Grand Ole Opry cast in 1981. “Back when I joined the Opry\, there was not a great big hoopla about a new member coming on board\,” he says. “But now\, we make a big deal out of it for the people that join. It really doesn’t matter to me. I mean officially becoming a member made it a great night.” \nTwo decades later\, John still stirs the hall to the rafters with his biggest hits\, as well as his more recent salute to the families of American fighting troops on “They Also Serve.” \nAt one time\, John raised more than $140\,000 — one dollar at a time — for Feed the Children from the dollar bills tossed on the stage when he sang that 1983 hit version of “Busted.” He still collects donations from fans during that song’s performance\, currently channeling the money to the benefit of Wounded Warriors. John was instrumental in the formation of the Family Farm Defense Fund. He helped Willie Nelson\, Neil Young and John Mellencamp organize and entertain at Farm Aid concerts that raised more than $13 million in grants. \nJohn maintains an active touring schedule and still records albums.  He is also a member of the Kentucky Music Hall of Fame.

SUMMARY:CHRISTMAS WITH JIMMY FORTUNE
DESCRIPTION:Jimmy Fortune toured\, sang and performed with the legendary Statler Brothers for 21 years. He joined them first as a temporary replacement for Lew DeWitt\, after DeWitt heard him singing at a ski resort and recommended him. Following an audition in Nashville\, Jimmy was contacted by the Statler Brothers and performed his first show with them on January 28\, 1982\, in Savannah\, Georgia. Due to the debilitating effects of Crohn’s Disease\, Lew was unable to return to the stage with the Statlers\, and Jimmy was hired as a permanent replacement in August of 1982. \nFortune quickly lived up to his name. He wrote the group’s second No. 1 hit\, “Elizabeth\,” on their 1983 album Today\, and followed that with two more No. 1 hits–“My Only Love” (from 1984’s Atlanta Blue) and “Too Much On My Heart” (from 1985’s Pardners in Rhyme). Fortune also wrote the top-10 hit “Forever” from 1986’s Four for the Show and co-wrote the top-10 hit “More Than a Name on the Wall” from 1988’s The Greatest Hits. \nJimmy has performed in all of the U.S. States\, in Canadian Provinces\, and in front of audiences as large as 100\,000. He was part of the Statlers’ annual Happy Birthday USA celebration in Staunton\, Virginia\, for 14 years. He also sang on many of the Statlers’ gold\, platinum\, and double platinum recordings. Jimmy’s career included The Nashville Network’s popular “The Statler Brothers Show” which aired for seven seasons and debuted in 1991 as the highest rated show for the network. Jimmy was privileged to perform at the White House on two occasions\, once for President Ronald Reagan\, and once for President George H. W. Bush. He also presented a special gift to actress Elizabeth Taylor by singing his song “Elizabeth” to her for a birthday celebration. \nJimmy and The Statler Brothers were inducted into the GMA (Gospel Music Association) Hall of Fame on October 29\, 2007\, and inducted into the CMA (Country Music Association) Hall of Fame on June 29\, 2008. Jimmy\, as a solo artist\, was inducted into the Virginia Musical Hall of Fame in 2018. \nAfter The Statler Brothers retired on October 26\, 2002\, Jimmy seized the opportunity to launch a solo career to share new music with his fans.  His first solo CD\, When One Door Closes\, was released August 2003 on Audium/Koch. He released a gospel album\, I Believe\, in June 2005\, a Christmas CD\, Feels Like Christmas\, in 2006\, a live concert DVD in 2007 a country CD\, “Windows” in 2009\, “Lessons” in 2012\, and “Hits and Hymns” CD and DVD through Gaither Music Group in 2015 which debuted at #10 Billboard Country Album\, #1 Southern Gospel\, and #6 Billboard Contemporary Christian. The DVD debuted at #1 on Billboard Music Video charts.  In 2017 he recorded a compilation of his favorite songs called “Jimmy Fortune Sings The Classics” on the Gaither Music label. Jimmy is currently living in Nashville\, writing\, touring\, and recording a new project for Gaither Music called “God and Country” set to be released in May of 2019.

SUMMARY:38 SPECIAL WITH THE RENEGADES
DESCRIPTION:After more than four decades\, 38 SPECIAL continues to bring their signature blast of Southern Rock to over 100 cities a year. At each and every show\, thousands of audience members are amazed by the explosive power of the band’s performance. Their many Gold and Platinum album awards stand in testament to the endurance of a legendary powerhouse.With sales in excess of 20 million\, most associate the band with their arena-rock pop smashes\, “Hold On Loosely\,” “Rockin’ Into the Night\,” “Caught Up in You\,” “Fantasy Girl\,” “If I’d Been the One\,” “Back Where You Belong\,” “Chain Lightnin’\,”“Second Chance\,” and more–Timeless hits that remain a staple at radio\, immediately recognizable from the first opening chord\, and paving the way to their present-day touring regimen. Guitarist/vocalist DON BARNES says it’s all about maintaining that intensity in their live shows. “We never wanted to be one of those bands that had may be gotten a little soft or complacent over the years. We’re a team\, and it’s always been kind of an unspoken rule that we don’t slack up\, we stack up. We go out there every night to win. ”Completing the team is bassist BARRY DUNAWAY\, drummer GARY MOFFATT and keyboardist/vocalist BOBBY CAPPS. The most recent addition to the band is legendary virtuoso guitarist and vocalist JERRY RIGGS. Onstage\, it is a celebration of camaraderie and brotherhood\, a precision unit bringing the dedication and honesty to a long history of classic songs\, as well as surprisingly fresh new material.  \nIt is that steely determination that lives on in the hearts of these ‘Wild-Eyed Southern Boys. ‘Barnes adds\, “This music keeps our wheels on the road. We’re a band that’s tried to stay honest with what has driven us over the years. We started out with nothing but bold determination to make our own history and to endure. Looking back now\, it has been our greatest pride to have persevered and attained that level of success and longevity. For us\, it’s the ultimate validation. “The magic’s still there\,” adds Barnes. “It’s an emotional high for us to keep ‘bringing it’ after all these years. When those lights go down and we all walk up those steps to the stage and hear that crowd roar\, it’s a real rush to the head. It feels like we’re getting ready to strap ourselves in and it just takes off from there.
