SESSIONS
Lee Rocker (of the Stray Cats) Friday, February 7
$30 Orchestra $25 Stadium Shows start at 8PM
Bass player Lee Rocker and the Stray Cat’s worldwide mega hits Stray Cat Strut, Sexy and Seventeen, and Rock this Town have become a part of the fabric of rock and roll.

The McCartney Project Saturday, November 2
ONE STAGE $18 Adult $16 Senior or Student Shows start at 8PM
America’s #1 tribute to Paul McCartney, Wings and The Beatles, their show is more than a concert, it’s an experience! Left-handed, sound-alike, look-alike Tony Burlingame is backed by the McCartney Project band that recreates Sir Paul’s music note-for-note. You will recognize every song as they recreate the best of the Beatles and the monster hits of Wings.
Craig Karges Expect the Extraordinary! Saturday, January 25
One of the world’s most famous mentalists and illusionists, his show combines magic with the psychology and the power of intuition to create the impression that nothing is impossible. Tables float, minds are read, metal bends, and your imagination is challenged because you won’t believe your eyes!
The Shootouts Saturday, February 1
The Shootouts perform an effortless blend of honky-tonk and traditional country music mixed with touches of Americana and western swing. The band marries a blend of Roy Orbison and Bob Wills with the barn-burning sounds of Marty Stuart & His Fabulous Superlatives and Dwight Yoakam. The combination offers a welcome throwback to sounds that flowed out of Nashville, Texas and California in country music’s golden years.
Luke McMaster Icons of Soul Tour Saturday, March 28
Most commonly recognized from the musical duo McMaster & James, Luke has taken the influences that have always inspired his music to a new level. You’ll be treated to brand new music, co-written with iconic Motown songwriters Felix Cavaliere (Groovin’, Good Lovin’), Lamont Dozier (Stop! In the Name of Love, Baby, I Need Your Lovin’), and more.

Heidi Burson Friday, November 8
This Nashville based R&B soul artist is a performer that only comes around once in a lifetime. Her outstanding performance, coupled with her own life experiences, and a generous dusting of wry humor, have forged a voice and style that is uniquely arresting. Her stellar vocals, fantastic piano-playing, and soul-based songwriting is deeply inspired by her love and respect for the great artists that have come before her; Aretha Franklin, Etta James, and many more.
Wild Carrot and their Roots Band Friday, February 14
Rooted in traditional American music, this awardwinning group’s repertoire branches in diverse directions: from original tunes to swing, blues, and traditional songs. Their performances have often been described as “honest, soothing, uplifting and fun all at the same time,” moving an audience from laughter to tears and back again in a way that makes the listener feel like they’re in a conversation with old friends.
Vintage Vocal Trio Friday, April 3
With selections from the Great American Songbook, classic Broadway, jazz, and pop tunes from the 1950s, America’s Sweethearts charm audiences of all ages while navigating their way through a variety of trios, duets, and solo features. Featuring songs such as Bei Mir Bist du Schoen, Straighten Up and Fly Right, and Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy, it’s all with a slice of old-fashioned fun!

la ofrenda (the offering)
Presented by Lexington Children’s Theatre Friday, October 25
There’s no use trying to teach Alex about where he comes from because he doesn’t care. Caring makes him think about losing his parents, which he would rather not do. But with a Día de los Muertos altar, a little thunder, and a lot of magic, a fast-talking skeleton might just give Alex the courage and compassion he needs to connect.
Mister C: Full STEAM Ahead LIVE! Air is Everywhere Friday, May 8
