“EL REY DEL ACORDEON"—

Accordion King RETURNS! —

SPONSORED BY:

Ramón Ayala is returning to the Gallo Center for the fifth time, joining a select few artists who have made multiple appearances here. And of course he should be coming back!

Ramón Ayala always sells out, always delivers a rousing good time and always gives his diehard fans the concert experience they crave! Since 1971, Ramón Ayala y Sus Bravos Del Norte has virtually defined much of modern norteño music with his distinctive accordion playing and lyrics, winning a lot of Grammy Awards along the way. He's an icon, pure and simple.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 16, 2021, 8 PM TICKETS: $29/39/49/59 SPONSORED BY:

Today, a new generation of listeners might not know Jim Croce, a golden-voiced everyman, a singer-songwriterguitarist who died too soon, leaving one of pop music's most beautiful and memorable ballads (written for his son A.J.) in his wake. Croce Plays Croce pays homage to the legacy of Jim Croce, and features a complete set of his classics performed

by A.J., along with some of his own tunes, plus songs that influenced both father and son. Expect to hear such timeless songs as “Operator," “You Don't Mess Around with Jim," “Workin' At the Car Wash Blues," “Rapid Roy (The Stock Car Boy)," “One Less Set of Footsteps," “Lovers Cross,"

and “Box #10," to name a few.

Viral Sensation BRINGS HIS HUMOR TO THE CENTER!

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 8, 2021, 8 PM TICKETS: $29/49/59

Mime with noise, stand-up with no talking – drama with no acting. International viral sensation Tape Face, the former America’s Got Talent finalist, has to be seen to be believed.

Tape Face is a character created by performer Sam Wills of New Zealand: delightful, wry, many-layered, hilarious and with universal appeal—an appeal transcending age, language borders and culture, drawing on a heritage that includes silent film, mime, magic, puppetry, prop comedy, Motown and the films of Patrick Swayze. Tape Face is a pensive, curious soul approaching every object and audience member as a potential friend – or plaything. Shoes sing, empty dresses dance and electrical tape blossoms into roses; he creates a world of possibilities where the only certainty is laughter.

American Songwriting Genius!

TICKETS: $29/49/59 Songwriters Hall of Fame inductee JD Souther is “one of the most celebrated songwriters of his generation," writes Interview Magazine. “Raised on a steady diet of big band and jazz during his childhood, Souther has routinely returned to that music— as well as the genius songwriters of the early 20th century (Gershwin, Cole Porter)—for inspiration. On his latest studio album, Tenderness, Souther combines these musical threads, striking a perfect balance between understated jazz and the ineffable pop narratives that have been the backbone of much of his greatest work." In addition to his own formidable musical output, Souther has penned countless hits for, among many others, The Eagles and Linda Ronstadt. This charming solo performance will linger in your memory for a very long time.

Mariachi Los Camperos IN A DIA DE LOS MUERTOS-THEMED SHOW!

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 30, 2021, 7 PM TICKETS: $29/39/49/59 SPONSORED BY:

Join us for a special Dia de Los Muertos-themed show by threetime Grammy Award winner Mariachi Los Camperos de Nati Cano! This legendary troupe was founded in 1961 by the late Jose Natividad “Nati" Cano Ruiz. Mr. Cano played a fundamental role in the growth of mariachi music in the United States by training and mentoring new generations of musicians. This mariachi giant was a visionary leader who wanted to take the mariachi performance out of customary locations such as cantinas and into concert halls. That vision was fulfilled, and over its 59year history Mariachi Los Camperos has recorded and performed with artists including Pedro Fernandez, Linda Ronstadt, Pepe Aguilar, Angeles Ochoa, Luis Miguel and many more. The company today is led by musical director Jesus "Chuy" Guzman.

Doo Wop Project DELIVERS

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 21, 2021, 7:30 PM TICKETS: $29/39/49/59 The Doo Wop Project starts at the beginning: tracing the evolution of Doo Wop from the classic sound of five guys singing harmonies on a street corner to the biggest hits on the radio today. In their epic shows The Doo Wop Project takes audiences on a journey featuring foundational tunes from the Crests, Belmonts and Flamingos through the vocal artistry of Smokey Robinson, The Temptations, and The Four Seasons all the way to DooWopified versions of modern hits from Michael Jackson, Jason Mraz, Maroon 5, and Sam Smith.

Featuring stars from the Broadway hits Jersey Boys, Motown: The Musical, and A Bronx Tale, The Doo Wop Project brings unparalleled authenticity of sound and vocal excellence to recreate—and in some cases entirely reimagine—the greatest music in American pop and rock history.

Summer Soirée 2021 SCENE AT THE CENTER:

August 12, 2021, saw the return of the Gallo Center’s always popular Summer Soirée, its first in two years. The event, graciously hosted by Ann and Brian Kline at their Wycliffe home, was an evening of appreciation for members of Center Circles donor group and corporate sponsors. It also was an opportunity for the nearly 200 in attendance to meet the Center’s new chief executive officer, Chad Hilligus, and his husband Mark Powell. Having gone through an emergency appendectomy only a few days before, it was something of a minor miracle that Mr. Hilligus was even upright.

Platinum & Gold TUESDAY, OCTOBER 5, 2021, 7:30 PM TICKETS: $49/69/79/89 PREMIER PARTNER:

It is one of the most storied careers in modern music. Clint Black surged to superstardom as part of the fabled 'Class of '89,' reaching #1 with five consecutive singles from his triple-platinum debut, Killin' Time. He followed that with the triple-platinum Put Yourself in My Shoes, and then a string of platinum and gold albums throughout the '90s. Perhaps most impressively, Clint wrote or co-wrote every one of his more than three dozen chart hits, including "A Better Man," "Where Are You Now," "When My Ship Comes In," "A Good Run of Bad Luck," "Summer's

Comin'," "Like the Rain" and "Nothin' But the Taillights." All are part of a catalog that produced 22 #1 singles and made him one of the most successful singer/songwriters of the modern era.
