ABOUT DIGITAL PROGRAMS
The Gallo Center has adopted the use of digital programs meant to be viewed on cell phones or other computer devices. This change has important public health, environmental and economic benefits: reducing close contacts between patrons and ushers, cutting our use of paper, and eliminating substantial printing costs. View the program only before shows begin or during intermissions. Please be considerate of other patrons and artists on stage by not viewing it during performances. Patrons who do not observe this courtesy and create distractions may be asked to leave. Thank you!
WHY YOUR SUPPORT MATTERS
The Gallo Center for the Arts is a non-profit performing arts center with a deep commitment to enriching the people and communities of California’s vast San Joaquin Valley. From the scintillating performances of its wonderful resident companies, to the great variety of world-class entertainment presented by the Center each season, to robust arts education programs for the region’s youth, this is where the magic happens.
From the beginning, the Center’s mission has been clearly defined: to provide an inspirational civic gathering place where regional, national, and international cultural activities illuminate, educate, and entertain. Since revenue from ticket sales and facility rentals only covers a portion of the costs associated with fulfilling this mission, the Center is dependent on the generous annual financial support from donors and program sponsors within our community.

The Gallo Center for the Arts celebrates the diversity of the San Joaquin Valley by offering an array of affordable cultural opportunities designed to appeal, and be accessible, to all.

As a regional non-profit performing arts center, the Gallo Center for the Arts presents internationally recognized touring artists in all disciplines, and also is home to four resident companies: Central West Ballet, Modesto Performing Arts, Modesto Symphony Orchestra and Opera Modesto. The Gallo Center for the Arts is a unique public/private partnership. Construction was funded jointly by the County of Stanislaus, which owns the facility, and contributions from more than 4,000 individuals and businesses given to a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization which today operates the Center.

ABOUT TRACY LAWRENCE:
With 13M albums sold and 18 No.1 singles, Tracy Lawrence has solidified his status as a cornerstone ofCountry music for more than thirty years. Stamping a bold exclamation point on his legacy with his 30 thanniversary album, Hindsight 20/20, the legendary Texas Tornado now enters his excitingly fresh next chapter with his new EP Out Here In It, out now.
Retaining his distinctive traditional flare while firmly planting a contemporary foot on generation now,Lawrence crafts the balance of these new tracks into a six-song definition of who he is today, pulling cutsfrom some of Nashville’s most elite songwriters including Rodney Clawson, Devin Dawson, Jacob Durrett, Trey Lewis, Wyatt McCubbin, Lee Thomas Miller, Ernest Keith Smith and more. While the infectious title track “Out Here In It” and the toe-tapping “Pretty Dang Good” both hold an aura of addictive positivity, the neon lit “I Could Use One” and “Gulf of Mexico” provide slow dancemoments, walk alongside the dancehall ignition of “Honky Tonk Up” and the signature essence of thethrowback style on “A Cowboy Would.”
Lawrence recently wrapped a spring run with Riley Green on his Ain’t My Last Rodeo Tour in addition toselling out his first-ever headlining Ryman Auditorium show in Nashville this past May and a sold-out“Tracy Lawrence and Friends” headlining show at Ascend
Amphitheater during CMA Fest. He will soon join Luke Bryan’s Mind Of A Country Boy Tour at Chicago’s famed Wrigley Field in August and spotlightmain stages across the country at fairs, music halls and amphitheaters.
Even as he continues to release music and tour, the CMA and ACM Award winner’s ambitions have alsoextended to numerous media and charity projects. In recent years, Lawrence has hosted the radio show“Honky Tonkin’ with Tracy Lawrence,” which currently airs in more than 170 markets. His interest inworking with younger artists and being able to explore different topics led to the “TL’s Road House” podcast, which has featured guests such as HARDY, Jelly Roll, Lainey Wilson and more. Lawrence also continues to uphold his commitment to helping those in need across Middle Tennessee and beyond with his Mission: Possible non-profit committed to serving the homeless. From its humblebeginnings cooking Thanksgiving dinners for the Nashville Rescue Mission to frying over 10K turkeys to date, the organization has raised more than $1M for those in need. In recognition of his philanthropic efforts, Lawrence was honored with the 2023 CRS Humanitarian Award.
