Description
The Morris Museum of Art today announced the 2011-2012 lineup for its popular Budweiser True Music Southern Soul & Song concert series. It includes six concerts, scheduled monthly from September 2011 though February 2012.
This is one of the things we most enjoy doing at the Morris, said Kevin Grogan, producer of Southern Soul & Song and director of the Morris Museum of Art. Bringing great Southern music and great Southern musicians to Augusta and introducing a local audience to another aspect of our common cultural heritage is completely consistent with the mission of the Morris.
The 2011-2012 lineup includes the following bands:
Friday, September 16, 2011
Marty Stuart and his Fabulous Superlatives. Grammy award-winning, multi-instrumentalist Marty Stuart, one of country music's most accomplished and eclectic performers, is renowned for merging rockabilly, honky-tonk and traditional country styles.
Friday, October 14, 2011
Pam Tillis. Singer/songwriter/actress (and daughter of country star Mel Tillis), Pam Tillis is known for the hits she's written for others, as well as those—like All the Good Ones Are Gone—she's reserved for herself. She made her debut on the Grand Ole Opry at age 8 and has been a member of the Opry since 2002. This is her first appearance on Southern Soul and Song.
