An Evening With Sara Evans
May 30th, 2025 @ 8:00 PM| Country Tonite Theatre, Pigeon Forge, TN
Ticket Price $52.00 + tax
Over the last two decades, Evans has carved a successful career anchored by her insightful songwriting and warm, evocative voice. With such enduring hits as “Suds in the Bucket,” “A Real Fine Place to Start,” “Perfect” and “A Little Bit Stronger,” she’s earned recognition as the fifth most played female artist at country radio and continues to be a force on the road with tour dates criss-crossing the country. For her ninth studio album, the Missouri native serves up an eclectic bounty of songs that have shaped her life and storied career.
“I’ve always put cover songs on my records just because I think they are so fun. My fans have been asking for a covers record for years and now just seemed like the right time,” says Evans, who has always been a champion for great songwriting and has covered Gavin DeGraw, Radney Foster and others on previous records. “We first started out thinking we’d really change some of the songs, but then every time we started to record it we were like, ‘That part is so good, let’s just do that!’ We wanted to honor those songwriters and musicians and say, ‘What you did on this record was amazing. Now we’re just going to make it a little more modern.’” These days, Evans is enjoying the creative process more than ever and it’s easy to hear her passion in listening to Copy That. “I’m just having fun. I love being on the road,” says Evans. “We’re working a ton. I’m having so much fun and am just deeply in love with music and performing.”

Evening With Montgomery Gentry – Featuring Eddie Montgomery
June 27th, 2025 @ 8:00 PM| Country Tonite Theatre, Pigeon Forge, TN
Ticket Price $54.00 + tax
Montgomery Gentry – Featuring Eddie Montgomery is having a good time – and it shows.
As one of the most recognizable voices in a generation of country singers, Montgomery continues to tour coast-to-coast behind a time-tested collection of rowdy and heartfelt songs. That collection grows with the new release – Home Run, a six-song EP that includes hard-workin’ stories, fatherly wisdom, brotherly appreciation and a boot-stomping reworking of Montgomery Gentry’s first single “Hillbilly Shoes.”
With five No. 1 country radio hits, a Grand Ole Opry membership and a Kentucky Music Hall of Fame induction under his belt as part of Montgomery Gentry, the man in the hat shows no signs of slowing down. After all, why would anyone walk away from a dream-come-true?
“I’m livin’ life,” Montgomery said. “I’m so happy that I gotta sit on my hands to keep ‘em from wavin’ at everybody.”
Home Run debuted Nov. 1 via Average Joes Entertainment. Ahead of the release, Montgomery unleashed a 25th anniversary edition of “Hillbilly Shoes,” a signature country-rocker originally released as Montgomery Gentry’s first single and the opening track of the duo’s debut album Tattoos & Scars.
The song comes as part of a promise Montgomery and his partner Troy Gentry once made to each other – if one of them ever passed away, the other would carry on the Montgomery Gentry legacy. Sadly, Gentry died in a 2017 helicopter crash.
“I’m keepin’ it going, I’m keepin’ my promise,” Montgomery said. “A day don’t go by I don’t talk about him. A day don’t go by I don’t miss him.”
“I just like real country music,” Montgomery said. “I can’t sing a song I don’t really know about. It’s very, very hard. [A good song], it makes you pour your soul out. It’ll make you feel better. It’ll get you through whatever you’re going through.”
Home Run opens with the working class anthem “Cost Of Being Me,” which features Bryan, a labelmate that Montgomery described as being “cut from the same cloth.” In the down-to-earth chorus, Montgomery sings, “I drink my whiskey from the well/ My souls for loan but ain’t for sale/ I’ve had my daddy pay my bail/ That kind of hell just don’t come cheap/ If I had half of what I lost/ I’d be just a little bit better off/ I’ve paid a lot for being free … Yeah, that’s the cost of being me.” The EP continues with the title track, a song about knowing how to find home when it matters most. Gorley, a fellow native of Danville, Kentucky, co-wrote the song.
And Home Run includes an acoustic rendition of “My Son,” a 2021 song Montgomery co-wrote for the feature film Old Henry. A reflective number that carries the weight of fatherhood, Montgomery sings, “My son, please don’t make mistakes I’ve made/ No don’t chase the things I’ve chased/ Don’t waste your life on the run/ My son, go ahead and spread your wings/ But while you’re reaching for your dreams/ There’s one thing you can’t outrun/ You’ll always be my son.”
Montgomery will take the new songs on the road and he doesn’t plan to slow down any time soon. Why? He’s having too much fun, of course. Or, in his words: “I want to play until the good man upstairs goes, ‘Well, I need ya now”

An Evening With Pam Tillis
July 25, 2025, @ 8:00 PM| Country Tonite Theatre, Pigeon Forge, TN
Ticket Price $54.00 + tax
As the daughter of Country Music Royalty, Pam Tillis was determined from a young age to find her own way in music as a singer and songwriter. After many false starts with her own recording career, including a pop single on Elektra and 1984’s “Above And Beyond The Doll Of Cutey” for Warner Brothers, Tillis came to the attention of Tim Dubois who headed up the Nashville office of Arista records. After much soul searching, Tillis made the commitment to make an honest country record. The album “Put Yourself In My Place” yielded 2 number ones, 2 top five singles, and one top twenty hits and in its first year the album was certified gold. Tillis followed with 3 platinum albums on Arista “Homeward Looking Angel” in 1992, “Sweethearts Dance” in 1994 and an Arista “Greatest Hits” in 1997. Tillis achieved 6 number 1 songs during this time including “Shake the Sugar Tree”, “Mi Vida Loca”, “When You Walk In The Room”, “In Between Dances” “Don’t Tell Me What To Do” and “Maybe It Was Memphis” while 14 of Pam’s other singles landed in the top ten and top twenty.
Co-leaders Jamie Dailey and Darrin Vincent have already had a profound impact on much of the best modern bluegrass via their contributions to such estimable performers as Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver, Ricky Skaggs & Kentucky Thunder, and Rhonda Vincent & The Rage. The decision to join forces was not taken lightly, as they both held comfortable positions within premier bluegrass bands – Dailey as lead and tenor singer for nine years with Lawson, Vincent as harmony vocalist and multi-instrumentalist with Skaggs. “But when I first heard Jamie sing,” Darrin Vincent recalls, “it absolutely brought me out of my seat. I said, ‘That is somebody I need to know.’”
In 2003, the two began talking seriously about becoming a team. “When we got the response we did off of ‘Beautiful Star,’ it was overwhelming,” recalls Jamie. “It just blew my mind. That’s what brought forward the idea that we needed to do our own thing.”
“Their own thing” positively bursts from the speakers from the first notes of their self-titled Rounder debut, Dailey & Vincent, released in January of 2008. The working-man’s laments “Sweet Carrie” and “Poor Boy Workin’ Blues” are vintage-sounding, rapid-fire bluegrass romps. Jamie’s tenor lead vocals on “I Believe” and “Take Me Back and Leave Me There” are high, lonesome bluegrass singing at its purest. Darrin’s upbeat lead vocals on “Don’t You Call My Name,” “Cumberland River,” and “Music of the Mountains” sound steeped in tradition.
The harmonies in “River of Time” and “Place on Calvary” will send shivers up the spine of anyone who loves the classic overtones that only great bluegrass voices can produce. “More than a Name on a Wall” sounds vintage because it is – the song was a 1989 country hit for The Statler Brothers. And as if to remind us that we are in the presence of classic talents, “My Savior Walks with Me Today” and the extraordinary performance of Gillian Welch and David Rawling’s “By the Mark” are performed in traditional, mandolin-guitar, brother-duet fashion. Jamie Dailey and Darrin Vincent have given their lives to bluegrass, to both the traditions and the possibilities that it offers, and now they’ve made the album of their lives. Is it possible to be both classic and brand new? Meet Dailey & Vincent.
