Theatrical Performance

Join us at the Jackson Theatre on Sunday, October 11th at 4pm for Eugene Wolf's "Book of Mamaw".

The Book of Mamaw is a deeply personal, music-filled journey through the heart of Appalachia. When two-year-old Eugene wins a talent contest singing My Shoes Keep Walking Back to You, his beloved grandmother, Mamaw, knows he is destined for something special.

Raised in Greeneville, Tennessee after his father abandons the family, Eugene grows up in a world of Church of Christ hymns, Grand Ole Opry dreams, Kays Ice Cream shifts, and Avon sales calls where Mamaw proudly has him perform for her customers. From Connie Francis and Loretta Lynn to The Beatles and Barbra Streisand, Eugene discovers that music can fill the emptiness left by loss and become a bridge to hope.

Filled with humor, heart, and extraordinary performances spanning bluegrass, gospel, country, and pop, Eugene Wolf celebrates the woman who gave him everything and explores how her fierce, complicated love shaped the man and artist he would become.

"As both performer and playwright of The Book of Mamaw, Eugene Wolf succeeds at both in such a way that the presentation felt like a gift... Wolf has not learned these hymns in a workshop or seminar. He has lived these hymns."

Alison Brown Brings Her Groundbreaking Banjo Sound to The Jackson Theatre October 16

JONESBOROUGH, TN — GRAMMY Award-winning musician Alison Brown will perform at The Jackson Theatre on Friday, October 16, at 7pm.

Known as one of roots music’s most innovative banjo players, Brown has expanded the possibilities of the instrument by blending bluegrass with jazz, folk, pop, classical and Latin influences. Billboard praised her playing as having “a unique sonic signature and an inescapable beauty,” while USA Today called her a “true ground-breaker” who is opening new possibilities for the banjo.

Brown began her musical career as a teenager in Southern California’s bluegrass scene before earning a degree from Harvard University and an MBA from UCLA. After working as an investment banker, she left the financial world to pursue music full time and has since built a career as a GRAMMY-winning musician, GRAMMY-nominated producer and co-founder of Compass Records Group.

Her work has received national recognition from NPR, CBS Sunday Morning, The Wall Street Journal, The New Yorker and other major outlets. She has also appeared on programs including The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel Live and The View.

Brown recently collaborated with fellow GRAMMY Award-winning banjoist Steve Martin on the album Safe, Sensible and Sane. The project features guest appearances from Jackson Browne, Vince Gill, the Indigo Girls, Tim O’Brien, Jason Mraz, Della Mae and others.

Audiences can hear Alison Brown live at The Jackson Theatre, located at 121 W. Main Street in downtown Jonesborough, on October 16 at 7pm.

Silents Synced pairs classic silent movies with epic rock music soundtracks. This presentation of Nosferatu (1922) features Radiohead’s Kid A and Amnesiac albums.

An unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Nosferatu (1922) is the quintessential silent vampire film, crafted by legendary German director F. W. Murnau. Rather than depicting Dracula as a shape-shifting monster or debonair gentleman, Murnau’s Graf Orlok (as portrayed by Max Schreck) is a nightmarish, spidery creature of bulbous head and taloned claws — perhaps the most genuinely disturbing incarnation of vampirism yet envisioned.

About the filmmaker:

W. Murnau was an influential German expressionist director, producer and screenwriter who crafted a total of 21 films, only 12 of which survived in their entirety. A master of light and shadow, Murnau experimented with new filming techniques, negative exposure, stop-motion, and low angle camera positions. His adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Nosferatu (1922), is considered a masterpiece of German Expressionist cinema.

Join us at the Jackson Theatre as we present John McEuen in concert on Saturday, October 24th at 7pm.

John McEuen, as a Southern California Orange County high school student, thought his teenage dream job in Disneyland’s Magic Shop (at 16 years old) was “as good as it gets”. He and lifelong high-school friend both got that 1963 job (magic shop co-worker, Steve Martin) the same day. At 18, music came along. After seeing Missouri bluegrass group The Dillards, John headed towards his new dream: make magic with music, and get on the radio. Leaving Garden Grove for Hollywood, dream became a reality more than he imagined it could be!

Continually performing since 1964, he joined Les Thompson in 1966 as they put together the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, a relationship that would last over 55 years – over 11,000 concerts, 300 television shows, 10,000 interviews. For this ‘family reunion’ show he is also bringing GREAT picker Byron McDowell from North Carolina, with his magical voice and hot instruments – mandolin, guitar, and fiddle.

In 1971, John initiated the landmark Will the Circle be Unbroken* album by asking musical mentors Earl Scruggs and Doc Watson to record with NGDB; then, his brother Bill (manager, record producer) invited Merle Travis. It grew, with Earl’s help, to inviting Mother Maybelle Carter, Jimmy Martin, Roy Acuff, ‘Bashful’ Brother Oswald, Vassar Clements, and Norman Blake to a Nashville studio, hooking them up with Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, for 5 magic hot August days of recording. (John is featured in episode 6 of Ken Burns - Country Music). The now multi-platinum “Circle” is honored both by Library of Congress and the Grammy Hall of Fame.                  * “One of the most important records to come out of Nashville...” Chet Flippo, Rolling Stone

In 2010, Folk Alliance Organization presented McEuen the Best in the West Award solo performer; his rich history preserving original and traditional folk music earned the 2013 Charlie Poole Lifetime Achievement Award.

NGDB was inducted in to Colorado Music Hall of Fame 2015. In addition to John’s numerous solo accolades, Multi-instrumentalist McEuen (banjo, guitar, mandolin, fiddle, dobro, piano, dulcimer), recognized as a founding member and outstanding performer, departed the end of the 50th year anniversary tour Oct. 22, 2017. He covers it all in his highly praised book The Life I’ve Picked on Chicago Review Press, published April, 2018.

McEuen has made over 46 albums (7 solo) that have earned CMA and ACM awards, an Emmy film score nomination, IBMA record of the year, five platinum and six gold records, multiple Grammy Awards and nominations, and performed on another 25 albums as guest artist. John’s production of Steve Martin – The Crow for his first all music record won the 2010 Best Bluegrass Album Grammy.

 

The Music of the Wild West CD- produced by McEuen - was honored with the Western Heritage Award.

Other accolades include: Grammy nomination for String Wizards II; the Uncle Dave Macon Award (for excellence in preservation and performance of historic music); 2009 he was inducted in to the Traditional Country Music Hall of Honor. John has produced award-winning projects for several other artists.

Made in Brooklyn. - (Stereophile Magazine's Record of the Month; winner: Independent Music Award’s Best Americana album in 2018), produced by John and David Chesky, earned rave reviews.

John was inducted in 2017 to the American Banjo Museum Hall of Fame

John’s first book, The Life I’ve Picked on Chicago Review Press has over 100 5-star rave reviews on Amazon.

The popular Sirius/XM John McEuen’s Acoustic Traveller, ran for 20 years on The Village channel.

Multi-instrumental musician, performer, Radio Host, author, television show producer, concert promoter, and magician, John McEuen continues to explore the music world. “I am grateful people continue to support what I do, as it excites me to continue making things for them. I feel like some of my best projects are ahead. Out this summer on Compass Records: The NEWSMAN ! So many stories. so many songs, so many notes, so little time!”
