Stuart, Smith bring country to Franklin
Country music stars Marty Stuart and Connie Smith will perform at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 29, at the Smoky Mountain Center for the Performing Arts in Franklin.
The gospel-singing, bluegrass-playing, "Hillbilly Rock" making superstar, Stuart, is a four-time Grammy winner and a platinum recording artist. Widely recognized as one of the most important roots musicians in America, he possesses a showman's zest for every conceivable flavor of country music. Hits include "Tempted" and "This One's Gonna Hurt You.”
Smith has been influencing country music's top artists for decades with her fervent joy in singing and her love for the emotional and physical act of letting loose a great song, all of which is as evident on her recordings as it is in front of audiences at the Grand Ole Opry, on RFD TV's weekly The Marty Stuart Show, or on the road. In 2012, she received the field's highest honor, induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame.
Tickets start at $32.
