Description

Join us for Country Roads: A Tribute To the Legends of Country Music, featuring the talents of Brady Seals, Richard Jacques, and Michelle Murray.

 

Whether you’re a lifelong country fan or new to the genre, you’ll enjoy this new show which honors the contributions of legendary artists such as Merle Haggard, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson, Loretta Lynn, Dolly Parton, and many others.

 

Inducted into the Ohio Country Music Hall of Fame last month, Seals was a founding member of the highly-acclaimed country band Little Texas. After leaving the group in 1994, he released three solo albums, charting in the Top 40 country charts with “Another You, Another Me.” In 2002, Seals formed the successful quartet Hot Apple Pie. He has since reached new heights as a solo artist and as a member of Seals & Crofts II. 

 

No stranger to playing sold out shows at the Franklin Theatre, Jacques has been a headliner at many of Nashville’s top venues since moving to Music City in 2021. He’s currently the lead singer and producer for the Twilight Train: Nashville's Ultimate Neil Diamond Tribute. Rich has performed throughout the world on stages large and small, including leading roles in theater productions of "Grease" (Danny Zuko), and "The 1940's Radio Hour" (Johnny Cantone) while living in New York. Originally from Maryland, the versatile singer/songwriter is a former U.S. Marine and a graduate of Texas Tech University. In May, Rich released two original country songs, “Sweet Renee” and "Without You," both recorded in Nashville.

 

Born and raised in Chicago, Michelle’s music career has taken her across the country as an opener for Craig Morgan, Aaron Tippin, Jason Aldean, Montgomery Gentry, Steve Cropper, Tracy Byrd, and Little Big Town. In 2004, Michelle settled in Franklin where she worked as a recording and touring artist. As spokesperson for Sam Schmidt and a prominent IndyCar racing team, she toured the U.S. for ten years and filmed the documentary, "My Finish Line.” Her song "Trip Around the Sun" went to No. 1 on the independent charts in 2014.

 

The trio — backed by a talented group consisting of some of Music City’s most accomplished musicians including Gary Talley, Ron Krasinski, Mike Stewart, and David Santos — promises to bring the hits of some of country music’s greatest icons to life.
