The Cedartown Performing Arts Center would like to take you for a walk with through timeless music with their Decades Project.
Start the tour in the 30s and 40s with the American Big Band Era where 20 singers, dancers and musicians bring the Big Band story to life. Next, jump to the 60’s for a little Motown and Rock ‘n Roll. Forever Motown features a cast of veteran entertainers in the music industry and their fabulous Night of Rock is a night you don’t want to miss. You can rock all night with Poco, Pure Prairie League and Firefall.
Wrapping up the 60’s is Herman’s Hermits own Peter Noone. Welcome the 70’s with two Country Hall of Famers: Roy Clark and Crystal Gayle. This walk through the decades ends with two modern day superstars; Sandi Patty, from the Gospel Music Hall of Fame and John Berry, a local favorite for his classic Christmas performance.
New this year is the 1st annual “Cedartown Bluegrass Jam Fundraiser.” There will be bluegrass musicians on stage for the daylong event that will include: Bent Creek, Russell Moore with IIIrd Tyme Out, Crossties, Homegrown and topping off the event will be the legendary Ricky Skaggs. There will also be concessions for sale, arts & craft displays, and fun things for the kids to do.
The event will be held Saturday, October 24th 2009, starting at 1pm. All proceeds will benefit the Cedartown Performing Arts Center, a non-profit 501(c) (3) organization. The auditorium has always been applauded for offering such a wide variety of programming, this year is no exception.
