SUMMARY:Marty Stuart & His Fabulous Superlatives
DESCRIPTION:Marty Stuart and His Fabulous Superlatives – Country Music Hall of Famer\, five-time Grammy-winner\, and AMA Lifetime Achievement honoree Marty Stuart picks up where he left off on Altitude\, his first new album in five years\, exploring a cosmic country landscape populated by dreamers and drifters\, misfits and angels\, honky-tonk heroes and lonesome lovers. There’s a desert flare to the music here\, a sweeping\, spacious feel that conjures up wide-open horizons and endless stretches of two-lane highway\, and the production is raw and cinematic to match\, tipping its cap both to Bakersfield and Laurel Canyon as it balances jangle and twang in equal measure. While it would be easy for an artist as accomplished as Stuart to rest on his laurels\, Altitude instead showcases the work of a searcher with an insatiable appetite for growth and reflection\, one whose ambition\, much like his keen wit and rich imagination\, only seems to grow with each and every release. \nWebsite

DESCRIPTION:Live Storytelling Performance\nThursday\, June 12\, 2025 at 7:30 p.m. / Lobby doors open at 7 p.m.\nReserved Adult – $34* each Student $15* each (valid student ID shown at lobby box office to purchase)\n*taxes & processing fees included\nOld Gods of Appalachia is an eldritch horror fiction podcast set in an Alternate Appalachia\, a world where these mountains were never meant to be inhabited. This world feels eerily similar to the hills and hollers we’ve grown up with\, but there are some tell-tale differences. Names of towns and counties may be altered. Historical events slide forward or backward in time. And then\, of course\, there are the monsters. Our live show includes a staged storytelling performance similar to an old time radio play\, featuring show creators Steve Shell and Cam Collins\, a rotating cast of professional actors\, and live musical performances. \nWebsite
