The Volusia Pride Pageant crowns the next Volusia Pride representatives at community events throughout Florida. It’s an evening of spirited performances, fantastic costumes, and friendly competition as “would-be royalty” compete to become the next Volusia Pride representatives! This event is sponsored by Support Volusia, who strongly feels that through support, advocacy, and education, they can empower people to imagine and build a better, more equitable community. Support Volusia uses the word ‘crafting’ because, like the artists, their work is very hands-on. Our community is made up of many micro-communities that experience the world from different perspectives, but when brought together, they can build the framework that creates a world that is equitable for all. DeLand Pride began in 2016 as a response to the Pulse tragedy in Orlando, Florida, in June of that year. DeLand Pride started as an online community to help foster social connection among the LGBTQ Community and their allies in and around DeLand, Florida. In 2017, Support Volusia took over management of DeLand Pride and what started as a social group has grown to encompass many programs that help foster and support our amazingly diverse community! This event is 18+

The Athens Theatre invites you to come enjoy Natural Woman–a premier tribute to legendary singer/songwriter Carole King. Backed by a full, all-female band, Professional Orlando-based piano entertainer Katie Pinder Brown plays and sings live the iconic songs that defined a generation. These are all the classic favorites you’ve loved since the ’60s and ’70s, like the groundbreaking “Brill Building” chart-topping pop mega hits conceived in a tiny Times Square cubicle, the timeless tunes you know by heart but possibly never knew Carole created, and of course the masterpieces from the record-shattering phenomenon Tapestry, the emblem of the singer/songwriter era that solidified Carole King’s position as a trailblazing woman to watch. The same music that electrifies the smash Broadway musical Beautiful: The Carole King Musical will invigorate and comfort Natural Woman audiences as if they were guests in the artist’s living room. Experience the thrill of being transported back in time by the authentic raw vocal purity, dynamic soulful piano, and genuine audience connection of a truly polished and emotionally intimate performance. With the power of a musical icon and the relatability of a friend, Katie will bring the warmth and strength of Carole King’s compositions to life and the crowd to their feet, dancing in the aisles and singing and clapping along to treasures like “I Feel the Earth Move,” “It’s Too Late,” “Tapestry,” “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman,” “Will You Love Me Tomorrow,” “You’ve Got a Friend,” “Up on the Roof,” “Jazzman,” “Beautiful,” and more!

This is not a tribute show!  This show is  part of our original singer/songwriter series. The Contenders, a modern troubadour band rooted in a blend of folk, rock, and country, comprise Jay Nash (with 9 albums, 10 EPs, 900 shows, and 400,000 miles under his belt) and Josh Day (drummer for Sara Bareilles, John Oates, Brandi Clark, and Jennifer Nettles). They’ve traversed the US, supported The Milk Carton Kids numerous times, graced the stage at Americana Fest alongside Patti Griffin, and enchanted audiences at MerleFest, where Jens Kruger of the Kruger Brothers joined them onstage. Their journey extends across Europe, with performances in Holland, Germany, and France. The duo has captivated audiences with their EP ‘Meet The Contenders’ and their debut album ‘Laughing with the Reckless’, receiving critical acclaim. Joey Ryan of The Milk Carton Kids shares insights into their latest album, ‘Laughing with the Reckless’: “Laughing with the Reckless, with its infectious rhythms and sublime two-part harmonies, emerges from those moments only possible when people truly ‘come together.’ Jay Nash and Josh Day convey this notion literally, as they have with countless individuals over the years. Their music stems from shared experiences, connecting with others on a deep, human level.” “The album conveys a poignant message: the heartbreak that accompanies unwavering hope and intimate connections. The troubadour lifestyle, marked by sharing music, stories, food, and drink in strangers’ homes, shapes their songwriting. It’s a reality that gives them hope, yet, lately, breaks their hearts.” The Contenders’ music is a testament to the power of connection, encapsulating the joys and sorrows of the human experience.
