Donald Davis, one of America’s favorite master storytellers, is coming to the Jackson Theatre on April 13 and 14 at 7:30 p.m. The two-night concert will feature Davis telling different stories each evening.   Enjoy two nights of stories from Donald Davis with general admission each evening being $16. A special group rate for 15 or more people is available for $13 per person.   Davis was born in a Southern Appalachian Mountain world that was rich in stories. “I didn’t learn stories, I just absorbed them,” Davis says as he recounts tales learned from a family of traditional storytellers who lived on the same Western North Carolina land since 1781.   Davis’ resume boasts numerous experiences including Davidson College, Duke University Divinity School, a retired Methodist minister and former chairperson of the board of Directors for the National Storytelling Association. He is a favorite at the National Storytelling Festival and has also served as a featured teller at the Smithsonian Institute, the World’s Fair as well as festivals and concerts throughout the United States and the world.   For Donald Davis, storytelling is a way of giving and living life. He invites each listener to come along, pull deep inside for one’s own stories and personally share the common experiences that celebrate the creative spirit. For Donald Davis, storytelling “is not what I do for a living, but it is how I do all that I do while I am living.”    For tickets or more information, call 423.788.4909 or visit thejacksontheatre.com for tickets.

Vernon Dalhart: First Country Music Star Comes to The Jackson Theatre April 17 The Jackson Theatre will present Vernon Dalhart: First Country Music Star on Friday, April 17 at 7:00pm, in partnership with the International Storytelling Center. This special evening of words and music celebrates one of the most influential recording artists of the 1920s and 1930s. Vernon Dalhart was the first artist to record a million-selling country hit with the two-sided 78 RPM disc featuring “The Wreck of the Old ’97” and “The Prisoner’s Song.” Both recordings are enshrined in the Grammy Hall of Fame, and Dalhart was later inducted into both the Country Music Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame. A prolific artist by any standard, he made more than 4,000 recordings between 1916 and 1939. Despite his massive impact, Dalhart’s legacy has often been overlooked. Many legendary performers, including Dolly Parton, Marty Robbins, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Doc Watson, Bill Monroe, and Mac Wiseman, have covered songs first recorded by Dalhart, helping to carry his influence through generations of American music. Drawing on five years of research, music historian Dr. Ted Olson will share the story of Dalhart’s diverse career and explore why his contributions have faded from the spotlight. Jack Hinshelwood, a multi-instrumentalist and singer, will provide the live soundtrack, performing faithful renditions of classics such as “Wreck of the Old ’97,” “The Prisoner’s Song,” “Home on the Range,” “Jesse James,” “The Big Rock Candy Mountains,” “My Blue Ridge Mountain Home,” and more songs that helped shape early country music. This event is part of the Jackson Theatre’s ongoing collaboration with the International Storytelling Center, highlighting shared programming rooted in storytelling and music. Tickets are $15 in advance and $20 day of show. Tickets and more information are available at thejacksontheatre.com.
