Evan Hansen is about to get the one thing he’s always wanted: a chance to finally fit in. DEAR EVAN HANSEN is the deeply personal and profoundly contemporary musical about life and the way we live it.

 

DEAR EVAN HANSEN has struck a remarkable chord with audiences and critics everywhere, including The Washington Post who says DEAR EVAN HANSEN is “Theatrical magic. One of the most remarkable shows in musical theatre history.” The New York Times calls it “a breathtaking knockout of a musical.” And NBC Nightly News declares the musical “an anthem resonating on Broadway and beyond.”

They have twice been named IBMA Instrumental Group of the Year and earned numerous other IBMA noms including Male Vocalist of the Year, Mandolin Player of the Year, and in 2013, received Banjo Player of the Year. Their massive sound and show-stealing performances command the most prestigious stages in the country and abroad; from The Grand Ole Opry to the biggest international festivals across Europe, South America and Australia. The band has performed at the biggest bluegrass festivals, including Telluride, MerleFest, Grey Fox, RockyGrass, Delfest, Strawberry Music Festival, Pickin’ in the Pines, ROMP, and countless more.

Ryan Adams
Oct 15 @ 7:00 pm
Thomas Wolfe Auditorium

Singer-songwriter Ryan Adams has announced a new series of eight concerts going on sale. This leg of his tour follows a very successful five-venue East Coast kickoff that included a sold out Carnegie Hall premiere as well as two other sold out shows.

The new series of concerts will kickoff October 14 in Atlanta at Tabernacle, move to Thomas Wolfe Auditorium in Ashville, N.C. the 15th, The Louisville (KY) Palace the16th, the 17th at The Factory in St. Louis, The Riverside Theater in Milwaukee the 19th, The Legendary Chicago Theater the 20th, The State Theater in Minneapolis the 21st, and ending at the Stephens Auditorium in Ames, Iowa, October 22, 2022.

The concerts will feature Adams and his guitar and keyboard in an acoustic tour-de-force. During the East-Coast run he performed a stunning 168 songs over five nights in shows that averaged two hours and forty minutes.

“The word of mouth from the first leg of the tour was so good that promoters came to us,” explained Adams’ Manager, Richard Jones. “Ryan hasn’t toured since 2019 and there seems to be a voracious appetite to see him perform live.” The tour was conceived and orchestrated by Jones and Mike Hayes, Adams’ agent at ICM.

In addition to his touring prep, Adams has released two albums so far this year, Chris, a tribute to his late brother and Romeo & Juliet. Music legend Don Was recorded his Carnegie Hall concert in May for release later this year.
