Recording artist Ronnie McDowell will appear on-stage at the Collins Theatre in “An Evening with Ronnie McDowell” Friday, June 5, at 7:00PM. Joining Ronnie will be Amber Hayes, the group Farewell Angelina, and Logan Brill. The show is being presented by Rasberry Production Group and Daniel Stidham Financial. General admission is $20.00 at the door with $15.00 advance tickets available now at The Treasure House in the Paragould Plaza.
Ronnie McDowell burst upon the recording scene in 1977 with his tribute song “The King Is Gone”. Since then, Ronnie has recorded numerous Top 10 hits both as a solo artist and in duets with Conway Twitty and Jerry Lee Lewis. His hits include “Older Women”, “You’re Gonna Ruin My Bad Reputation”, “In A New York Minute”, “It’s Only Make Believe” (with Conway), “You’re Never Too Old To Rock N’ Roll” (with Jerry Lee), and a #1 country video of “Unchained Melody”. Covering the span of country, rock, and soul, Ronnie has become a true star who appeals to audiences wherever he goes. Lookin’ good and sounding great, Ronnie continues to entertain with both intimacy and excitement.
Amber Hayes has developed as an all-around artist influenced by Dolly, Reba, and Barbara Mandrell, delivering not only country music hits but delving into stage, movie and television. Her touring in “Conway Twitty: The Man, The Music, The Legend…The Musical” gave Amber both exposure and time to reflect and begin writing her own music. Her 2010 debut album “C’mon” landed her two Top 40 hits and her talents as a performer and writer were useful in the motion picture “Cowboys N’ Angels”. Her music was showcased on the CW Network series “Hart of Dixie”. Her latest single “Any Day Is A Good Day” reflects her philosophy as a singer, songwriter, and artist. “I like to think of it as a reminder that each day is a gift and not to take it for granted.”
Farewell Angelina is an all female country quartet in the tradition of the Dixie Chicks, Little Big Town, with a touch of the Eagles. Formed in 2014, the group includes 2011 International Bluegrass Music Association Award winner and Dove Award nominee Nicole Witt, accomplished violinist Andrea Young known for her ‘Zeppelin’-type chops, Elizabeth Elkins, winner of the Grand Prize of the John Lennon Songwriting Contest and who brings a rock edge to the group with her vocals and guitar, and vocalist Lisa Torres who brings her enormous talents and completes the harmony that is Farewell Angelina.
Logan Brill is a up-and-coming young artist who has been touring since 2012. She has already released two albums, “Shuteye” in 2011 and her latest “Walking Wires”. Logan’s music reflects country, blues and ballads that have evolved from her personal experiences and growth through her music her entire life. Her optimism is expressed in her song “The World’s Still Round”: “Until a spark catches you’ve got to keep on striking matches until you find the one that burns.”. Logan has a whole matchbook of talent.
