Country music legend, Willie Nelson and 27-time-winning Grammy sensation Alison Krauss are headed to Greenville on Friday, August 16! The iconic pair is sure to blow you away with their musical talent.
Willie Nelson is one of the most successful country music singer-songwriters in history, releasing 68 studio albums and 10 live albums. In 1973, he signed to Atlantic Records and put out Shotgun Willie, which veered into outlaw country, a stark contrast from the mainstream Nashville sound and clean-cut country artists of the era. Alison Krauss is largely responsible for keeping bluegrass music alive and well in the U.S., and she’s got the awards to prove it. Krauss is a nationwide favorite in concert and has been performing onstage since the early 90s and selling out tours across North America since the early 2000s.

Winner of six 2017 Tony Awards® including Best Musical and the 2018 Grammy® Award for Best Musical Theater Album!
A letter that was never meant to be seen, a lie that was never meant to be told, a life he never dreamed he could have. 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 chord with audiences and critics everywhere, including The Washington Post who says Dear Evan Hansen is “one of the most remarkable shows in musical theatre history.” The New York Times calls it “a gut-punching, breathtaking knockout of a musical.” And NBC Nightly News declares the musical “an anthem resonating on Broadway and beyond.”
The Original Broadway Cast Recording of Dear Evan Hansen, produced by Atlantic Records, made an extraordinary debut at No. 8 on the Billboard 200 – the highest charting debut position for an original cast album since 1961 – and went on to win the 2018 Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album. A special edition coffee table book authored by Levenson, Pasek, and Paul, Dear Evan Hansen: through the window (Grand Central Publishing / Melcher) is now available, offering an in-depth, all-access look at the musical, including never-before-seen production photos and cast portraits, behind-the-scenes stories, and a fully annotated script by the authors.
Dear Evan Hansen features a book by Tony Award winner Steven Levenson, a score by Grammy, Tony, and Academy Award® winners Benj Pasek and Justin Paul (La La Land, The Greatest Showman), and direction by four-time Tony Award nominee Michael Greif (Rent, Next to Normal).
See the film that inspired it all! After debuting at the Cannes Film Festival in 2007, The Band’s Visit (Bikur Ha-Tizmoret) won eight Ophir awards – the Israeli equivalent of the Oscars® – and was named by Roger Ebert as one of his favorite films of 2008.
After two weeks of intense training in acting, singing, and dancing, Peace Studio: Broadway students take the stage to perform selections from the best of Broadway, past and present. See these rising stars shine in this showcase performance that is free and open to the public.
The Conversation - inspired by jazz fusion from the 1970s onward, along with R&B, soul, and modern contemporary jazz - is a melting pot of sounds and tones that make for a distinctly entertaining evening.

For only $20, experience the best LOCAL music acts LIVE in Genevieve's for an intimate listening room experience. Drinks will be available for purchase.
Brother Oliver is a Greenville-based musical project formed by two brothers, Andrew and Stephen Oliver. The brothers deliver high-energy performances through the lens of a folk-rock and psych-rock aesthetic – a genre they've officially coined as "psychedelic folk-rock."
The band’s explorative approach to music has gained recognition in the Southeast and abroad. This past March, they opened for Steve Miller Band at the Peace Center, and they have been featured on bills alongside Father John Misty, Drake Bell, Old Sea Brigade, Matthew Logan Vasquez, and SUSTO. Their self-titled, full-length album has been regarded as highly innovative in the world of folk-rock music – gaining the attention of Huffington Post, PBS, PopMatters, and AXS.
There’s nothing like a Chris Botti concert. He’s the complete package: a dazzling trumpeter at home in everything from jazz to pop to rock, a brilliant bandleader who lets his players shine, and a born showman whose joy at being onstage is infectious.
For over two decades, Grammy® Award-winning master trumpeter and composer Botti has amassed a spectacular variety of honors, including multiple gold and platinum albums, to become the nation’s largest-selling instrumental artist. His mesmerizing performances with a stunning array of legends such as Sting, Barbra Streisand, Tony Bennett, Yo-Yo Ma, Frank Sinatra, Paul Simon, and Andrea Bocelli have cemented his place as one of the most brilliant and inspiring forces of the contemporary music scene.
Guitarist and singer-songwriter Marcus King is a Blue Ridge Mountain boy, born and raised in Greenville, South Carolina. At only 22 years of age, this fourth-generation musician has been writing songs and performing on stage for half his lifetime, delivering a southern fried brand of blues and psychedelia inspired by rock n’ roll.
King doesn’t strive for authenticity, he never had to—it’s busting out of his DNA in every note he plays and every word he sings. This focused, firmly rooted artist isn’t just perpetuating the proud legacy of American rock and soul music; with the musically enthralling, deeply personal new album Carolina Confessions, he and his great band are adding their own eloquent chapter to that rich narrative.
All the members of King’s band – drummer Jack Ryan, bass player Stephen Campbell, trumpeter/trombonist Justin Johnson, sax player Dean Mitchell, and keyboard player DeShawn “D-Vibes” Alexander – create a blistering, yet soulful unit that has honed their synergy through endless touring.

The great ones endure, and Gladys Knight – known as the “Empress of Soul” – has long been one of the greatest. Very few singers over the last 50 years have matched her unassailable artistry. This seven-time Grammy® winner has enjoyed #1 hits in pop, gospel, R&B, and adult contemporary, and has triumphed in film, television, and live performance.
Gladys Knight & The Pips debuted their first album in 1960, when Knight was just 16. With Knight singing lead and The Pips providing lush harmonies and graceful choreography, the group went on to achieve icon status. Top 20 hits, like “Every Beat of My Heart,” “Letter Full of Tears,” “I Heard it Through the Grapevine,” and “If I Were Your Woman,” set the stage for an amazing run. Top 10 gold-certified singles like “Neither One of Us (Wants to be the First to Say Goodbye),” “I’ve Got to Use My Imagination,” “Best Thing to Ever Happen to Me,” and the #1 smash “Midnight Train to Georgia” established Gladys Knight & The Pips as the premiere pop/R&B vocal ensemble in the world.
In 1995, Knight earned her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and the next year, Gladys Knight & The Pips were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In 1998, she and The Pips were presented with the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Rhythm & Blues Hall of Fame. In 2004, Knight received the Lifetime Achievement Award at the annual BET Awards ceremony.
In 2014, Knight released the inspirational album Where My Heart Belongs, which won an NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Gospel Album. Fall of 2015 marked the release of her first mainstream dance single – “Just A Little” – in nearly 20 years. No stranger to performing, she appeared in season 14 of Dancing with the Stars and made the finale of 2019’s hit The Masked Singer.
Four-time Grammy® Award winner Jason Isbell and The 400 Unit are touring in support of their album The Nashville Sound (winner of Grammys for Best Americana and Best American Roots Song for “If We Were Vampires”).
Isbell has become one the most respected songwriters of his generation, with a penchant for articulating some of the deepest human emotions and creating poignant narratives inspired by the working class. He was recently featured in Rolling Stone Magazine’s “The New Classics” and The New York Times Magazine’s “25 Songs That Tell Us Where Music Is Going," and appeared on the acclaimed AXS TV program Off Camera with Sam Jones. He also wrote the song “Maybe It’s Time” from the 2018 hit movie A Star Is Born.

“Gutsy, gritty bluegrass songs.” - The Tennessean
“You can call it power-bluegrass or country soul, but whatever you call it, Nashville’s SteelDrivers have bushels of it.” - The Philadelphia Inquirer
The SteelDrivers are a Grammy® Award-winning band from Nashville, TN, braiding bluegrass roots with new threads of country, soul, and other contemporary influences to create an unapologetic hybrid that is old as the hills but fresh as the morning dew. “Blue Side of the Mountain,” from their self-titled debut album garnered their first Grammy nomination in the Best Country Performance category. Their sophomore album, Reckless, received two nominations, one for Best Bluegrass Album and another for Best Country Performance for “Where Rainbows Never Die.” The band’s third album, Hammer Down, subsequently climbed all the way up to number one on the Billboard Bluegrass charts. The highly-acclaimed fourth album, The Muscle Shoals Recording, garnered the group that long elusive Grammy win for Best Bluegrass Album. The SteelDrivers’ brand of bluegrass – intense, dark, poetic, and inescapably human – is a refreshing reminder of the timeless power of string band music.

Ella cannot say no. As a baby, she received a magical ‘gift’ from her fairy godmother that forces her to obey everyone – all the time. This gift, which Ella keeps secret from those around her, ultimately becomes a dangerous vulnerability.
As she grows, Ella tires of the inability to follow her own will and sets out on a quest to rid herself of this ‘gift’. Along the way, her bravery, intelligence and selflessness helps her realize that she alone has the power to set herself free.
This story of strength and perseverance in the face of seemingly insurmountable obstacles is a fun, warm and empowering journey that will encourage children of all ages to find – and use – their voice.
Grammy®-winning duo Amy Ray and Emily Saliers are Indigo Girls.
The power of unity has been an Indigo Girls calling card ever since they burst into the spotlight with their 1989 self-titled breakout album. Since then, the band has recorded 14 studio albums, racked up a slew of gold and platinum certifications, and spent decades touring. Their catalog contains contemporary classic songs like “Galileo,” “Closer To Fine,” “Get out the Map,” and “Least Complicated.” They are the only duo with Top 40 titles on the Billboard 200 in the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, and 2010s.
NPR’s Mountain Stage called the group “one of the finest folk duos of all time.” Rolling Stone said they are “ideal duet partners. Their voices soar and swoop as one, alternately raucous and soothing. When they sing together, they radiate a sense of shared purpose that adds muscle to their lanky, deeply-felt folk-tinged pop songs.” The New York Timesraved that “gleeful profanities, righteous protest anthems, and impeccable folk songwriting have carried this duo for thirty years.”
The band’s stunning new album, Indigo Girls Live with The University of Colorado Symphony Orchestra, features richly cinematic, larger-than-life arrangements of their songs, performed by a 64-piece orchestra.

Few events in the last decade of space exploration have captured the world’s imagination like NASA’s Mars Exploration Program. The successful deployment of the Mars Exploration Rovers Spirit and Opportunity in 2004 launched a new era of scientific investigation of our nearest planetary neighbor, and marked a personal triumph for Kobie Boykins: he helped design and build the solar arrays that enabled the rovers to keep going long after their planned 90-day life.
As supervisor of the mobility and remote sensing teams for the Mars rover Curiosity, Boykins monitored the headline-making studies of the rover, including evidence that conditions on Mars could once have supported life. In 2013, Boykins received a NASA Exceptional Service Medal, one of the highest honors given to NASA employees and contractors.
Boykins will give students an inside look at what Curiosity and other Mars rovers have discovered on the red planet, as well as what’s ahead for the future of Mars exploration. His boundless enthusiasm for unraveling the mysteries of outer space, and Mars in particular, is infectious.

Since 2013, Hughes Investments has provided $80,000 in funds to 24 local communities as part of the ELEVATE UPSTATE Community Vibrancy Grant program. The purpose of the ELEVATE UPSTATE Grants is to identify and provide initial funding support for community-based programs that promote community and economic vibrancy in local areas across the Upstate.
Last year’s winners were Ninety Six Movie Night at the Park and the First Annual Charles Townes Art & Technology Experiment. Past winners include public art projects, interactive outdoor education, downtown music, a food truck plaza, and more. The key element is that the proposed initiative will increase community vibrancy and sense of place and benefit the community as a whole.
The 2019 grant period opened on June 1st with an initial interest form due by August 1st and the completed applications due by September 16th. This workshop will guide applicants through the process, with panelists to include past winners.
You’ll hear from Mary Anne Goodman from the Ninety Six Mill Village Association, who successfully applied for a grant to fund a community movie night. You’ll also hear from Coie Switzer and Curtiss Hunter from the Union Environmental Art and Music Festival, who were runners up and received a matching grant—and how they got the support they needed to launch their event a year ahead of schedule.
Thanks to Hughes Investments for their generous support of these community vibrancy initiatives throughout the Upstate!
