Gene Watson

One of the most masterful voices in Country Music today, GENE WATSON still sings in the same key as 30 years ago and continues to prove why he is rightly referred to as “The Singer’s Singer”. His powerful voice and multi-octave range allows him to sing some of the most challenging songs with an ease that comes from pure, natural talent as well as from his many years performing onstage. “Every time I step out on that stage and see that audience, it’s a new beginning. Even though I’ve sung these songs millions of times, I look at each one like it’s brand new to me. Every night, I try to deliver that song the best that I can. “Being called a ‘Singer’s Singer’ humbles me.

After a few years of touring colleges in the south, John McElrath took the group to Arthur Smith's Studio in Charlotte North Carolina, to record "Double Shot (of My Baby's Love)". The song became a million seller in 1966, they followed up with. "She Drives Me Out Of My Mind" & "Hey, Hey, Baby" which were top 40 hits as well. "Double Shot" remains the signature song of the Swingin' Medallions. Although the the members changed over the years, the band has always included around eight members with at least a four piece horn section. The high energy party style stage performance of the first Medallions has been passed down to the band that performs today.

An Evening with Steve Miller Band

Miller
Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Steve Miller was a mainstay of the San Francisco music scene that upended American culture in the late '60s. With albums like Children of the FutureSailor, and Brave New World, Miller perfected a psychedelic blues sound that drew on the deepest sources of American roots music and simultaneously articulated a compelling vision of what music and society could be in the years to come.

In the '70s, Miller crafted a brand of rock 'n' roll music that was polished, exciting, and irresistible. Hit followed hit in an endless flow: "The Joker," "Livin' in the USA," "Take the Money and Run," "Rock'n Me," "Fly Like an Eagle," "Jet Airliner," "Jungle Love," and "Abracadabra" among them. To this day, these songs are instantly recognizable when they come on the radio-and are impossible not to sing along with.

X – Celebrating 10 Years of Dance

dtg-660.jpg
"X"

The tendency to make things whole.

5,6,7,8,9,10. Completeness in mathematics, ten implies the end and the beginning of sequence; ten can be a sense of whole by wrapping itself in power and force, in achieving and creating. Found in nature on ten fingers and ten toes, in games of children and adults, in the divine. Ten embodies a complete experience of the development of the first cycle of nine.

DTG’s Performance Company newest full-length production, “X,” is a collaboration of contemporary works from resident and guest choreographers inspired by the number ten. Each choreographic work presented draws upon their own feeling of completeness, achievement and coming full circle. From a playful game to the biblical descension of the Holy Spirit, “X” will captivate the audience, leaving them with a rewarding, enriching and truly unique artistic experience.
