Tickets on Sale Friday, December 8 at Noon

From their start as the house band at the famed Studio One, to playing for tens of thousands of fans at festivals and arenas, Atlanta Rhythm Section earned their place as one of the top acts in country rock. The band rode the wave of success well, producing albums which brought them a string of hits, including "So Into You," "Champagne Jam," "Imaginary Lover," "Doraville," "I'm Not Gonna Let It Bother Me Tonight," "Angel," "Do It Or Die," and "Spooky." With 15 albums of outstanding songwriting and entertaining live performances, Atlanta Rhythm Section embodies all that the phrase "classic rock" implies. The band tours year round bringing a high-energy live show that feels as fresh as it ever did.

Pure Prairie League continues to embellish the rich 43-year history of one of Country-Rock's pioneering forces, featuring founding member/pedal-steel innovator John David Call, veteran bassist Mike Reilly, propulsive drummer Scott Thompson and guitar ace Donnie Clark. Their eponymous first album, "Sad Luke," has been hailed as a major early influence in the emerging popularity of Country-Rock music. Their second effort, the multi-platinum, "Bustin' Out," brought us their classic hit, "Aimee." Their other hits include, "Two Lane Highway," "Let Me Love You Tonight," "Falling In An Out Of Love," and "Early Morning Riser." As crisp and clean as spring water and as comfortable as a well-worn cowboy shirt, Pure Prairie League still brings it all back home. Join us for an evening of countless memorable hits with these Country-Rock pioneers!
