2. An Evening with Dennis Quaid

Dennis Quaid is an American icon and treasure. Alongside his globally beloved acting career, Quaid is a respected singer-songwriter with hundreds of thousands of miles under his belt as a recording and touring musician who’s been playing music since his grandfather bought him his first guitar. A riveting performer, Quaid captivates audiences with engaging stories about his illustrious film career and stories behind the highly personal songs that populate his multi-week No. 1 inspirational album, Fallen: A Gospel Record for Sinners, released in 2023, via Gaither Music Group. Combining soul-stirring renditions of original songs and covers from his movies that defined cinema, Quaid delivers an honest, inspiring performance. Fallen follows Quaid’s 2018 album, Out of the Box, described by Quaid as a junkyard of American music. Though he loves writing, recording and making movies, music holds a special place in the Texas native’s heart, and for the last four decades, he has toured extensively, displaying equal ease on the piano and acoustic guitar. Quaid enchants audiences with a set list that ranges from songs such as those included on Fallen to rock ‘n’ roll standards like “Great Balls of Fire!,” an homage as “the Killer,” who he portrayed in the 1989 box office smash.
