The 91��Ƭ�� Artist Series 2019-20 season promises an exciting line-up of great entertainment for all ages, with season tickets available Aug. 12. The series opens Thursday, Sept. 19 with The Hunts, a Chesapeake, Virginia-based band of seven siblings who’ve been playing harmony-laced folk music together almost their entire lives. Twin sisters Jessi and Jenni and five brothers Josh, Jonathan, Jordan, Justin, and Jamison, ages 19 to 28, learned to sing and play violin as youngsters and spent much of their childhood performing in their community. After widening their following playing at theaters, festivals and universities around the country—and teaching themselves to play mandolin, piano, ukulele, banjo, and drums—The Hunts started experimenting with songwriting and have quickly honed their sound, crafting positive songs that move audiences. Their songs are full of joy and powerful uplifting themes. Learn more at . A Meet the Artist Reception for season ticket holders will be hosted by Tyndall Federal Credit Union. On Thursday, Oct. 24 A Nashville Legacy performs The Music of Floyd Cramer, Chet Atkins and the Nashville Sound. Cramer’s unique “slip note” piano style was an essential part of countless country, pop, and rock hits in the 1950’s and 60’s. Chet Atkins’ innovative thumb-style guitar led him to become known as one of the world's preeminent guitar virtuosos. Though Floyd and Chet are gone, their Nashville Legacy lives on through Floyd’s grandson, pianist Jason Coleman, and Chet’s niece, guitarist Meagan Taylor. In this concert, Jason and Meagan take audiences on a journey back in time to Nashville’s golden era, sharing the music made famous by Floyd and Chet, along with country, pop, and rock artists whose careers they impacted. Jason and Meagan also share their personal stories of growing up with their “Grandad” and “Uncle Chester,” recounting Nashville’s early recording days with heartwarming family photos and films and a series of video duets with their legendary predecessors.
