Grady Champion Returns to Link Centre
Saturday, June 25, 2022 at 7:30pm
Link Centre Concert Hall
Tickets: $18/advance, $20/door
Mississippi-based, Grammy Award-winning songwriter, entertainer/musician, Grady Champion has been captivating audiences for more than two decades. The singer/harp player/guitarist/songwriter/producer signed to Malaco Records, headquartered in nearby Jackson, MS, in 2013; his first full-length release with the legendary blues label was released the following year. His album, Bootleg Whiskey, named for the George Jackson song, that is one of the album highlights, established Champion as a torch carrier for authentic Mississippi blues.

In 2003, Champion’s song, co-written with Kevin Bowe, entitled “Trust Yourself” was included on Etta James’ Let’s Roll album (2003), which won a Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Blues Album and a Blues Music Award as the Soul/Blues Album of the Year from the Blues Foundation in 2004.

High Lonesome Dreamers Facebook
A Minnesotan, a Texan, and a Tennessean walked into a bar…
…and walked out as lifelong friends, co-writers, and fellow travelers.
Sally Barris, Templeton Thompson, and Sam Gay are each successful Nashville singer-songwriters in their own right but found something special the very first time they sang together. Their music is a blend of country, folk, and bluegrass with a bit of Irish drinking song thrown in for good measure.
Between them, their songs have been recorded by Reba McEntire, Martina McBride, Montgomery Gentry, Lee Ann Womack, and a multitude of other million-selling artists.
The High Lonesome Dreamers will take you on a journey filled with quirky characters, heartfelt stories and uplifting messages all wrapped up in their kindred-spirit driven harmonies. Before the night ends, you’ll know a little more about fishin’, ridin’ horses and Jane Austen and be joyfully singing along.

Using Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s notion of the “Beloved Community” as a lens through which to examine the idea of heritage sites, museums and cultural centers as Centers of “Social Justice” in communities, this conversation is prompted by

the new Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, Lonnie Bunch’s statement, “the role of cultural institutions is to make people “feel comfortable with nuance and complexity.”
