Jimmy Fortune

What's better than having a legendary performer who's a member of both the Country Music Hall of Fame and the Gospel Music Hall of Fame coming to a small-town to perform? Having such a performer come back for a second time. Jimmy Fortune will return to Moon Family Theatre this...

The Walker Center will present Jimmy Fortune on Thursday, Feb. 24. Doors open at 7 p.m. and the show starts at 7:30 p.m. After the Statler Brothers retired in 2002, Jimmy Fortune seized the opportunity to launch a solo career to share new music with his fans. His first solo CD, “When One Door Closes,” was released August 2003 on Audium/Koch. He released a gospel album, “I Believe,” in June 2005; a Christmas CD, “Feels Like Christmas.”

Due to weather concerns, the 5 Points Music Sanctuary shows scheduled for Wasena Park this weekend will happen at the 5 Points venue, 1217 Maple Ave. S.W., instead. Doors open at 5 p.m. Friday for The Dead Reckoning with Sol Roots, with a 5:30 p.m. showtime. Doors open at 6 p.m. Saturday for Freekbass with Marcus Rezak’s Shred Is Dead, with a 7 p.m. showtime. Seating will be provided for all pod holders. General admission tickets are still available, with seating still available for Saturday only. More info at 795-5618 or info@5pointsmusic.com. This information arose after Thursday's Extra Vibe went to press.
