Nashville like Sherrié Austin, Tony Haselden and Will Rambeaux. Get up close
and personal with artists who have penned hits for music legends like Blake
Shelton, Faith Hill and George Strait. It’s a unique chance to hear some of
your favorite songs the way they were meant to be heard.
This series originally started in
partnership with Blue Bird Cafe under the guidance of Michael Bush, and modeled
after the Grand Ole Opry, features some of the hottest acts to come out of
Tennessee today.
American Idol and The Voice’s
inclusion of Keith Urban and Blake Shelton on their respective judging panels,
as well as television shows like Nashville, have contributed to the country
music’s surge in popularity. Raue Center strives to make this genre accessible
and enjoyable for the community with a cozy environment and low price point.
Nashville Backstage recently welcomed
Georgia Middleman and Gary Burr who, along with Kenny Loggins, make up the band
Blue Sky Riders. The trio is currently receiving high praise for their recent
studio album entitled “Finally Home”.
