Tom Wilson (keys) and Earl Tribble (drums) are also middle Georgia musical staples he met through his friend\, Markham White (electric guitar)\, also a middle Georgia and Atlanta-area musical staple who plays with Gary here in Ellijay. It’s going to be a great evening of music and celebration with some surprises as well.

SUMMARY:Chicken Fried Fabulous Spa-Dee-Dah Sisterhood Opening Sept. 24th performances thru Oct. 11th
DESCRIPTION:Spa-Dee-Dah is the fictional day spa set inside a converted abandoned church in Eden Falls\, Georgia\, which serves as the primary setting for the popular comedic play The Hallelujah Girls by Jones\, Hope\, and Wooten \nThe Catalyst: After a dear friend passes away\, a feisty group of middle-aged Southern women realize that time is short. They vow to change their lives and chase their dreams. The Venture: Firecracker leader Sugar Lee Thompkins buys an old abandoned church and transforms it into the Spa-Dee-Dah\, where she and her tight-knit group of girlfriends meet every Friday afternoon. The Conflict: Chaos ensues as the women grapple with personal baggage—from stagnant marriages and multiple past husbands to rebellious kids. Tension peaks when Sugar Lee’s former high school sweetheart reappears and her bitter archrival plots to steal the spa building away from her. \nThe tight-knit group of five Southern women at the heart of the spa includes: \n• Sugar Lee Thompkins: The high-spirited\, determined leader who bought the church to create Spa-Dee-Dah. \n• Carlene Travis: A woman who has completely given up on romance after outliving three husbands. \n• Nita Mooney: A nervous wreck always stuck dealing with her problematic son and his probation officer. \n• Mavis Flowers: A woman stuck in a marriage so terribly stagnant she openly contemplates faking her own death to escape it. \n• Crystal Hart: A sweet\, eccentric soul who keeps everyone entertained by singing custom\, hilarious lyrics to Christmas carols. \n \nTHE SEQUEL: The Chicken Fried Fabulous Spa-Dee-Dah Sisterhood \n• The Plot: The fierce females attempt to franchise Spa-Dee-Dah across Georgia. \n• The New Threat: Ruthless rival Glorietta DeWitt (owner of DeWitt’s Delights) tries to steal Crystal’s secret chocolate-cookie recipe\, which is the backbone of the spa’s success. \n• More Chaos: The action unfolds during the chaotic Eden Falls Azalea Festival\, featuring a new stranger with a big secret named Hardy Womble. \nDirector HollyAnn Rogers is forming her cast into a glorious\, storytelling group that will have you laughing and sighing and wishing you had some of those chocolate cookies… \nTickets on sale August 20th at noon.  \nCoupon Code good til Sept 10th for 10% off SPADEEDAHEARLY  \nSpecial Code good Oct. 5-11th APPLEFEST

SUMMARY:Surrender Hill and Friends Thanksgiving Weekend Show
DESCRIPTION:“…one of today’s very best Americana duos… Their last album\, the double set Just Another Honky Tonk in a Quiet Western Town\, was one of the finest country albums of the decade so far and nothing here falls short of that benchmark… rock and soul elements alongside the familiar country and western and honky tonk sounds…yet another outstanding album.” “It wasn’t intentional\, but some of the songs called for an edgier\, at times\, darker perspective\,” says Robin Dean Salmon\, who previously spent several years in a rock band signed to a major label and has also produced acts making everything from gospel to metal music. “We ended up exploring a rock & roll edge\, balanced equally with tender\, Southwestern soul-feeling landscapes.”
