Willie is Back!

I've been trying to get Willie Nelson booked back at the auditorium for 11 years. Well, I guess 11 years is what it takes for a man as popular as Willie. He's back. Nov 1. Tickets go on sale this coming Monday at 10 AM (Aug 29)

Who knows...maybe I'll get Tom Jones to come back again too. Even Elvis maybe???

Exciting Fall at LMA

July is in the rear-view and August is upon us. We've had a busy Spring and first half of summer at LMA getting prepped for the Fall. I am very excited about what we have already booked, and what I am hoping is yet to be added.

Our Lowell Five broadway series is packed with great stuff. We've got some great concerts booked and more on the way. And then there's the comedy and children's entertainment. It's going to be hard to top last year's comedy line-up, but we are going to give it a shot. The children's programming is very exciting...particularly a new addition to our Fall line up.

We are presenting a world premier family show at the end of October that I feel is going to become a great annual tradition for the Mill City. We will be announcing details this coming Wednesday, so keep on the lookout around the city for signs of this upcoming show. Here's a hint...be on lookout for big Spiky hair.

Also, congratulations to everyone who made this year's folk fest another great success. It's a ton of work for all involved and they do an incredible job every year.
