SUMMARY:Priscilla Block - The Hall at Bourbon Brothers
DESCRIPTION:Priscilla Block is one country’s boldest and most unapologetic breakout voices\, cultivating a fiercely loyal fanbase of more than 5 million who have grown to adore her unfiltered storytelling and catchy\, confessional hooks that turn pain into empowerment. Her sophomore album\, Things You Didn’t See (10.10 via MCA) offers a unique\, mature perspective of the cost of always being “on” — the anxiety\, the burnout\, the pressure\, and everything that bubbles beneath the shiny surface of fame. Across 14 tracks\, Things You Didn’t See is an invitation to know Block on the most personal level\, and it has been praised by The New York Times\, The Recording Academy\, the TODAY Show\, and more. \nBlock has achieved success on the iTunes All-Genre and Country charts with her PLATINUM-certified track “Just About Over You\,” and notched her first No. 1 hit at country radio with her Justin Moore duet “You\, Me\, And Whiskey” in 2023. She’s earned more than 700 million global career streams and has made appearances on The Kelly Clarkson Show\, The Tamron Hall Show\, The Ellen DeGeneres Show\, and more. Her debut album\, Welcome to the Block Party\, received recognition from The New York Times (“Best Albums of 2022″)\, CMT (“Breakthrough Video of the Year”)\, and the Academy of Country Music (“New Female Artist of the Year” nomination)\, among others. Block has opened for Shania Twain\, Jon Pardi\, Old Dominion and Cole Swindell. Block kicks off her headlining Things You Didn’t See Tour this Fall\, followed by a Spring leg that will include stops in Nashville\, Houston\, San Diego\, and more.

SUMMARY:Live Music: Preston Cooper - Smithgall Arts Center
DESCRIPTION:With a vocal so expressive it builds into jaw-dropping eruptions of power and emotion\, 22-year-old artist Preston Cooper represents the start of a new generation in Country Rock. The biggest voice to ever hail from the tiny town of Fredericktown\, Ohio\, Preston’s soulful and blues inspired vocal is a potent force of nature\, drawing comparisons to icons like Chris Stapleton and Bob Seger. First picking up guitar as a high school freshman\, he joined the US Postal Service after graduation and found local fame as “The Singing Mailman” – walking up to 14 miles each day while belting out raw\, raspy vocal runs\, then clocking out to perform across the region. Hundreds of shows later\, hit-making legends Brad and Brett Warren (Tim McGraw\, Dierks Bentley\, Keith Urban) discovered Preston at a Toledo songwriter’s round\, and quickly recognized his once-in-a-lifetime talent. With his debut album\, Toledo Talkin’\, released August 29\, the first chapter of this generational talent’s story unfolds. With 12 incendiary tracks – all but three co-written by the no-frills newcomer – Toledo Talkin’ was recorded with an old-school\, full-band process\, lashed together with sheer vocal intensity miles different from the Music Row norm. The album wields a mix of raw\, organic Country and edgy Alt Rock\, as evidenced on his show-stopping debut track “Weak\,” emotive “One More Place I’ve Never Been\,” shot of nostalgia “Numbers On A Mailbox\,” highway rocker “One For The Road\,” and personal reflection “The Takedown.” Preston recently wrapped his run as direct support for Kameron Marlowe’s Keepin’ The Lights On Tour and select dates of Riley Green’s Country Music Tour. Preston made his Grand Ole Opry Debut on October 24th and was introduced by Vince Gill. Preston will keep busy in 2026 as he tours fairs\, festivals\, and a run of headlining shows. For more information\, visit www.prestoncoopermusic.com. \nGates open at 6:30pm. Bring a bag chair or reserve a table. RAIN OR SHINE – NO OUTSIDE FOOD OR DRINKS! Preorder a meal when purchasing tickets from our featured caterer Epting Events – limited number of meals will be available at the concert.

SUMMARY:Buckcherry - The Hall at Bourbon Brothers
