NASHVILLE, TN: Chigger Hill Boys & Terri CD release party! SAT 11/2

Hey, Music fans-

This Saturday, November 2nd, The Great Escape Nashville is proud to welcome our own Chigger Hill Boys & Terri for a CD release party and live show for their newest title on Great Escape Records, "Songs Like Those For Days Like These".

The band will perform songs from their new album, plus previous hits at 7:30 p.m., followed by a meet-and-greet session with fans, who can get merchandise autographed at this time, including the new CD, which is available at the Nashville, Madison and Murfreesboro locations of The Great Escape (and will soon also be available at our Bowling Green and Louisville stores; call for more info on this). ADMISSION IS FREE!

This group of award winning Bluegrass/Gospel hit makers have a long and distinguished career and association with The Great Escape: group founder Mike Richards has worked for the company off-and on since the early 80s, and lead vocalist Terri Argot Gore also spent considerable time in our employ, during the 2000s. After 20 years of success both as a band and individually (during which they were nominated for multiple awards, and won in the songwriting and lead vocalist categories, respectively), The Chigger Hill Boys and Terri decided to make Great Escape Records their new home after some 15 years with Thoroughbred Records. (The band has produced a significant number of successful records, including four #1 hits.)

For the new release, the group added multiple guest stars to their regular lineup: Bluegrass great Darrin Vincent joins Gore for a duet on one track, while Southern Gospel standout Ben Rochester assists the vocalist on another. Fiddle virtuoso Andy Leftwich sat in for the entire album, which is at a level of quality that nobody involved in the project could have possible anticipated at the time that the project began.

The album contains the #1 hit single "Songs Like Those (For Days Like These)", which, after being released on September 30, 2018 immediately began charting highly in Singing News and Bluegrass Today magazines. Meanwhile, Sirius XM radio programmed the recording in regular rotation on its Enlighten channel {Southern Gospel} as well as the #1 show in its field, Bluegrass Junction. The song is continuing to enjoy success more than a year after its initial release.

Don't miss the FREE performance by The Chigger Hill Boys & Terri on SAT, 11/2 at The Great Escape at 5400 Charlotte Avenue at 7:30 p.m.- and make sure to take the time to check out their amazing new album on Great Escape Records!

TGE NASHVILLE: Bell Witch expert Pat Fitzhugh storytelling/book signing: THU, 10/24

Paranormal researcher, Bell Witch expert and author, Pat Fitzhugh, will appear at the Nashville location of The Great Escape to tell stories and sign his books about the legendary Bell Witch of Tennessee on Thursday, October 24. Fitzhugh will tell stories about the witch and take questions from the audience at 7 p.m., followed by a book signing at 8 p.m.

Pat Fitzhugh is known for his roles on A&E’s Cursed: The Bell Witch, The Learning Channel’s Night Visitors, Turner South’s Liars & Legends, The Travel Channel’s Most Terrifying Places in America 2, and the 2006 Hollywood motion picture, An American Haunting, starring Sissy Spacek and Donald Sutherland.

He is also known for his books about the legends and lore of the American South. His works include The Bell Witch Haunting, Our Family Trouble (foreword / annotations), Weird U.S. (contributing author), Ghostly Cries From Dixie, and The Bell Witch: The Full Account. He also penned the foreword to Lori Crane's The Legend of Stuckey's Bridge, which became an Amazon bestseller and was recently published as an audio book.

Fitzhugh took an interest in ghost stories early on, and along the way, developed a keen interest in Tennessee’s infamous "Bell Witch" legend, which became one of his early research projects. His research on the topic spans four decades. As an adult, he researches America’s most historic and creepy locations, teaches paranormal and critical thinking classes, and writes books.

A sought-after paranormal researcher and critical thinking advocate, Fitzhugh has lectured at bookstores, libraries, conventions, and universities across the United States, and has done over 200 radio and TV appearances in his four-decade career.
When he’s not writing thought-provoking books or sharing his research with others, Pat Fitzhugh enjoys taking road trips to weird places and working as a session guitarist in Nashville.

Pat's books will be available for sale at these prices-
The Bell Witch: The Full Account $20
Ghostly Cries From Dixie $15

He accepts cash, checks with phone/DL information, and major credit cards.
