Mark you calendars, country and bluegrass
fans!
Continuing a great summer of special events,
The Great Escape announces an upcoming appearance of Country Music Hall Of Fame
living legend Mac Wiseman at The Great Escape's Charlotte
Avenue location on Saturday, August 29th at
1:00 p.m.
Wiseman
will do a 30 minute live performance and a book
signing for his newly-published "Mac Wiseman: All My Memories Fit For
Print." (His book signing and meet-and-greet with fans will follow the live
performance.) This book is currently on sale for $29.99 at our Madison & Bowling Green stores, as well as the
Charlotte Avenue Superstore location.
Mac
Wiseman has had an unprecedented career, stretching from the 1940s to the
present: first as a broadcaster, then as a musician for pioneers Buddy
Starcher, Molly O'Day, Flatt &
Scruggs and Bill Monroe, and finally as a solo singer,
hitting his stride with the ballad, "Davy Crockett" and "Jimmy Brown The Newsboy." Behind the scenes, Mac produced
acts like Reno & Smiley, Cowboy Copas and
Bonnie Guitar. After many years in this role, he reemerged as a
college circuit favorite; was the first bluegrass artist touring Europe,
recorded with Big Band leader Woody Herman, helped originate
1990's Groovegrass Boyz with Doc
Watson, Del McCoury & Bootsy
Collins, cut new Millenium discs with John Prine,
Charlie Daniels, Merle Haggard and did the
last recordings with buddy Johnny Cash.
The 90-year old Wiseman officially retired in 2007 and
rarely makes public appearances anymore. Don’t miss your chance
to meet this living legend, get his autograph
and watch him perform.
Space is limited. If you wish to
attend, please fill out and turn in the RSVP form below at the
