A Word from the President
|
A year ago I never dreamed I would be doing this job, but here I am. I am excited to say that this new career has re-energized me and has me excited to come to work every day. I look forward to meeting my members, learning more about them, what they do in our community, and how I can make their membership more meaningful. This is my challenge for the months and years ahead. I am outside my comfort zone, learning and growing daily in this new role. With that said, I would like to challenge each of you also. We often do not experience growth until we are outside of our comfort zone. So my challenge for each of you is to get outside of your comfort zone over the next 6 months.

This year is the 10th year Main Street Music Festival has taken over downtown Albertville for a two day festival! Over the past 10 years 150,000 -200,000 fans have enjoyed this event. Each years festival has grown bigger and better!
This year's event will kick off on Friday August 3, 2019 with gates opening at 4:00 PM. A kids water park will be open until 7:00 PM and Downtown Albertville will be lined with crafts and retail vendors as well as food & drink vendors!
The concert will begin at 6:00 PM with Whiskey Myers taking the stage
as the Friday Night opener.
For this band of renegade brothers, the goal isn't to fit into a format or try a new direction for its own sake, it's to be true to the music they love - and with Whiskey Myers they continue pushing in all directions and sharpening their attack, whether country, rock, blues, whatever - even adding the legendary McCrary Sisters' gospel influence to the project on background vocals. "Everybody wants you to pick a genre, but we did this our whole career," says Cody Cannon. "We like it all, so we're gonna do it all. We're better than we were at 20 years old - you try to hone your skills and get better, write better, play better. This is just how it came naturally, and it works better that way."
Friday Night's Headliner will be the legendary Marshall Tucker Band
Years of rigorous tour schedules earned the band the respect of critics and countless dedicated fans. With hit singles like "Heard It In a Love Song," "Fire On The Mountain," "Can't You See," and "Take The Highway," The Marshall Tucker Band earned seven gold and three platinum albums while they were on the Capricorn Records label. During the 90's, the MTB scored four hit singles on Billboard's country chart and one on Billboard's gospel chart. Their music has also been featured on the soundtracks of movies such as Smokey and the Bandit, Blow, The Pursuit of D.B. Cooper, Shipwrecked, Crank 2, Don't Mess with Zohan, Stop Loss, Swing Vote, Taking Chance and many others as well
as many TV Shows.
"The buying public never really cared whether they were country or rock and roll" says Gray. "They called us a Southern rock band, but we have always played everything from country, jazz, blues, Rock & Roll and all things in-between.
As we've become older," Gray grins, eyes twinkling, "our Southern heritage seems to come out even more. But no matter how old we get, we can still rock your socks off." Gray also notes that people have gotten "married and buried" to classic MTB songs like "Desert Skies" and "Can't You See". After 40 years, The Marshall Tucker Band continues to be played on classic rock and country radio, and they have never stopped touring. More than 40 years after forming, The Marshall Tucker Band continues to tour, performing more than 130 live dates each year. In 2015, the band will continue their legacy as they hit the road and embark on the "Searchin' For A Rainbow Tour."
Gates Open Saturday Morning August 3, 2019 at 9:00 AM
The day will be filled with lots of fun and laughter as children play in the inflatable water park and young and old alike enjoy the many craft, retail, and food vendors!
At 6:00 PM Fast rising Nashville recording star Ashley McBryde will take the stage!
Dubbed by NPR as "country music's most exciting new country voice" and Rolling Stone citing she's "an Arkansas red-clay badass, with the swagger of Hank Jr. and the songwriting of Miranda Lambert," McBryde fearlessly lays it all on the line, and it's that honest all-in approach that has led to The New York Times critic Jon Caramanica to opine that "the still beauty in her singing is impressive, but her easeful storytelling feels practically radical." McBryde's album showcases an artistic vision that proves her to be one of the genre's keenest working storytellers, bringing unwavering honesty back into a pop-preoccupied genre. Pulling tales from every corner of her human experience - a happenstance love on "A Little Dive Bar In Dahlonega," a neighbor with a heavy past on "Livin' Next to LeRoy," a girl with an impossibly possible dream on "Girl Goin' Nowhere" - McBryde sings with fire and fury, laughing and swigging that brown stuff along the way. And she doesn't do it in glitter and sequins, either, like a good lady of Music Row. McBryde wears her boots and crack her jokes: with McBryde, what you see is what you get, and what you get is what you see.
The Saturday evening headliner will be Easton Corbin
American Songwriter says, "Easton Corbin has one of those rare, glorious voices that was made-just made-for singing country music."
With two No. 1 singles, 7 Top 10 singles and multiple awards and nominations, plus performances on some of the biggest stages in the world including performing on one of the biggest and most talked about tours in country music-Carrie Underwood's The Storyteller Tour, Easton Corbin continues to make a lasting impression and leaving his footprint on country music. The Florida native is lauded for his unapologetic and unwavering traditional country sound, authentic lyrics and mastery of understatement. An accomplished songwriter in his own right, Corbin has always been just as talented on picking great songs from some of Nashville's best songwriters. Corbin has built a catalog of signature hits that include some of the most played and well-known songs in country music including "A Little More Country Than That," "Roll With It," "Lovin' You Is Fun" and "Baby Be My Love Song" from his No. 1 debuting album About To Get Real. His emotional "Are You With Me" was the most added song at radio the day it was released. His most recent single "A Girl Like You" landed at No. 3 on the country singles chart and garnered rave reviews.
Taste of Country picked it as a
Critics Pick saying, "It takes a fraction of a second to know Easton Corbin is on to something different with "A Girl Like You."
Corbin's fans have been loud and eager for him to release new music. The avid outdoorsman has been holed up, hard at work in the studio working on new music. The first single, "Somebody's Gotta Be Country," is already garnering attention and is proving to be another hit and he has more where that came from.
As from the start 10 years ago - Main Street Music Festival is FREE Event and brought to you by the generosity of its many sponsors and the over 300 volunteers that give of their time each year!
