Southern Stars and Mason Jars is coming to Wilson County! Headlining the show is award-winning country music superstar Tracy Lawrence. Lawrence, along with three of Nashville’s top songwriters, Casey Beathard, Rick Huckaby and Mark Nessler, will take the stage at Sammy B’s 705 Cadet Ct, Lebanon, TN 37087 on Thursday, November 2, for a lively evening of musical entertainment. It all benefits the Keith Edmonds Foundation, a local non-profit that works to assist and empower victims of child abuse.
Lawrence, a Wilson County resident, is well known for such hits as “Time Marches On”, “Sticks and Stones”, “Paint Me a Birmingham,” and “If the World Had a Front Porch”. His studio albums have accounted for more than 40 singles on the Billboard country music charts, with eight reaching number one.
Beathard has penned hits for many of Nashville’s best, including Trace Atkins, Gary Allan, Tracy Byrd, and Billy Currington. He was named BMI Country Songwriter of the Year in 2004 and 2008. He was honored by BMI as co-writer of Lawrence’s number one single “Find Out Who Your Friends Are”. Other hits to his credit include Eric Church’s “Like a Wrecking Ball”, “The Outsiders” and “Like Jesus Does”.
Nesler’s first number one hit “Just to See You Smile” recorded by Tim McGraw, spent six weeks in the number one spot on Billboard’s country music charts. Other favorites include “Living and Living Well” (George Strait), and” You Look Good in My Shirt” (Keith Urban).
Nashville singer, songwriter and guitar player Rick “Huck” Huckabee is credited with a sound like no other in country music today. The accomplished acoustic guitarist has traveled with Tracy Lawrence, as well as Tanya Tucker, Joe Diffie and Mark Chestnut performing and playing guitar. He co-wrote Thomas Rhett’s first hit single “Beer with Jesus”.
“This is a rare opportunity to bring the type of event to Wilson County that you would typically have to go to Nashville to experience”, said Keith Edmonds, founder of The Keith Edmonds Foundation, “We appreciate Tracy and his talented friends’ willingness to donate their time and talent to help us in our work with victims of child abuse.”
