Sound Levels
We have purchased a decibel meter to control the sound levels in the theater. We will check the sound levels of the musicians instrument levels to make certain they are in compliance with our new ruling.
We ask that all musicians comply with this ruling, and we will control the sound level of the Public Address System.
We want to make the music experience in the theater enjoyable for everyone as we have had numerous complaints about the music being too loud.
We hope this is a suitable solution for everyone.
Bands Needed
As Always we are looking for bands to perform at the Theater. If anyone knows of any bands that would like to donate an evening of their time to come and put on a show, then please encourage them to do so. Just remind them that we are non profit and it is unlawful for us to pay them to play for a wage.
We also welcome duet acts, and solo acts.. If they wish we can try and provide back up music for anyone that wishes to come and put on a show.
This is something that is ongoing with the Theater.. Bands will always be needed.. so if you know of a band or hear of a Band, Get our contact information to them so they can be recruited for our shows. Thank You.
Bands may now go to our new website https://cornhuskercountry.com. To signup Go to contact/bookings at the top of the page and fill out the form. We will then check our calendar to see what dates are available.
Artist of the Month: Tom T. Hall
Tom T Hall was born in Kentucky in 1925. Because of the nature of his songs.. Tom was also known as the storyteller. They told stories of people and places, so rightfully he earned his title.
Tom had many big hits such as, Watermelon Wine, The year Clayton Delaney died, Sneaky Snake, Me and Jesus, I like Beer and many many more songs.
Tom enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1957. He was sent to Germany. He performed over the Armed Services network, using his songwriting talents early on with comedy songs about experiences in the Army.
He was discharged in 1961, and took his GI Bill benefits with him to college at Roanoke where he worked as a disk jockey. Tom became a member of the Grand ol’ Opry in 1971 and was inducted in the songwriters hall of fame in 2019. He also received a tribute from BMI at the org’s annual Nashville awards dinner in 2017.
Tom married in 1968 to Iris Dixie Dean, from England, United Kingdom. Iris was a bluegrass and country music songwriter. They remained married until her death on June 19th 2019. Tom T Hall passed away on August 20, 2021 at the age of 85. He performed little after the 90’s saying that he had his day and others needed to have theirs as well.
RIP Tom T Hall.
