⌛ ONE MONTH AWAY! ⌛

“Turn it up!” set in motion a musical history that inspired the members of Free Bird, an Atlanta-based band whose love of Lynyrd Skynyrd’s music since childhood radiates as they play the songs with the same passion and intensity as the original line-up. Free Bird brings the audience back to the 1970s with an energetic and full rendition of one of the greatest bands to ever record and tour.

🎤 GEM PERFORMER SPOTLIGHT: Killer Beaz

Get ready to laugh until it hurts when Killer Beaz brings his hard-hitting, high-energy comedy to The GEM Theatre!

Best known as one of the stars of Discovery Channel's hit series "Moonshiners," Killer Beaz has spent well over three decades entertaining audiences across comedy clubs, theatres, television, and radio. The Nashville-based comedian has become a regular on the Grand Ole Opry stage and has been featured on Dry Bar Comedy, bringing his unmistakable Southern accent and "Everyman" style humor to crowds nationwide.

Signed with both Sony and Warner Bros. Records, Beaz has built a reputation for clean, family-friendly comedy that keeps audiences laughing night after night. Whether he's sticking to the script or riffing on the fly, his gut-busting, relatable takes on everyday life have earned him fans from the Deep South to New York City.
