What patrons are saying about the Don Gibson Theatre. David P. Says: A Treasure, My All Time Favorite LIVE Music Venue
Being an avid concert attender (with nearly 1,000 lifetime shows under my belt), I recently happened upon The Don Gibson Theatre which has quickly become my all time favorite LIVE music venue. My drive time in from South Carolina is 2 hours and 15 minutes up I85. The time spent on the road compared to that of similar venues in the UpState and NE Georgia has proven itself well worth it time and again. The 400 seat Art Deco treasure, both intimate and modern, features comfortable seating with sound like no other. Once conveniently parked onsite, a marquee will quickly catch your attention and guide you inside to greet a friendly and knowledgable staff. Upon entry make your way to the lounge, pull up a table and enjoy top local entertainment with a favorite drink prior to the performance. Of special note Executive Director Stan Lowery will be out and about making his rounds helping patrons feel welcomed. The caliber of artists the venue draws in are unparalleled for the value of admission costs, and did I mention, there’s not a bad seat in the house. One of the things that will make the evening special is how the venue fosters artist/fan interaction. You wont find ushers telling you to put your cell phone cameras away, and in numerous cases you’ll actually find the artist signing memorabilia in the lounge after the performance. Take my advice and look up the Don Gibson online or on social media and book a pair of tickets today. I will promise you, you’ll be glad that you did! Dave in Abbeville, SC

Day 2 in Nashville started out with a trip to Belle Meade for a little retail therapy and lunch. I believe a few took
In the sights of the Plantation and some enjoyed wine tasting. (I heard the Sangria was delicious).

We ended the evening at The Grand Ole Opry! And wow, what a show! We had amazing seats and the acts were all very good! If you haven’t heard Josh Weathers sing Dolly Parton’s “I Will Always Love You” - lookup a few online live versions. It isn’t on an album
yet, but should be. Amazing!

Started Day 3 in Nashville with a tour of one of our favorite stops in town - RCA Studio B. We enjoyed hearing all about the studio from our very knowledgeable guide, Hal. We especially loved seeing the very first picture which was of our very own Don Gibson. We were especially proud to hear in the tour that Don Gibson’s “Oh Lonesome Me” was the studios first ever Number 1 hit. And “I Can’t Stop Loving You” was a top 10
Hit. We saw where Elvis sat and recorded many of his songs! We stood on the spots of numerous artists as they recorded. What a special place.

Ended our tours on Sunday with a trip to The Country Music Hall of Fame. Learned lots and saw lots of country music history along with modern favs. Always enjoyable.
