John Cowan, John McFee & Friends perform at the Franklin Theatre just
outside of Nashville, TN on Friday, September 12th to celebrate the
release of his Compass Records debut, "Sixty." Cowan’s new project
is the celebrated singer/bassist’s most ambitious and compelling
solo release to date. This promises to be a terrific night of music
with some of our favorite performers. John Cowan is such a distinctive
singer that his sound has helped to define American roots music. Known
by many as the voice of Newgrass, his soaring vocals have only
improved with time. On his new release "Sixty" – his first for new
label home Compass Records – Cowan delivers a career retrospective
and his most ambitious project to date. Produced by fellow Doobie
Brother John McFee, the album’s 12 tracks showcase Cowan’s iconic
voice alongside an incredible array of special guests including Leon
Russell, Alison Krauss, Rodney Crowell, Bernie Leadon, Sam Bush, Chris
Hillman, Huey Lewis, Bonnie Bramlett, Ray Benson and many more. John
McFee was born on September 9, 1950, in Santa Cruz, California and
began playing music “so young I can’t remember a time when I
didn’t play music.” With his interest in a wide range of musical
styles he seems to have found the perfect band in The Doobie Brothers.
“I was a big fan of the group before I ever thought about joining
them – they were always experimenting and mixing blues, country,
jazz, rock – all into their own style.” A very limited number of
VIP Experience packages are available for $47 as an add-on to a ticket
purchase. These will include a meet & greet with John Cowan & John
McFee as well as refreshments and special album release items. The
meet & greet package is only available for purchase through our box
office at (615) 538-2076. Presented by Franklin Theatre Live
