A Night With Tony Joe White To Benefit Saddle Up!

Join us for a special evening concert featuring the legendary Tony Joe White and opening act Phoenix Drive who will perform to benefit Saddle Up! Tony Joe White - best known for writing “Polk Salad Annie” and “Rainy Night in Georgia” - in a one-night-only performance at the historic Franklin Theatre. His touring credits include Creedence Clearwater Revival, Eric Clapton and James Taylor. His songs have been recorded by Elvis, Ray Charles, Tina Turner, Kenny Chesney, Etta James, Dusty Springfield and Bruce Springfield to name a few. Revered as one of the originators of swamp rock, Tony Joe has recorded 30 records and topped the United Kingdom country charts with his 2013 studio album, “Hoodoo.” Phoenix Drive is a modern country/rock band featuring founding members, Jon Scott and Brian Powers, co-lead singer Charissa Nicole, lead guitarist Jason Roller and drummer David Rollins. With a sound that has often been compared to the earlier music of Fleetwood Mac, Keith Urban and The Civil Wars, they’re gaining fans fast with their dynamic live show, solid musicianship, powerful duo lead vocalists, and intricate three-part harmonies. Their original songs and modern infusion of country, rock, folk and soul caught the attention of hit producer and songwriter Joe West who recorded their first full-length album, “A Fool’s Melody”, which is receiving accolades from industry professionals and fans.
