• Joining the Director’s Circle gives you season tickets for all six shows as well as reserved section seating and one free concession ticket for the locally-sponsored concessions of the evening (to be determined before each show). This package is on sale now.

• Single ticket sales will begin July 13. Each show is priced differently and with different seating sections. Availability is listed on the website.

Tickets for all shows are available at www.roswellcac.com. Each event starts at 8 p.m.a nd runs approximately 90 minutes and will have a full cash bar in the lobby one hour prior to show time. Theatre doors for each event open 30 minutes prior to curtain.

This year’s line-up includes:

Saturday, Aug. 22: Tall Tall Trees - $25
A pioneer in the world of experimental and psychedelic banjo music, Mike Savino has released two records and one EP on his own label Good Neighbor Records, Tall Tall Trees (2009), Moment (2012), and The Seasonal EP (2014). Since 2012, Tall Tall Trees has been touring relentlessly, mystifying audiences with a “continually refreshing and innovative approach to the banjo” (Paste Magazine). In addition to Tall Tall Trees, Savino has been touring the world collaborating with beatboxing violinist, and of Montreal alum, Kishi Bashi and has appeared at Austin City Limits, Newport Folk Festival, and on Late Night with David Letterman. Savino is currently working on a third full-length Tall Tall Trees record, which he is planning to release in 2015.

Friday, Oct. 23: Nikki Lane - $30, $35
Growing up in South Carolina, Nikki Lane loved her mom’s Motown records and her dad’s country cassettes, but she’d also sneak to see alt-rock and punk shows. All those influences come through on her new album, All or Nothin’, which was produced by the Black Keys’ Dan Auerbach.

Saturday, Dec. 19: M-PACT - $35
What could be more perfect than M-PACT for the holidays? As seen in the PBS “Christmas from LA” special, the warmth and elegance of M-PACT pairs perfectly with an evening of holiday favorites. You can’t help but get in the Yuletide spirit as the guys perform selections from their award-winning Christmas album, “The Carol Commission.”

Saturday, Feb. 6, 2016: The Blind Boys of Alabama - $40
The Blind Boys are recognized worldwide as living legends of gospel music. They have attained the highest levels of achievement, having been celebrated by The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) and the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (NARAS) with Lifetime Achievement Awards, inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame, and selected as winners of five GRAMMY Awards. The Blind Boys are known for crossing multiple musical boundaries with their remarkable interpretations of everything from traditional gospel favorites to contemporary spiritual material by songwriters such as Ben Harper, Eric Clapton, Prince and Tom Waits.

Saturday, May 7, 2016: The Second City - $35, $40
The Second City knows a few things about love - they’ve been laughing about relationships for more than 55 years. Hooking Up with The Second City makes mirth out of missed connections, girls’ night out adventures, and all the crazy things we do for love. This gaspingly funny revue is a modern mix of romance, rancor and everything in between.

Saturday, June 11, 2016: An Evening with Edwin McCain - $35, $40
Edwin McCain’s voice is everywhere. At any given moment, a radio station is playing one of his songs. An American Idol hopeful is belting out “I’ll Be.” A newlywed couple is dancing to “I Could Not Ask for More.” McCain’s innate ability to write and perform songs that somehow every listener claims as his or her own has made him one of the most enduring and downright likable entertainers of our generation.
