Live Celtic Music at McCreary's
2017-05-27 20:30 - 22:30, 2017-06-24 20:30 - 22:30 UTC | T
You’ll surely be stomping your feet & bangin’ the tables to some of the good ol’ Irish tunes played by Seven to the Sea, as well as being entranced by some of their slower melodies.
Seven to the Sea combines the raw energy of a vocal-based pub band with the instrumental virtuosity of bluegrass and Celtic groups of the 60’s folk revival. While firmly rooted in best of what has gone before, Seven to the Sea brings a thoroughly modern sensibility to their interpretations of traditional music. Travis and Tom each have their own unique perspective, exploring influences that include roots music, Americana, and even stray elements of rock and pop song craft. In the band’s songwriting, the themes are both current and universal: good times, bad times, family, love, loss, and striving.

Lee Roy Parnell at the Franklin Theatre
2017-08-17 20:00 - 22:00
Lee Roy Parnell is part of a long line of Texas roots-music eclectics and is among the elite few who can be identified as a triple threat. An ace guitarist, distinctive singer and hit songwriter, his music runs the gamut of diversity. Combining the influences of Blue-Eyed Soul, Delta Blues, Road House Rock, Southern Boogie, Texas Swing, and Gospel, Parnell’s sound defies conventional classification.
Parnell has recorded eight studio albums, and has charted more than twenty singles on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks (now Hot Country Songs) charts. His highest-charting hits are “What Kind of Fool Do You Think I Am” (1992), “Tender Moment” (1993), and “A Little Bit of You” (1995), all of which peaked at No. 2.
Parnell’s new album, “Midnight Believer,” comes out August 11th, his first in 11 years. His show at the Franklin Theatre on August 17th will bring some of the old favorites along with debuting new music.

Liturgical Folk Music Event
2017-11-18 18:30 - 20:00
Music of the people; prayers of the saints. Don’t miss Liturgical Folk on Saturday, November 18 at 6:30 p.m. at the Franklin First UMC Historic Sanctuary.
Liturgical Folk is a sound of liturgical renewal. It is a vision of something refreshingly old for churches that have grown tired of the same new thing.
Liturgical folk is a new category of music, pairing historic church language with modern, folk melodies, tapping into sounds and forms of worship already resident in a community and culture. This music breaks through today’s chaos and clutter with something approachable and haunting, simple and deep.
Liturgical Folk comes out of the Anglican tradition, but is meant to inspire and refresh all saints, where ever they may be on their journey, and to resource the church with what we have discovered deep in its bones and prayer books. This event is in partnership with Franklin’s Luminous Parish.
