TIP WARS by JESS MOSS [Reception Held 11/5]
Jess Moss to Showcase 1822 Coffee Co’s “Tip Wars” Exhibit at The Dixie’s Ballroom Gallery
The Dixie’s Ballroom Gallery is proud to present a new art exhibit titled “Tip Wars”, featuring the artwork of Jess Moss, from Huntingdon, Tennessee. The art will be on display from November 3, 2026 through January 22, 2027.
An artist reception will be held on Thursday, November 5, 2026 from 6:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. with the artist present to talk about her work. 1822 Coffee Co. will generously provide coffee for guests to enjoy during the reception. The artist reception is free and open to the public.
Jess recalls that the idea for “Tip Wars” began years ago when a coworker at a local coffee shop suggested creating polls as a fun way for customers to leave tips. One evening, inspiration struck, and Jess began drawing. What started as a simple idea quickly became a beloved tradition. Each day, Jess creates two different illustrations inspired by a fun question or friendly competition, and customers cast their votes by leaving tips for their favorite. The following day, a winner is revealed and a new round begins. For Jess, one of the most rewarding parts is seeing customers return, eager to discover which illustration won the day before.
When Jess is not drawing or getting lost in a good book, you can usually find her spending time with her children, behind a counter serving up coffee and smiles, supporting our military, or keeping our parks clean and beautiful. She believes in giving back, appreciating the little things, and leaving the world a little better than she found it.
This event is supported by 1822 Coffee Co. The gallery is free and open to the public M-F from 10:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.

G. LOVE & SPECIAL SAUCE
G. Love & Special Sauce is an American Hip-Hop Blues band known for its unique fusion of hip-hop, blues, funk, and soul. Formed in 1993 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the band originally featured Garrett Dutton, aka G. Love, as the lead vocalist and guitarist, Jeffrey Clemens on drums, and Jim Prescott on bass. The trio quickly gained attention for their laid-back, groovy style and G. Love’s unique vocal delivery, blending rap-like spoken word with bluesy singing.
Their debut self-titled album, G. Love & Special Sauce, was released in 1994 on Epic Records and included the hit single “Cold Beverage,” which became popular on alternative radio stations and MTV, solidifying their presence in the music scene. The band’s style has been described as a mix of “slacker blues” and “alternative hip-hop,” as they frequently incorporate elements of 90s hip-hop beats with classic blues rhythms.
Over the years, G. Love & Special Sauce has released numerous albums, including Coast to Coast Motel (1995), Yeah, It’s That Easy (1997), The Electric Mile (2001) and the GRAMMY nominated The Juice (2020). Their sound evolved to include more soul, R&B, and rock influences, though they retained their laid-back vibe and clever lyrical play. Their 2014 album Sugar saw a reunion of the original lineup after several years, and they continued to tour and produce music with a loyal fan base.
Known for their energetic live performances, G. Love & Special Sauce has played at festivals like Bonnaroo and Lollapalooza. Garrett Dutton also frequently collaborates with other artists, including Jack Johnson, with whom he shares a similar vibe, and has released solo projects that dive deeper into his blues influences. G. Love & Special Sauce remains a beloved name in the music scene, blending genres in a way that feels fresh and authentic.
TODD CAREY
Todd Carey has spent more than two decades on the road, and his new collaborative beach project is his biggest yet. Led by "LFG" with G. Love & Special Sauce, it quickly racked up nearly a million global streams, with features from Cisco Adler, Bobby Alu, and Mihali.
Along the way, Todd has shared stages with John Mayer, Robert Randolph, and The 1975, co-wrote for Meghan Trainor's triple-platinum album Title, and has 10 million global streams with his viral hit "Nintendo." A mainstay on Train's Sail Across the Sun cruise, where he rose from opener to main stage, he plays 100+ shows a year. On this tour, he's joined by longtime bandmate Rodney Flood.

Tickets will be available through a link below or through The Dixie’s Box Office, in person or by phone at 731.986.2100, Monday-Friday, 10-4P.
ABOUT TAB BENOIT
The multi- Grammy-nominated Tab Benoit has spent more than three decades carving out his own definitive sound. Born in Baton Rouge and raised in Houma, Louisiana, Louisiana soul, roots music, and raw swamp blues have always been at the heart of his catalog. His legendary playing is built entirely on tone, touch, and feel; his famously stripped-down approach uses virtually no effects pedalboards—relying strictly on his 1972 Fender Telecaster Thinline, a cord, and an amplifier. As Benoit famously puts it, “The effects that you hear come from my fingers.”
Benoit got his start recording with a legendary community of Southern blues and rock icons including Billy Joe Shaver, Junior Wells, James Cotton, Dr. John, and Willie Nelson, establishing himself as one of Louisiana’s most important musical exports. The multiple B.B. King Entertainer of the Year award winner and Louisiana Music Hall of Famer “Benoit’s a strong vocalist who possesses a versatile guitar attack. His resourceful chops on that instrument—very much in evidence on Fever for the Bayou—provide the constant dynamic that makes his records so potent and unfailingly attractive……Billboard Magazine
Driven by a firsthand perspective of the devastating land loss from his time flying planes over the Mississippi Delta, he founded the non-profit organization Voice of the Wetlands in the early 2000s to spark national awareness about coastal erosion and its devastating threat to local ecosystems and Cajun culture. He assembled the Voice of the Wetlands All-Stars— featuring Dr. John, Cyril Neville, Anders Osborne, and George Porter Jr.—to amplify his conservation message through powerful advocacy albums and live performances. His extensive outreach includes testifying before Congress on Capitol Hill and starring in an IMAX documentary about coastal restoration, efforts that earned him Louisiana's prestigious Governor's Award for Conservationist of the Year.
In 2025 Benoit returned to the top of the charts after a 13-year hiatus from recording with his self-produced 2024 album, I Hear Thunder, released on his own imprint, Whiskey Bayou Records.
ABOUT DUANE BETTS
Guitar virtuoso, singer, songwriter and bandleader Duane Betts has forged a distinctive path through American rock & roll, blending blues, Southern rock, country and roots music with the improvisational spirit that has defined his remarkable career. His latest chapter is Duane Betts & Palmetto Motel, whose 2026 album, Isle of Hope, was produced by Grammy-winning producer Dave Cobb (best known for producing Chris Stapleton, Brandi Carlile, John Prine, Sturgill Simpson, Jason Isbell and Rival Sons). “The warm tones on Isle of Hope… hit with an emotional resonance that transports listeners through shadows into light.” — No Depression, June 2026

That shared history creates a musical connection that audiences can feel—an instinctive interplay and authenticity that make every performance come alive.
More than a tribute band, TUSK is a family.
And every show is a celebration of one of the greatest catalogs in rock history.
Experience the wonder of TUSK for yourself.

ABOUT BOOKER T. JONES
The long-awaited memoir of Booker T. Jones—leader of the famed Stax Records house band, architect of the Memphis soul sound, and one of modern music’s most acclaimed figures
From an early age, Booker T. Jones—“one of the legends of soul music” (The New Yorker)—was captivated by the magic of melody, rhythm, and harmony. So magnetic was the attraction, in fact, that by the time he turned sixteen, he was, incredibly, already a working musician with a hit song to his name.
As part of the first house band for Stax Records, he formed the category-defining group Booker T. & the MGs, whose first recording, “Green Onions,” was an international sensation, selling more than one million copies and winning a place among Rolling Stone’s top five hundred songs of all time. Not stopping there, Jones continued to push soul music’s boundaries, refining it to its essence and then injecting it into the nation’s bloodstream. Nearly five decades after he first made his entrance onto the scene, Jones paved the way for modern soul music and is largely responsible for the genre’s rise and enduring popularity.
From midcentury Memphis, where the brutality of segregation was a stark backdrop to the loving, supportive family and community in which he was raised, to the creative hotbed of Beale Street, the Harlem of the South; from his early friendship with figures such as Maurice White (who went on to form Earth, Wind, and Fire) to the complicated dynamics of the racially mixed MGs—Jones not only was a witness to revolutions but also wrote their soundtracks. His musical legacy includes enduring compositions such as “Time Is Tight,” “Hip Hug-Her,” and the oftensampled “Melting Pot” and collaborations with the likes of Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, and Sam and Dave—and later Neil Young, Bob Dylan, Barbra Streisand, Carlos Santana, and Willie Nelson.
Years in the making, this unforgettable personal journey is so much more than just a musician’s tale. Indeed, Time Is Tight is both the definitive account of one of modern music’s most influential eras and also a necessary addition to the canon of literature about American music.
Booker T. Jones is an American multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, record producer, and arranger. Best known as the front man of the band Booker T. & the MGs, he has worked with countless award-winning artists of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries and has earned a Grammy Award for Lifetime Achievement. Along with the band, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1992. Jones continues to record and tour internationally, both as a solo artist and as head of Booker T.’s Stax Revue.

ABOUT SAM BUSH
Sam Bush has spent more than five decades redefining bluegrass, blending its traditional roots with rock, jazz, reggae, and improvisation to help create the progressive "newgrass" movement. Raised on a Kentucky cattle farm, Bush fell in love with the mandolin after seeing Ricky Skaggs perform with Flatt & Scruggs, becoming a champion fiddler before turning down an offer to join Roy Acuff's band in pursuit of a broader musical vision. In 1971, he co-founded New Grass Revival, a groundbreaking group that challenged bluegrass conventions and became one of the genre's most influential bands.
After 18 years with New Grass Revival, Bush launched a solo career while continuing to collaborate with artists including Emmylou Harris, Lyle Lovett, and Béla Fleck. A four-time IBMA Mandolin Player of the Year and recipient of the Americana Music Association's Lifetime Achievement Award for Instrumentalist, Bush has inspired generations of musicians and remains a beloved fixture on the festival circuit. Revered as the "King of Telluride," he continues to embody the adventurous spirit that has made him one of bluegrass music's most enduring innovators.

THE TRAVELIN’ McCOURYS
JOIN THE DIXIE FOR THE TRAVELIN’ McCOURYS - FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 11 AT 7:30P
Tickets range from $65-$85 (plus taxes).
ABOUT THE TRAVELIN’ McCOURYS
The Travelin’ McCourys didn’t begin as an idea. They began as momentum.
For Ronnie McCoury (mandolin) and Rob McCoury (banjo), bluegrass was never abstract. It was lived. They grew up on the road, on stage and inside the Del McCoury Band, learning the music the only way it truly gets learned – by playing it in front of real audiences, night after night, with no safety net.
They learned discipline first. Then responsibility. Then restraint.
For years, their role was clear: help carry one of the most respected bands in American music forward. Alongside Jason Carter, Mike Bub and later, Alan Bartram, they helped define what the modern Del McCoury Band sounded like. It’s precise, powerful, deeply rooted and audience-first.
But history doesn’t stand still. And neither did they.
By the late 1990s and early 2000s, bluegrass itself was moving into new rooms. Jam audiences were discovering acoustic music through curiosity rather than tradition. Festivals were changing. Set lengths were expanding. And improvisation was no longer a novelty; it became an expectation.
Ronnie and Rob didn’t stumble into their shift. They watched it happen up close. They saw what occurred when bluegrass met listeners who valued exploration. They saw how extended solos, unexpected covers and risk-taking created a different kind of electricity. And they began asking a quiet, necessary question: Where does this music go when the rules loosen?
The answer didn’t belong within the Del McCoury Band format. So they didn’t force it there.
Instead, it emerged naturally; after hours, late at night and eventually on its own terms.
What began informally at festivals slowly took shape into something far more defined. Joined by Alan Bartram (bass) and Cody Kilby (guitar), Ronnie and Rob began playing music that stretched further than tradition usually allowed. Songs opened up. Setlists became flexible. Improvisation stopped being occasional and became structural.
And it wasn’t about rebellion. It was about following the music where it wanted to go.
When DelFest launched, it became the ideal proving ground. The festival’s design of equal parts reverence and forward motion created a space where experimentation felt earned, not indulgent. Late-night sets turned into focal points. Word spread. Audiences leaned in.
What had started quietly now had gravity.
The Travelin’ McCourys began to solidify as a band built for that moment—rooted in bluegrass tradition, but fluent in the language of improvisation. The connections that had surrounded the McCoury family for years deepened into real collaborations. From onstage sit-ins and shared history with Phish to an ongoing relationship with String Cheese Incident, performances with the likes of Warren Haynes, Lukas Nelson, Sierra Ferrell, as well as traditionalists like Marty Stuart and David Grisman, plus a fully realized Grateful Ball performance reimagining the catalog of Grateful Dead through bluegrass.
The Grateful Ball wasn’t a side idea either; it clarified the band’s identity. These weren’t tributes or novelty sets, but rather translations—taking deeply familiar material and reshaping it with precision, improvisation and deep trust.
At the core of the band is musicianship at the highest level. Every founding member of The Travelin’ McCourys has earned at least one International Bluegrass Music Association Award for his instrument. This project is built on concept and ability.
When Christian Ward joined on fiddle, the band’s range expanded again. His modern, dynamic approach added lift, urgency and a sharper edge, pushing the sound further into its own territory.
The band’s self-titled debut album captured what audiences already understood: this wasn’t a side chapter or a satellite project. It was a fully formed band with a clear voice that draws from Bill Monroe and Del McCoury, and also from rock dynamics, jazz instincts and the freedom of improvisational music.
“A good song is a good song,” Ronnie says. “We just like finding new ways to play them.”
That philosophy defines The Travelin’ McCourys on stage: tight harmonies, fearless solos, setlists that breathe and a sense that each night is singular and unrepeatable.
Placed alongside the Del McCoury Band, the relationship becomes clear. It’s not a succession, not a shadow, but an expansion. One band built the architecture. The other explores its outer edges.

JON LANGSTON with NOAH HICKS
JOIN THE DIXIE FOR JON LANGSTON AND NOAH HICKS - SATURDAY, AUGUST 29 AT 7:30P
Tickets range from $35-$45 (plus taxes).
ABOUT JON LANGSTON
Jon Langston is a Georgia-born singer, songwriter, and electrifying country performer known for his blend of heartfelt storytelling and high-energy Southern grit. Born in 1991 in Loganville, GA, Jon’s journey to country music wasn’t a straight line. He originally pursued college football before a series of concussions ended his athletic career which turned his focus toward music instead.
Jon picked up a guitar he hadn’t played since eighth grade and taught himself to write and perform. His first self-penned song, “Forever Girl” became a breakthrough moment, eventually earning Gold Certification and helping him build a dedicated fan base through relentless touring and sold-out shows.
After independently releasing several EPs and capturing attention with his raw talent, Jon signed with UMG Nashville’s EMI Records Nashville as the first artist on Luke Bryan’s 32 Bridge Entertainment imprint. His major-label debut single, “When It Comes To Loving You” shot to No. 1 on the all-genre iTunes chart and solidified his place as a rising voice in modern country music.
In 2022, Jon achieved a lifelong dream by making his Grand Ole Opry debut, a milestone that highlighted his growing influence in the country scene. In 2023, he released his first full-length album, Heart On Ice, showcasing his evolution as a songwriter and performer with a mix of rowdy anthems and deeply personal tracks. Jon went independent following Heart On Ice and is set to release his first independent album, Thing About Me, on February 27th, 2026.
Known for his high-octane live shows and authentic connection with fans, Jon has shared the stage with some of country music’s biggest names on tours with artists like Luke Bryan and Cole Swindell. With nearly half-a-billion career streams and a growing catalog of fan-favorite songs, Jon Langston continues to expand his footprint while staying true to his small-town roots and love for honest storytelling.
ABOUT NOAH HICKS
Raised on a chicken farm in Carrollton, GA, Noah Hicks brings authenticity to Nashville's songwriting scene, backed by energetic live shows and a genuine connection with fans. He's shared stages with HARDY, Ernest, Justin Moore, and Parker McCollum, and played CMA Fest. Recently signed to Loop Artist Services, he's racked up over 100 million streams and collaborated with artists like Rhett Akins, Ashley Cooke, Travis Denning, and Jon Langston. His songs "I Can Tell You're Small Town" and "Dirt On It" have found organic traction — the former sparking a 29K-video TikTok trend, the latter becoming a staple in NFL and MLB stadiums. Grounded by his Georgia roots, Noah is a storyteller and entertainer just getting started.

THE FRONTMEN
JOIN THE DIXIE FOR THE FRONTMEN - SATURDAY, AUGUST 1 AT 7:30P
Tickets range from $73–$83 (plus taxes).
ABOUT THE FRONTMEN
With 30 No. 1 hits and 30 million albums sold, THE FRONTMEN are the voices behind the soundtrack of Friday night honkytonks, first kisses, and heartbreaks for over three decades. Fans may not always know their name, but they know every word to their songs.
The supergroup unites three powerhouse lead singers—Richie McDonald (formerly of Lonestar), Larry Stewart (of Restless Heart), and Tim Rushlow (formerly of Little Texas). Together, they deliver a high-energy show of 90s country anthems like “Amazed,” “The Bluest Eyes in Texas,” and “God Blessed Texas”—alongside fresh new music that defines THE FRONTMEN today.
They’ve shared the stage with Alabama, rocked the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, and wowed audiences with harmonies reminiscent of groups like The Eagles and Fleetwood Mac. As manager Tony Conway says, “When you take their stellar vocals and put them together on one stage, you have the best of the best.”
Each singer brings an impressive legacy: Restless Heart’s eight No. 1 hits, Little Texas’ ACM-winning classics, and Lonestar’s nine chart-toppers including “Amazed”—ACM Song of the Year and one of country’s biggest hits ever.
Born out of a decade-long idea and solidified after the pandemic, THE FRONTMEN turned their side project into their main stage. In 2023 they signed with BBR Music Group / BMG Nashville, releasing their self-titled debut in 2024, produced by GRAMMY nominee Mickey Jack Cones. The album blends original songs with reimagined versions of their greatest hits.
As McDonald puts it: “The beauty of the show is people can sit for two hours and say, ‘I sang along with every song.’” With undeniable chemistry, timeless hits, and new music, THE FRONTMEN are country’s hottest supergroup—better together than ever.
