Renaissance Theatre announces lineup for 2024-25 season
The upcoming season at the Renaissance Theatre features national acts on back-to-back weekends in January.
Country music group Sawyer Brown will take the stage Jan. 11, followed by Take 6 Jan. 18.
Sawyer Brown has released 18 studio albums and has charted more than 50 times, including three No. 1 singles: "Step That Step," "Some Girls Do" and "Thank God for You."
The band's sound is largely defined by country pop and rock music influences, with cover versions of songs by George Jones, Michael Johnson and Dave Dudley also among their hit singles.
Take 6 is an American a cappella gospel sextet formed in 1980 on the campus of Oakwood College in Huntsville, Alabama. The group integrates jazz with spiritual and inspirational lyrics. Take 6 has received several Grammy Awards as well as Dove Awards, a Soul Train Award and nominations for the NAACP Image Award.
The rest of the 2024-25 season at the Renaissance features a variety of entertainment.
"We've worked hard to bring a season of entertainment for our community that has something for everyone," said Renaissance President and CEO Chelsie Thompson. "With a free symphony concert to kick off our season and a variety of affordable pricing options, including subscriptions and memberships, we want to ensure the community knows we are here to serve and provide a space where everyone can experience and enjoy all that the arts have to offer."
