The Bologna Performing Arts Center at Delta State University has announced its return to live performances for the upcoming Spring and Summer.
The series will mark the BPAC’s 27th year of presenting live arts and entertainment.
“We are so excited to welcome audience members back to the BPAC” said Laura Howell, BPAC executive director. “We know things will look at little different during this Spring/Summer Series, and we appreciate everyone’s cooperation with making sure we reopen safely.”
Patrons can expect temperature checks and are required to wear masks while inside the BPAC.
The Spring/Summer Series begins on April 20 with The Allman Betts Band. The show features original music from their two recent albums, songs from their solo projects as well as classic songs by The Allman Brothers Band, the legendary group founded by Devon and Duane’s fathers, Gregg Allman & Dickey Betts. Originally scheduled to perform last spring, the band has agreed to give two performances in one night to allow for social distancing and reduced audience capacity.
On May 27, Grammy Award winner and Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Martha Reeves will take the stage. When looking for the perfect presentation of the Motown sound and style, few fit the bill as well as Martha and the Vandellas.
Their hits include the gospel-tinged “Nowhere to Run,” the classic soul favorite “My Baby Loves Me,” and the signature, “Dancing In The Street.”
Singer and songwriter with four platinum albums and a dozen No. 1 hits Clay Walker June 10.
The native Texan has written or co-written many of his biggest hits including “Live Until I Die,” “Rumor Has It” and “I Can’t Sleep.”
On July 1, The Marshall Tucker Band will close out the Spring/Summer Series.
Thanks to hits like “Can’t You See,” “Heard It In A Love Song,” “Fire On The Mountain,” and “24 Hours At A Time,” the 5-time Gold, 3-time Platinum-selling Southern Rock group has sold millions of albums worldwide. CMT named the MTB’s “Can’t You See” the #4 Greatest Southern Rock Song.
