 The B-52s
Presented by: AM Productions
Thursday, September 30, 2010, 8:00 PM
The first of many acts to cement the college town of Athens, GA as a hotbed of alternative music, The B-52's took their name from the Southern slang for the mile-high bouffant wigs sported by singers Kate Pierson and Cindy Wilson, a look emblematic of the band's campy, thrift-store aesthetic. In 1979, they issued their self-titled debut album, which scored an underground club hit with "Rock Lobster." In 1989, they released Cosmic Thing which launched several hit singles, including the party smash "Love Shack," and "Roam". 2008 found the band returning with a new album for the first time in 16 years. Released by Astralwerks, Funplex, was a slick, synthesizer-driven effort produced by Steve Osborne.
Tickets: $128, $78, $58, $38

 Dublin's Traditional Irish Cabaret
Presented by: Count Basie Theatre
Sunday, February 27, 2011, 3:00 PM
Kick off the St. Patrick's season with a celebration of Irish music, song and dance! It's entertainment for the whole family when Noel V. Ginnity, "One of the world's top 50 comedians," according to the Irish Sun, takes the stage with tenor Paul Hennessy, soprano Emer Hartnett, accordionist Ailbe Grace; Uillean Pipes player Tommy Keane, Music Director Pat Marnane and Dublin's Traditional Irish Dancers. From traditionals like "Danny Boy" and "Galway Bay" to modern day classics, this show has a touch of nostalgia for every Irish heart.

 Louie Anderson
Presented by: Count Basie Theatre
Friday, March 11, 2011, 8:00 PM
Louie Anderson, the Emmy Award winning comedian who stars in his own show at the Excalibur in Las Vegas, wrote his first routines about childhood as one of eleven siblings. The 1981 Midwest Comedy Competition lead to writing one-liners for Henny Youngman, and an '84 debut on "The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson". Letterman, Comic Relief, Showtime and HBO Specials soon followed. He's created memorable roles in films like Coming to America and Ferris Bueller's Day Off, and on TV shows like "Scrubs". He's hosted network shows such as "Family Feud", and produced the award winning Saturday morning animated series "Life with Louie". He is the author of three best sellers; the latest is "The F Word, How to Survive Your Family", a collection of 49 family survival tips.
Tickets: $25, $19.50
