Country Music Legend Coming to the Colonial Theater in Laconia

Ain't no ifs, ands, or buts about it, Randy Travis is a country music icon! He has brought us so many hits over the years, including my favorite "Forever and Ever, Amen".

After suffering a near-fatal stroke in 2013, Randy continues to make improvements and is ready to share his story and get close to his fans once again. On Sunday, August 27, Randy and Mary Travis will be front and center at the Colonial Theater in Laconia, New Hampshire. This special evening will be filled with stories from the Country Music Hall of Famer, and the health struggles and challenges that have faced them over the last 10 years. The 'Live On Stage' Interview will be hosted by CMA Winning Radio Personality Kevin Richards.

The iconic songs of Randy Travis will be performed by New England's Nashville Bound Duo, Martin, and Kelly. Ryan Kelly and Jilly Martin were instrumental in bringing this show to New Hampshire. After hearing of the success of the 'Up Close & Personal' Randy Travis show in Glens Falls, New York, they rallied for the country music fans of New England to get the chance to enjoy the same experience with this beloved legend. The Travis' quickly agreed to join Richards back in Upstate NY (8/26), and add New Hampshire (8/27) to the Northeast visit to get close to more fans.

In addition to the stories and songs, the crowd will unite their voices in a piano-bar style sing-along to start the show with CMA Winning Radio Personality Richie Phillips. How fun does that sound?!

Kevin Richards says:

"If you are a fan of Traditional Country Music, this is your chance to see the man who 'made' our genre in the mid-80s., realizing many of us never thought we'd ever be in his presence again (after the stroke in 2013). This will be a once-in-a-lifetime experience- an inspiring, magical journey for the 'real' fan of Country Music!"

Martin and Kelly, who have performed and written with some of Nashville's finest, are honored to share the stage. They said:

"Words can’t describe what an honor it is to be a part of this show with the one and only Randy Travis! We couldn’t be more thrilled to share the stage with such a country music legend at one of our favorite venues, in Ryan’s home state!"

Tickets are available on the Colonial Theater's website, or you can win a pair on Throw Back Thursdays with Kira & Logan in the Morning.
