Closing out the season is Brothers of the Heart, a unique combination of individual and star power talents from the Gaither Music Group members Jimmy Fortune, Bradley Walker, Mike Rogers and Ben Issacs.
Among many others, NPAC is pleased to welcome classic country legends Shenandoah, Sawyer Brown and John Anderson. For classic rock fans, patrons will enjoy one of the most highly sought-after tribute bands in the world, Creedence Revived. Don’t miss Forever Seger: The Silver Bullet Experience, the timeless music journey of Bob Seger. Back by popular demand, Stayin’ Alive: One Night of the Bee Gees is the quintessential tribute band capturing their unique vocal sound and forever musical tunes! FireHouse will take fans back to the early ’90s when hair bands ruled and rock legend Bret Michaels will get fans on their feet. Reminisce with The Guess Who, the legendary Canadian Rock band who hit the tops of the charts in the late ’60s and early ’70s.
At NPAC, it’s the most wonderful time of the year beginning with vocal group Home Free for the Holidays, an uplifting evening of Nashville – dipped holiday music, incredible harmonies, and quick-witted humor – all guaranteed to get listeners in the holiday spirit. Be sure not to miss Rhythm of the Dance Christmas Special, an Irish spectacular with the added touch of Christmas Magic featuring world-class musicians and dancers, and star vocalists! Concluding our holiday performances is David Phelps, It Must Be Christmas Tour.

To shake off the cold weather blues, we welcome to the NPAC stage Dean Z – The Ultimate Elvis, a musical journey spanning the 20-year career of the “King of Rock ‘n’ Roll,” from his rise to fame in the 50s, to his infamous Las Vegas performances of the 70s. Rhonda Vincent and The SteelDrivers will put on two of the best bluegrass jam sessions around, while Chris Janson is the go-to guy for the young country. Husband and wife duo Drew and Ellie Holcomb collaborate for an evening of pure americana sound.
