SUMMARY:Anana Kaye - Big River Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Anana Kaye is a Georgian-American singer-songwriter and multidisciplinary artist based in Nashville\, Tennessee. Blending elements of Americana and alternative music\, Anana’s songs are intimate yet expansive\, driven by a husky\, arresting vocal style and a deep attention to lyric. She works in close collaboration with Irakli Gabriel\, her longtime creative partner and a Georgian-American musician and producer. \nGrowing up in a culture rich with deep musical traditions\, Kaye was profoundly influenced by the storytelling nature of Georgian music. That influence continues to shape her work\, particularly in the intricate nature of her arrangements\, melodies\, and vocal harmonies. \nAnana released her debut EP Sentient in 2016\, followed by her full-length album Detour in 2019. 2021 marked the release of Whispers And Sighs\, a collaboration with Americana pioneer David Olney. The album was written and recorded by Irakli Gabriel\, Anana Kaye\, and David Olney in Nashville\, Tennessee\, and was met with widespread acclaim and was featured in publications worldwide.  \nHer recent work on The Waterboys’ record Life\, Death and Dennis Hopper\, alongside Bruce Springsteen and Fiona Apple\, and her featured appearance on the album \nCan’t Steal My Fire with Steve Earle and Lucinda Williams\, have secured her musical reputation with remarkable speed. \nHer forthcoming studio album ‘Are You There?’ is set to be released in spring of 2026 \non Meridian/ECR Music Group. \nFriday\, September 11 • 7pm \nTickets: Adult: $17/$20 \nYouth 1/2 price\, \n10 & under ALWAYS free

SUMMARY:Jack Klatt - Big River Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Musical missionary and tireless troubadour Jack Klatt isn’t one to be easily categorized or relegated to a narrow niche. He comes across as a young man with a wizened and worldly perspective\, an artist who possesses a timeless sensibility of both place and purpose. Yet\, his artistic integrity extends to more than simply his songs. It embodies both execution and intent. The way he’s mastered his deft finger-picking technique and used that sturdy approach to bring his material an authenticity reminiscent of the most revered musicians and storytellers. \nA product of the nation’s heartland\, Klatt was born and bred in the twin cities. He dropped out of college before spending the next six years pursuing his wanderlust and hitch hiking across the country with nothing but a backpack and a Martin guitar. He eventually made his way overseas\, where he slept under the stars\, traded songs for spending money and enjoyed a life typical of one who’s a drifter and bohemian. All the while\, he made it his mission to proffer the songs of the American masters\, in the process\, he found himself captivated by the full gamut of archetypical American music\, and began to refashion it to suit his own style.

SUMMARY:Julie Patchouli - Big River Theatre
DESCRIPTION:For over 30 years and 5\,000 global concerts\, Julie Patchouli has defined the heart of the #1 charting folk duo Patchouli & Terra Guitarra. A professional multi-instrumentalist since age 18\, Julie built a legendary career alongside her husband and musical partner\, master guitarist Bruce Hecksel. After years of touring\, they settled in Maiden Rock\, WI\, in 2003\, becoming pillars of the music and art community through 22 years of concerts and exhibits.  In 2007 they created a second musical project\, Terra Guitarra that took off on the international scene winning “Best Instrumental Album of the Year” for Of Sea & Stars. The folk power couple joyfully crafted their sound of Folk meets Flamenco that City Pages described like “taking a yoga class in a field of running mustangs” with poetic lyrics\, sparkling vocals\, rhythmic steel strings and soulful Spanish guitar creating songs that “inspire the human spirit” -Chicago Tribune. \n \nThrough the years\, in the background of their thriving musical lives\, Bruce was also painting and many of his pieces became album artwork. In 2015 they created a multi-media production\, The Landscape of Guitar\, The Animated Painting Concert Experience\, a live music performance with projected animation of Hecksel’s Terra Guitarra® acrylic paintings of “guitar landscapes” where every element is a guitar shape\, colorfully glittering like stained glass that creates a vivid concert of frequency\, color and sound. \n \nPatchouli & Terra Guitarra presented this show several times at The Big River Theatre including in 2020 during the pandemic\, when they performed a monthly live stream concert from the empty theatre.  \nIn Spring 2025 they opened the Terra Guitarra Fine Art Gallery in Maiden Rock where Bruce painted and exhibited The Landscape of Guitar pieces as he created them on the canvas. \n \nTheir creative journey was a shared one until July 2025\, when Bruce passed away following a three-year battle with stage IV cancer. \n \nIn the wake of his passing\, Julie returned to the studio to complete their 23rd recording\, releasing the album Everything It Takes in April 2026. \n \n“The Big River theatre has been so supportive and formative in our artistic careers\,” Julie says\, “that I want to celebrate that connection to Bruce’s life in the Arts.” \n \nThis special performance of The Landscape of Guitar\, honors that legacy\, featuring fan-favorite classics alongside the new album songs\, while sharing Bruce’s vibrant animated paintings—a moving tribute to a partnership that transformed the landscape of international guitar folk.

SUMMARY:Forrest McCurren - Big River Theatre
DESCRIPTION:You may recognize Forrest from the CBS competition ‘The Road’ – but this time Forrest and Margaret McCurren will return to Big River Theatre for another night of songs\, story\, and spats of poetic soliloquy. It’s ALWAYS a good time with Forrest and Margaret – come on down!! Forrest McCurren comes from the heart of the heartland\, where the foothills of the Ozarks meet the Big Muddy: The Middle-of-Missouri. Blazing his own trail while stylistically tipping his hat to the songwriting giants of the past\, McCurren wields the magic of lyricism to cast a light on the many intricacies of everyday life set against vignettes of Middle America. Tackling topics such as: wise words from waitresses\, heartbroken high school football standouts\, and tattooed trailer park lovers\, McCurren writes songs for good people that got bad grades in school\, are drunk on dreams\, and still trying to figure out if life is sour or sweet.
