Mac McAnally
Saturday, July 30, 2005
Southern culture at its finest . . . a modern-day Faulkner, alive and well in the music business
Door 7:30pm, Music 8:00pm | Purchase advance tickets: $17.50

Mississippi-born singer-songwriter veteran, Mac McAnally is a diverse and richly creative talent. Over three decades of music-making, the noted producer, session player, band member, comic, and story teller has written some of country music's biggest hits (Alabama�s "Old Flame," "Cafe On The Corner" for Sawyer Brown and Ricky Van Shelton�s hit, "Crime Of Passion"), played guitar for artists from Roy Orbison and Hank Williams Jr. to Nanci Griffith and Mary Chapin Carpenter, and enjoyed a long standing artistic association with Jimmy Buffett, as cowriters and as a member of Jimmy's Coral Reefer Band.

Tonight's show is probably pretty well summed up by Mac's latest album title, Semi-True Stories. With an incisive pen and a smoky voice, he mixes humor with his own brand of truth in original country, rock, jazz, and gospel-tinged songs about the South and the realities of the world. As Mac himself says, "My shows are roughly 40% storytelling and 60% music . . . Southern culture at its finest."
