Extended Weekend Getaways Parker McCollum
Feb. 2/COLUMBUS – 7:30 p.m. at the Palace Theatre. By 13, McCollum began writing songs; by 16, he began playing clubs. A stint in college didn’t last — McCollum spent more time in class writing songs than paying attention. After five years of full-time touring, McCollum made good on his promise to his father, signing with Universal Music Group. “Pretty Heart,” his first single with UMG, went straight to the top of the country charts. It appears on his album, Gold Chain Cowboy, the title reflecting McCollum’s desire for success — a man that’s earned enough to wear a gold chain — with the down-home appeal of living as a simple cowboy, just like his grandfather. Chances are, Parker McCollum will have a little of both. After winning New Male Artist of the Year at the 2022 American Country Music Awards, an exciting future awaits.

Phil Dirt & The Dozers
Jan. 27/MARION – 7 p.m. at the Marion Palace Theatre. This classic rock n’ roll band will transport you to another time and place. Remember when life was simpler, the world was smaller and the cost of a new Chevy was about $2,000.00? A time when cool cars cruised the local teenage haunts and the radio was always rockin’ the latest tunes? The Dozers perform the intricate vocal harmonies of the Beach Boys, Four Seasons, the Eagles and many more to perfection. They are known for hits “Walk Like A Man,” “Wouldn’t It Be Nice,” “Marlena,” and “Surfer Girl,” & more. For tickets, visit https://marionpalace.org/events/
