Description
Join Jimmy Fortune and his band for a socially distanced Christmas show! Enjoy an evening of Statler Brothers hits and get in the Christmas spirit with the sounds of the Season. Very limited tickets for this performance are available due to socially distanced seating.
Jimmy Fortune toured, sang and performed with the legendary Statler Brothers for 21 years. He wrote the group's second No. 1 hit, "Elizabeth," on their 1983 album Today, and followed that with two more No. 1 hits--"My Only Love" (from 1984's Atlanta Blue) and "Too Much On My Heart" (from 1985's Pardners in Rhyme). Fortune also wrote the top-10 hit "Forever" from 1986's Four for the Show and co-wrote the top-10 hit "More Than a Name on a Wall" from 1988's The Greatest Hits.
Jimmy and The Statler Brothers were inducted into the GMA (Gospel Music Association) Hall of Fame on October 29, 2007, and inducted into the CMA (Country Music Association) Hall of Fame on June 29, 2008. Jimmy, as a solo artist, was inducted into the Virginia Musical Hall of Fame in 2018.
After The Statler Brothers retired on October 26, 2002, Jimmy seized the opportunity to launch a solo career and record new projects, including his Hits and Hymns DVD which debuted at No 1 in all genres.
