I have intended to see The Chieftains for many years. This time I got a front row seat and thoroughly enjoyed the show. All my expectations of the group were exceeded. And the collection of local guest talents, musicians and dancers, was quite entertaining as well. It was a satisfying evening, pleasant and charming. Don't miss seeing the show if you get a chance.

Clannad is still going strong after forming in the 70's. Moya Brennan, lead vocalist and harp player sounded amazing. Her voice is so pure and at times haunting. Her brother Pol Brennan harmonized beautifully. Clannad played songs from their newest album Nadur released in 2013. New songs included Vellum, Rhapsody na gCrann, and Brave Enough. The oldies but goodies included I will Find You, Theme From Harry's Game, In a Lifetime, and a medley of the Robin Hood songs. The concert was just shy of two hours. It was a wonderful music experience.

Loved,loved the Irish Rovers,these guys are so talented and entertaining.Great Songs and Entertainment from start to end, the Southern Theater is a real nice older venue with amazing decor and the seats are very comfy,Parking was close by and very cheap.

I've been to many concerts but this by far was the best one I've ever been to. We we're in the 2nd row right in front of Billy and my husband was even able to get his autograph. And the ticket prices weren't outrages either. Only complaint I have was he didn't play one of my favorite songs that reminds me of my girls. "GET READY, GET SET, PLEASE DON'T GO ". BUT I definitely enjoyed it so so much. Thank you Billy Ray Cyrus and his band.

NOBODY rocks harder than these guys. They get better and better.

They haven't lost a beat, incredible musicianship tied to tight, clean vocal harmonies w/ a genuine love of their fan base. Best unplugged show I've ever seen, one of the best concerts I've ever seen!

Wonderful show! The only way it could ve been any better is if they had played a little longer. Sibling harmonies were spot on, song selection was great, band was superb. I hope for their success in the future. They are worth going to see!

Riders in the Sky is a wonderful group of talented musicians who have preserved the old west music for over 40 years. Their concert was entertaining, informative, and fun! The venue is perfect for this type of show, we love Scherr Forum theater!

Sang a variety of music from show tunes to country. Very enjoyable. Voices better than ever! Great to meet them!

First I want to say that Mel Tillis is beyond amazing! His unique blend of comedy, story telling and great music is what has earned him such a legendary status as well as a spot in the Country Music Hall of Fame. Mel sings just as great at 79 as he did at 39! I was suprised at his energy level, he ran around on the stage and performed a lot of physical comedy. He also met with fans before and after the show, posed for pictures and signed autographs. He didn't rush anyone and spent a lot of time with the people. He is a very kind man who truly cares about his fans. What TRULY suprised me was that a long while ago I had sent Mel Tillis a CD that I myself had recorded and wrote him a letter about how much I loved traditional Country music. I didn't say a word- he recognized me from the picture on my CD! He said "I know I know y-y-y-you from somewhere"! He then asked "didn't you write to me and send me a CD"? I said yes and he proceeded to tell me how much he enjoyed my CD and made wonderful comments about my singing. At first I thought he was just being polite but then he rattled off every single song I did on the CD!!! What a kind man. I was in awe of him to say the least! If you like traditional country music, go see Mel Tillis- You WILL NOT be dissapointed! All of this being said- The concert itself was BEYOND amazing and Mel is a truly talented man beyond belief, BUT- I must say the the VENUE itself was HORRIBLE. The Wheeling Showroom was cramped. It was over 1000 metal chairs cramped into a room that should only hold 500. It was hot and uncomfortable. Also, the floor had no incline so all the seats were on a flat surface at the same level. If a tall person sat in front of you you were screwed. I myself am tall (6'4") and I felt bad so I sat crouched down in a horribly uncomfortable position so the people behind me could see. I gave the concert 5 stars because it truly was one of the best performances I have ever seen, but if I were asked to rate the venue itself there wouldn't be a rating low enough. It was HORRIBLE. Also they were strict about the time limit and even Mel Tillis made a comment about that. His great show made up for the showrooms horrible conditions! It was so good that it made you forget how uncomfortable you were!
