Drive-By Truckers, Chris Robinson, Drivin’ N’ Cryin’ to Play Fox Event

In celebration of Georgia’s historic theaters and the Fox Theatre Institute’s (FTI) 10th year of preserving and supporting them, Kevn Kinney will host an all-star evening of musical entertainment at the Fox on Sept. 13, called Revival. With performances by Drive-By Truckers, the Chris Robinson Brotherhood, Kinney’s group Drivin’ n’ Cryin’ and Dodd Ferrell & the Councilmen (Bill Berry, David Barbe and John Keane), this unique storytelling event is inspired by the FTI’s mission to serve historic theaters and arts centers throughout the state. Since its founding in 2008, the FTI has committed more than $13 toward that cause.

“Empowering performing arts centers by providing them with the tools they need to strengthen their vitality within their communities is at the heart of the Fox Theatre Institute’s mission,” says vice president and chief operating officer of the Fox Theatre, Adina Erwin. “We look forward to celebrating, honoring and, most importantly, serving Georgia’s historic theaters with patrons and beneficiaries of the Institute alike for the tenth year.”

“I remember walking through the same doors that my parents did 50 years before and looking up at the Fox Theatre’s grand ornate lobby and feeling like everyone here was special,” offers Kinney. “To me, that’s what makes the Fox Theatre Institute so remarkable. Theaters hold our memories and stories in their walls, where people have laughed, cried and come together. The Fox Theatre Institute helps preserve the fond recollections of a simpler time and represents what community means, and it is an honor for me to support those efforts.”

With more notable guests expected to be added to the lineup as the event nears, tickets are $35-$75 and are on sale now.
