Paducah, KY
With Woody Pines
MISS TESS and THE TALKBACKS [Thomas Bryan Eaton on electric guitar, and a rotating cast on the bass and drums] regularly steal the show at venues with something a little rowdier and more eclectic. Infused with classic country and honky-tonk, southern blues, New Orleans jazz and swing, and sounds of swamp pop and early rock n' roll, she and her band take pride they are able to blend so many different styles of American roots music and call it their own.

Paducah, KY
Adapted by Christopher Sergel, from the book by S.E. Hinton. No one ever said life was easy. But Ponyboy is pretty sure that he's got things figured out. He knows that he can count on his brothers and friends. And when it comes to the Socs-a vicious gang of rich kids who enjoy beating up on "greasers" like him and his friends - he knows that he can count on them for trouble. But one night someone takes things too far, and Ponyboy's world is turned upside down.
