NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Little Texas will perform acoustically at Vanderbilt’s Dyer Observatory Saturday, Sept. 23, at 7 p.m. Doors will open at 4 p.m. Tickets are $7 for students, $12 for Vanderbilt faculty/staff and Bluebird on the Mountain season ticket holders, and $15 for general public. There is also a $50 VIP ticket that will allow for pre-show access and a meet and greet with the band.
Parking is at Bethel World Outreach Church on the corner of Old Hickory and Granny White Pike in Brentwood. Shuttles will take ticket-holders to the observatory.
Proceeds from the concert will be used to expand observatory programs that provide hundreds of area students the chance to see the wonders of the stars and to interact with world-class explorers who are at the forefront of new discoveries.
“We are thrilled to be able to partner with Little Texas for this unique evening under the stars,” said Rick Chappell, executive director of the Vanderbilt Dyer Observatory. “Their music is full of the energy and passion that is typical of those who explore the unknown.”
Little Texas first entered the music scene in 1988. Five singles from their first album “First Time For Everything” reached the top of the charts. Their second album, “Big Time,” spawned three No. 1 singles with “What Might Have Been,” “God Blessed Texas” and “My Love.” The album captured the very first CMT award, a Billboard award, a Radio & Records award and a Grammy nomination, and to date has sold more than three million copies. After a six-year hiatus, the band has a new live album, a new single, “Rebel,” and a new studio album.
Vanderbilt Dyer Observatory is nestled high atop one of Nashville’s tallest peaks and surrounded by a wildlife refuge. Its mission is to connect people with exploration and to inspire students to pursue studies in science, mathematics and engineering. The observatory conducts a wide range of educational activities including teacher workshops, summer space camps and public exploration evenings.
