November is shaping up to be one of the biggest months of the season at the Performing Arts Center at Kent State University – Tuscarawas, with four very different nights of live entertainment on the schedule: legendary rock band Kansas, country powerhouse Ashley McBryde, innovative string trio Simply Three, and rock ’n’ roll favorites Three Dog Night.
The month kicks off with Kansas on November 1, bringing the band’s progressive-rock classics and decades of hits to New Philadelphia. Fans can expect an unforgettable night of music featuring songs that have become part of the soundtrack of American rock.
Next up is Grand Ole Opry member Ashley McBryde on Friday, November 6. The GRAMMY®, CMA and ACM Award winner brings her Into The Wild Tour to New Philadelphia following the release of her fifth studio album, Wild. Known for her powerful voice, fearless songwriting and electrifying performances, McBryde promises an evening of country music with plenty of edge.
On Tuesday, November 10, Simply Three brings its unique blend of strings and contemporary music to the PAC.
All tickets are just $20, and the evening will include a special appearance by the Dover High School Orchestra, giving local students the opportunity to share the stage with world-class musicians. Simply Three will also visit four local elementary schools while in the area providing arts access to local students. Support for the educational workshop and outreach was received from the Dover Eagles 515, the Hugh A. Fraser Fund, Dover Exchange Club and from individual contributions to the Performing Arts Center’s Education Fund.
Rounding out the month is Three Dog Night on Wednesday, November 12. The legendary group continues to deliver the hits that have made them a fixture of American rock music, including “Joy to the World,” “One,” “Mama Told Me (Not to Come)” and “Black and White.”
Whether it’s classic rock, country, contemporary strings or the timeless hits of Three Dog Night, November offers four opportunities to get out, hear great music and make a night of it at the PAC. All shows start at 7:30 p.m.
Tickets for all four performances are available through the Performing Arts Center box office at 330-308-6400 or online at www.kent.edu/tuscpac. The box office is open Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
