Throughout their career, Blackberry Smoke has embodied Georgia’s rich musical legacy, honoring the people, places, and sounds of their home state. Their latest album, Be Right Here, draws inspiration from Southern rock, blues-leaning classic rock, and rootsy vintage country and is full of vivid and relatable characters that ensure the songs often resemble rich short stories. Over the past two decades, Blackberry Smoke has amassed a loyal fanbase, leading their last six full-length albums to achieve great chart success, including 2021’s You Hear Georgia, which reached #1 on Billboard’s Americana/Folk Albums chart and 2024’s Be Right Here, which reached the top 5 on the Top Current Album Sales chart. Touring relentlessly, the band knows a little something about hitting the road in order to find a place to belong, and supported by their strong fanbase known as “Brothers and Sisters,” legions of whom travel across the globe to support the band, they in turn give fans a place to belong.  The band has appeared across the globe on stages such as Austin City Limits, Bonnaroo, Summerfest, Glastonbury, Download UK, to name a few, and has no plans to stop anytime soon.

Experience an evening of joy, hope, and unshakeable   faith — featuring some of Christian music’s most compelling voices. Big Daddy Weave is one of Christian music’s most beloved bands, cherished for their honest storytelling and powerful anthems like “Redeemed,” “The Lion and the Lamb,” and “God Is In This Story.” The band—Mike Weaver, Jeremy Redmon, Joe Shirk, and Brian Beihl—faced a profound trial in 2022 with the death of founding member and Mike’s brother, Jay Weaver. Their testimony is rooted in a deep, personal faith that trusts God regardless of the circumstances. Big Daddy Weave continues to walk through every door God opens, sharing hits while living out the faith they sing about—proving that even in the hardest trials, God makes all things new. Caleb & John bring their signature sound: bold, joyful, and soaked in truth. With a #1 Christian radio hit (“Somebody Like Me” featuring CAIN), two K-LOVE Fan Award nominations, and a rapidly growing fanbase, their newest single, “Finished,” is a reminder that no matter what life looks like, God isn’t done yet. Carly Ann Taylor is a soulful vocalist, songwriter, and worship leader based in San Diego, California. Through her EP Changing My Story, Carly Ann shares her journey from brokenness, and abandonment to finding healing, hope, and salvation in Jesus Christ.

Following the sold-out success of 2025's “A Very Bristol Christmas,” King University Artist in Residence Aaron Blake is bringing twice the holiday cheer to the Paramount Center this December with two distinctive concert experiences. Mr. Blake, an internationally acclaimed tenor who regularly performs with The Metropolitan Opera and leading opera companies around the world, returns to host and perform in the audience favorite “A Very Bristol Christmas.” The community-centered concert showcases the remarkable musical talent of the Tri-Cities region through a festive blend of holiday classics, seasonal favorites, and contemporary surprises. New for 2026 is “Aaron Blake & Friends: A Very Bristol Christmas Cabaret,” an intimate evening starring Mr. Blake and featuring regional and national artists. Designed as a companion to the community concert, the show highlights exceptional vocal artistry, live musicianship, and brings the warmth and sophistication of New York City cabaret culture to the heart of Bristol – with a Christmas twist. “Live music creates a powerful sense of connection for everyone in the room,” Mr. Blake said. “Whether you're on stage or in the audience, it's an incredible energy to experience, and I can't wait to share these two joyful evenings with guest artists, family, and friends.” “Aaron Blake & Friends: A Very Bristol Christmas Cabaret” will take place Wednesday, Dec. 16, at 7 p.m., followed by “A Very Bristol Christmas 2026” on Friday, Dec. 18, at 7 p.m. The roster of guest artists joining Mr. Blake will feature familiar favorites including virtuosocellist Dave Eggar and pianist and composer Steve Sensenig, performers from the State Line Wind Symphony, regional student vocalists, and new guests to be announced in the coming weeks. Tickets for both events are now on sale through the Paramount Center box office and range from $15 to $55. For patrons who would like to enjoy the cabaret performance just steps away from the artists, a limited number of exclusive, onstage high-top tables are also available. Because the 2025 concert sold out weeks in advance, early ticket purchases are encouraged. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the King Fund for Scholarships & Programs. Patrons are encouraged to purchase tickets only through the Paramount Center box office, as tickets offered through third-party websites may not be authentic. “Aaron continues to be an extraordinary ambassador for the arts and arts education,” said Matt Roberts, Ed.D., provost at King. “His ability to cultivate talent, create exceptional musical experiences, and connect us all through music has become an important part of our cultural landscape, and we're grateful for his presence at King and in Bristol.”
