Tickets will go on sale on Tuesday, March 18 at 10 a.m. EST. Tillis worked with his long-time friend and Bremen-native Harold Shedd while at the Music Mill in Nashville. The Harold Shedd Music Gallery is scheduled to open later in 2014. Mill Town Music Hall focuses on wholesome, family-friendly music and events and is located conveniently off I-20 in Bremen (1031 Alabama Avenue).
Tillis has recorded more than 60 albums since the late 1950s. Thirty-six of his songs have reached Top 10 status (with nine going to Number One). Some of his Top 10 Hits include, I Ain't Never, Good Woman Blues and Coca-Cola Cowboy. In 2012, President Barack Obama awarded Tillis the National Medal of Arts for his contributions to country music. He has been awarded both Entertainer of the Year and Comedian of the Year by the Country Music Association (CMA). He has also been inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. Tillis has appeared in numerous feature films, including Every Which Way But Loose with Clint Eastwood and Cannonball Run with Burt Reynolds, and he played the lead role in Uphill All the Way with Roy Clark. His daughter is country music singer Pam Tillis.
Plans are underway to open the Harold Shedd Music Mill Gallery, a non-profit extension at Mill Town Music Hall, to serve as a tourist attraction which celebrates music history connected to the state of Georgia. Once built, the gallery will honor the renowned country music executive/producer Harold Shedd. A Georgia Music Hall of Fame Inductee, Shedd worked with artists such as Alabama, Toby Keith, Shania Twain, Reba McEntire, Billy Ray Cyrus and many others. Currently, he's working with Alabama on their latest album and tour. Proceeds from this concert will help with the construction costs related to the gallery.
