Long hair, tobacco, over-sized glasses and a trucker hat, Dusty Slay is the self-effacing bourbon-voiced Southern comedian next door with a knack for observational, blue-collar humor and the nerve to say what everyone else is thinking. He grew up the son of a single mom in an Alabama trailer park and evokes laughs about everything from Cracker Barrel to his aversion to soap. The 40-year-old Nashville native is a mainstay on the country music scene, making his Grand Ole Opry debut in 2019 – the youngest at the time, and adding dozens of appearances in the historic Circle ever since. He has also appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel Live, has a Comedy Central special to his credit and just released his first hour-long Netflix special "Workin' Man" that he filmed about three hours from home, at the Bijou theater in Knoxville, Tennessee. With almost 20 years of eliciting guffaws through his laidback observations, comedic cadence and conversational style, Dusty is just getting started bringing his brand of relatable working-class comedy to audiences coast to coast. Slay recently announced his 35-show “The Night Shift Tour” in support of the new special. See below for tour routing and more details can be found at DustySlay.com.

No Fear and Blues Long Gone: Nina Simone, written by acclaimed North Carolina poet and playwright Howard L. Craft, features renowned jazz artist Yolanda Rabun in an intimate portrayal of the groundbreaking talent and indomitable spirit of Nina Simone. This dynamic theatre piece with an onstage trio of accomplished musicians, directed by Kathryn Hunter-Williams, had its world premiere in 2019 at PlayMakers Repertory Company in Chapel Hill, NC, to sold-out audiences. It gives insight into Simone’s vast music repertoire, her sense of humor, her life perspective, and her tireless dedication to social justice. 

Nina Simone, a North Carolina native, born Eunice Kathleen Waymon in 1933, is considered one of the most influential artists of the 20th Century and a true hero of the Civil Rights movement.

Yolanda Rabun gives a powerhouse performance as the “High Priestess of Soul” in this extraordinary one-woman show that celebrates an unforgettable voice with a unique perspective on fear that is sure to stir souls and change lives. Combining Simone’s genre-bending songs with details from her incredible life story, playwright Howard L. Craft’s play captures an American cultural icon for an evening of theater that won’t soon be forgotten.
