Jimmy Ritchey
Tim Rushlow
Historic Fox Theatre Restorations will be presenting Jimmy Ritchey and Friends at 8 p.m. Friday, April 22, at Centralia’s Fox Theatre.
Centralia native Jimmy Ritchey and Friends will be live in concert for one night only. Ritchey’s guests include former Little Texas frontman Tim Rushlow and local crooner Chris Guenther, who will open the show for the duo.
Ritchey is a Nashville producer and songwriter.
This will be an opportunity for fans to get up close and personal with an award-wining songwriter and producer, and a multi-platinum, multi-award winning artist, and to hear their hits and the stories behind them.
In the span of just a decade, Ritchey has co-written six top-10 hits, produced albums for seven multi-platinum artists, played guitar on dozens of recording sessions and created his own song-publishing company.
As a songwriter, Ritchey has earned wide respect with George Strait’s “I Gotta Get to You” and “Twang,” Terri Clark’s “If You Want Fire,” Mark Chesnutt’s “Things to Do in Wichita” and Jake Owen’s career breakthroughs “Don’t Think I Can’t Love You,” “Startin’ With Me” and “The One That Got Away.”
More than 40 of Ritchey’s songs have been recorded by major artists.
Rushlow is no stranger to the stage, having grown up in a musical family. Rushlow has sold over 11 million records, won CMA awards, ACM awards, has had over 20 top-10 hits, including several No. 1 hits, and received three Grammy nominations.
Rushlow’s hit songs include “What Might Have Been,” “God Blessed Texas,” and “Amy’s Back in Austin,” among others.
Last fall, Ritchey and Rushlow teamed up to produce Rushlow’s “Classic Christmas” and are currently working on “Tim Rushlow & His Big Band,” coming to public television this November and on tour in 2016.
VIP table single-seat tickets are available for $50 per person while supplies last. General admission is $35 per person. Doors open at 7 p.m. A no-host bar will be available for those 21 and over.
Presale tickets are available on Brown Paper Tickets at http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/2526728, at Book ‘n’ Brush in Chehalis, and Holley’s Place, Centralia.
Proceeds from the show will benefit the restoration of the Fox Theatre.
