Fowler Center Series presents Larry Gatlin and the Gatlin Brothers

Nov. 27, 2007 -- Arkansas State University’s Fowler Center Series continues on Monday, Dec. 10, at 7:30 p.m., when Larry Gatlin and the Gatlin Brothers present a combination of seasonal favorites and many of their hit tunes in Riceland Hall, Fowler Center, 201 Olympic Drive, Jonesboro. This concert is the third of four concerts in the Riceland Distinguished Performance Series.

More than 50 years ago, Larry, Steve, and Rudy Gatlin started singing in their hometown of Abilene, Texas, and from there went on to make music history, going from dusty Texas stages to White House performances, from Broadway to the Grammy Awards, and to the top of the country charts. Their hits include “Denver,” “Houston (Means I'm One Day Closer To You),” “The Midnight Choir,” “She Used To Be Somebody’s Baby,” “Don't Want To Cry,” and Larry Gatlin’s “All The Gold In California.”

Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, the Gatlin Brothers lit up major marquees and packed concert halls across America. Now, back on the road again, they are bringing their Christmas show to Riceland Hall. Gatlin Brothers’ concerts have been called magical events, marked by their incredible family harmonies, consummate professionalism in performance, and pure enjoyment for both performers and audience. From their teenaged years when they recorded their first religious album for the independent Sword and Shield label, to their frequent performances in Branson, the Gatlin Brothers still love to sing together.
