Darke County Center for the Arts
DCCA presents Grand Ole Opry Star Marty Stuart 

Traditional country music star Marty Stuart will appear in concert with his band The Fabulous Superlatives at Henry St. Clair Memorial Hall in Greenville on Saturday, November 10; the show begins at 8 p.m. “Darke County Center for the Arts feels most fortunate to have secured a performer of this magnitude,” stated DCCA Artistic director Keith Rawlins. Known as one of country music's most eclectic artists, Marty Stuart started out singing gospel music as a child, then played bluegrass with Lester Flatt, and spent six years with Johnny Cash before becoming a four-time Grammy winner with his own distinctive brand. Now starring in The Marty Stuart Show on RFD-TV which also features other country greats including his wife Connie Smith, the artist is credited with being crucial to the preservation of the music he loves. 

Prior to the concert, Marty Stuart's Manager Bobby Roberts will share from his experience in the entertainment business emphasizing the important impact of music in the classroom. This pre-show discussion is free and open to the public, and will begin at 7 p.m. at Henry St. Clair Memorial Hall. 

According to Mr. Rawlins, Marty Stuart strongly believes in the importance of roots music, and has evolved into a highly revered practitioner of the genre. “Marty says that country music is timeless, an empowering force that transcends trends to make a difference in lives. That belief underlies the energy and joy which infuse Marty's sensational concerts,” Rawlins said. “And he sings almost every song he ever knew at his shows: you'll be surprised how many of them are your own favorites,” Rawlins concluded. 

Sponsors for the Marty Stuart concert are Greenville Technology Inc. and the Bistro Off Broadway. Darke County Center for the Arts also receives financial support from Harry D. and Esther Stephens Memorial, Ketrow Foundation, and the Lydia E. Schaurer Memorial Trust Fund. This engagement is supported by the Arts Midwest Touring Fund, a program of Arts Midwest, which is generously supported by the National Endowment for the Arts with additional contributions from Ohio Arts Council. Additionally, the Ohio Arts Council helps fund this program with state tax dollars to encourage economic growth, educational excellence and cultural enrichment for all Ohioans.
