Lloyd Wood and his band will be performing his classic Country and Comedy show in person at the Mitchell Opera House on Saturday, March 4th at 7:00 p.m.!
Lloyd Wood and his band are an Opera House fan favorite!
As a singer, songwriter, guitarist, and vocal impressionist, Lloyd first gained a solid regional following as Lloyd Wood and the Little Nashville Express, the house band for the Little Nashville Opry. They opened the show for most of the bigger acts in country music in the late 1970s and early 80s and gained a following among regional country fans. The pride of Indiana, Lloyd is also a recipient of the Sagamore of the Wabash: the highest honor bestowed by an Indiana Governor.
Lloyd couldn’t perform without showing off his impressive impersonations of the likes of George Jones, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Elvis, and even Tiny Tim. No matter the performance or size of the venue, when it comes to Lloyd Wood, this man loves the Lord, his family, the Hoosier state, and his country. Not only will you enjoy his music but also his humor, which is why it’s often called the Lloyd Wood Show.
The show will begin promptly at 7 p.m., and doors will open at 6:15 p.m.! Tickets are $20 for adults and $10 kids 12 and under. Be sure to get your tickets before they sell out!

Agatha Christie's "Murder on the Orient Express"
2023-03-03 19:30 | Little Theatre of Bedford, 1704 Brian Ln Way, Bedford, IN, 47421, United States
LIVE PRODUCTION AT LITTLE THEATRE OF BEDFORD

Just after midnight, a snowdrift stops the Orient Express in its tracks. The luxurious train is surprisingly full for the time of the year, but by the morning it is one passenger fewer. An American tycoon lies dead in his compartment, stabbed eight times, his door locked from the inside. Isolated and with a killer in their midst, the passengers rely on detective Hercule Poirot to identify the murderer – in case he or she decides to strike again.
“Agatha Christie’s Murder on the Orient Express” is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc.

Jake Hoot - Live
2023-02-25 19:00 | The Mitchell Opera House, 217 North 7th Street, Mitchell, IN, 47446, United States
JAKE HOOT
Celebrating the release of his debut project Love Out Of Time, the 5-song EP features an all-star lineup of musicians and songwriters including Dean Sams, Danny Myrick, Jenne Fleenor, Dave Pahanish, Jamie Floyd and more. The new project also features a duet with international superstar Kelly Clarkson entitled “I Would’ve Loved You.” Upon its release, Love Out Of Time reached No. 2 on both the iTunes All-Genre Albums and Country Albums chart while “I Would’ve Loved You” reached No. 3 on the iTunes Country Singles Chart. Hoot and Clarkson also unveiled a music video for the ‘majestic’ (Rolling Stone Country) “I Would’ve Loved You” duet which has accumulated more than 8 million views, been featured on TODAY with Hoda & Jenna and is in broadcast rotation on CMT. The former contestant and coach recently reunited to perform “I Would’ve Loved You” on The Kelly Clarkson Show and The Voice semi-finals.
Following his record-breaking win on NBC’s The Voice, Hoot has gone on to release several tracks including “Tennessee Strong,” which reached Top 10 in the iTunes Country Singles chart, debut single “Dangerous Thing,” special Father’s Day song, “The Best Job I Ever Had,” heartwarming love song, “Nadine” and rowdy summer anthem “Night Left.” Drawing inspiration from his childhood in the Dominican Republic, Hoot released a cover of “La Bamba” from his debut EP which landed in the Top 10 on the iTunes Latin charts. Ringing in his favorite time of year, Hoot’s first original holiday track “When Christmas Has Come And Gone” featuring multi-platinum Canadian trio The Tenors, is was released November 19th.
Much of Hoot’s sincere humility could be attributed to his unique and adventurous life growing up as the 2nd of 9 siblings to Missionary parents. Born in Texas, Hoot led quite the gypsy childhood having lived in Oklahoma, Haiti, and an 11-year stint in the Dominican Republic where he first learned to play guitar. Fluent in Spanish, Hoot credits his diverse musical influence to his time on the island. The singer/songwriter relocated to Tennessee at 20-years-old where he began gigging and attended Tennessee Tech University as a walk-on football player.
There is no denying that Hoot is a natural philanthropist and gives back as much as possible. During his stint on The Voice, Hoot created a charitable merchandise line and was able to donate more than $15,000 to local organizations in his hometown of Cookeville, TN. Hoot is now proving to be a road warrior, performing dates across the US every weekend including opening slots for Alabama, Darius Rucker, Jordan Davis, Big & Rich and Rodney Atkins. Currently amassing over 10 million streams, nearly 90K downloads and gearing up for his 10th Grand Ole Opry performance, the future proves promising for this mega-talent with a heart of gold.
Doors will open at 6:15 p.m.
Seating is first come, first served.
Mitchell Opera House has handicap accessible parking and seating areas.
Tickets are $40 for adults and $20 for 12 year olds and under.

THE MUSIC OF SIMON & GARFUNKEL

The duo is on a mission to share this iconic music to new audiences around the country.
Both artists were heavily inspired by the great 70s singer-songwriters, but their unique ability to channel the sounds of Simon & Garfunkel is immediately apparent when you hear them perform these classics songs live.
