country tonite 
#1 SHOW IN THE SMOKIES

Let's all go "Country Tonite!"  It's the thing to do in the Great Smoky Mountains because.... It's fun!  It's exciting!  The Country Tonite Show has been, and continues to be awarded the "best show of the year" every single year!  It's easy to see why this live stage performance is so amazing!  It's a full two-hour production filled with great music, amazing talent, stylish wardrobes, and stunning backdrops.  Country Tonite is a high energy show filled with singing, dancing, comedy skits, patriotic salutes, and youth performers all coming together to celebrate a Faith, Family, and Freedom!   New features have been added for 2019 which makes this show bigger and better than ever before!  

The Lord is my strong defender; he is the one who has saved me.  He is my God, and I will praise him, my father's God, and I will sing about his greatness (Exodus 15:2)

POWERFUL GOSPEL - The Country Tonite Show brings FAITH to the stage by lifting up the glory of God  in praise, and song.  It's a spiritual time during the show when the name of our Lord and Savior is lifted up.  It's a time of celebrating Christ and offering praise to the one who came to die on an old rugged cross and resurrected so that we may be cleansed by his blood and receive an eternal home in Heaven.  This part of the show brings beautiful photos to the huge on-stage screen as the performers lift their voices in honor, glory, and praise to the King.

CLASSIC COUNTRY - Awesome classic country music brings the stage to life with the biggest hits in country music.  It's high-flyin', toe tappin', foot stompin' country that every member of the FAMILY loves to hear.  The show's talented performers remember the Giants in the industry that include Johnny Cash, George Jones, Loretta Lynn, our own Dolly Parton, and more.  The sequined cowboy/cowgirl attire is quite impressive, however. those dramatic,high energy dance moves are what's sure to bring you to your feet!  Everyone is dazzled by the excitement that happens onstage!  From beginning to end, I'm sure you'll agree this segment is purely and simply filled with everything you expect to hear and see when you go "Country Tonite!" 

SALUTE TO VETERANS - FREEDOM is NOT free!  The United States of America is the great country she is today because of the freedoms we have been blessed with!  There is a price that must be paid!  Sacrifices that must be made!  The Country Tonite Theater does not perform a single show without recognizing our veterans,  those who have served,  and those men and women who continue to serve in our armed forces.  Patriotic songs are performed as a deep respect for our flag in all her glory is flown gallantly onstage.  Performers in their astonishing patriotic wardrobe harmonize those famous lyrics that make us all proud to be  Americans!   It's a time when everyone in the audience are brought to their feet in a standing ovation as we stand proud with the red, white, and blue and pay tribute to the "land of the free and the home of the brave!"

SIDE SPLITTIN' COMEDY - Don't let the crazy antics of Bubba - the Redneck Ranger blow you away!  He always manages to do an excellent job of interrupting the show and giving emcee Kevin Wilson a hard time.  He just has a way of "knocking your socks off "with some of the wildest and kookiest stuff the south has ever known.  Bubba's dream has always been to sing and dance onstage!  Finally, He makes his big debut!  His star-studded costume brings out the Bubba no one has ever known before!  He sings amazing tunes from lyrics he penned himself!  Songs like, "If My Nose Was Money I'd Blow It All On You"  Bubba's performance is a comical,  life-changing performance you'll never forget!  And just when you think it can't get any crazier, family members like "Me-Maw show up (and really complicate matters)  but mostly,  Bubba manages to handle "stupid" pretty well all by himself!  It's just pure family comedy and fun that will have every member of the clan rolling in the isles with laughter!

YOUTH PERFORMERS - Young performers have been a "hit sensation" throughout the years at the Country Tonite show!  Audiences are truly amazed by the talented children who participate in this show.  The child in the photo ts 10-year-old Brinkley Wright from Knoxville, TN.   This "little star" whose been singing since the age of 4 shines during several segments of the show!   She  has a knack for singing and dancing her way into the hearts of every member of the studio audience. 

Young Parker Collins is the extraordinarily talented ten-year-old from Brito, VA.   He's cute, smart, and talented performer who really knows his stuff!  Parker sings, plays piano, and acoustic and electric guitar.  He has performed at the Barter Theatre in Abingdon, VA and Dollywood before his debut at Country Tonite..

Both of these youth performers are incredible to watch!  They perform with an awe-inspiring talent you won't see anywhere else!  

DYNAMIC CHRISTMAS SHOW - Christmas is such a magical time of the year!  The beauty of the season brings joy, laughter, loads of fun, and glorious praise of a newborn king!  It's the perfect way to get into the holiday spirit!  The cast brings the Christmas season alive with Bible readings of that miraculous holy night of long ago.  The story of Jesus is told beautifully in drama and song. Authentic costumes and amazing backdrops bring this story to life in a glorious way!
