September 20, 8PM
Born and raised in Honolulu,
Hawaii, Jake Shimabukuro is known for his energetic strumming on the ukulele.

arrangements to spontaneous, improvised passages. In addition to his original
compositions, his repertoire includes Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody, Schubert’s Ave
Maria and Cohen’s Hallelujah. He started playing at the age of four, and his
career skyrocketed with a YouTube clip of “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” that
went viral and received more than 13 million views.
Tickets are $59, $44, $34 or $15, depending
on location. A $3 theatre facility fee and applicable NC sales tax will be
added to the price of each ticket. A BNPresents production.
Mandy Barnett
Friday, September 23, 8PM
Mandy Barnett started singing at age
five in her Tennessee hometown, and she hasn’t stopped since. Her teenage
portrayal of Patsy Cline in the Nashville stage show “Always . . . Patsy Cline”
at the Ryman Auditorium sold out nightly and received rave reviews across the
country. She soon signed with Asylum Records where she released her first
album as herself, “Mandy Barnett.” The album received glowing
reviews. She then went on to release the huge critical success “I’ve Got
a Right to Cry.” Frequently featured on soundtracks and TV between her
international tours, she has been lauded by critics for her “pipes of steel,”
“big” voice, and “glorious echo,” harkening back to the all-time great leading
ladies of country music.
Tickets are $45 for premium
orchestra pit seating; $32.50, $27.50, $22.50, or $20, depending on location. A
$3 theatre facility fee and applicable NC sales tax will be added to the price

Direct from Havana, Cuba! Staying
true to an acoustic base, The Havana Cuba All-Stars have developed a fresh
sound with inventive songwriting, preserving the nation’s musical traditions. The

musicians, and is devoted to promoting the entire tapestry of Cuban music. This
is the group’s first time touring the US and Canada.

Mipso
Friday,
October 7, 8PM
The renegade traditionalists of
Mipso are doing their part to take three-part harmony and Appalachian
influences into new territory. Formed in Chapel Hill in 2010, these four North
Carolinians are touring the country to support their 2013 release, “Dark Holler
Pop.”
Tickets are $35 for premium
orchestra pit seating; $20 for adults, or $18 for students, seniors &

Mark Russell
Sunday,
October 30, 3PM
For more than 32 years, political
satirist Mark Russell has been entertaining audiences with material ripped from
today’s headlines. Russell will take the Carolina Theatre stage just as the
presidential election cycle really heats up. Known for skewering Democrats and
Republicans alike, Russell’s unique brand of comedy earned him the Mark Twain
Award for political comedy and has made him a popular favorite on PBS. Long
before Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, there was Mark Russell, daring to joke and
sing of the often absurd political process.
Tickets are $45 for premium
orchestra pit seating; $35, $30, $25, or $20, depending on location. Students,
seniors & military save $2 on all non-pit seats. A $3 theatre facility fee
and applicable NC sales tax will be added to the price of each ticket.
The Glenn Miller Orchestra
Saturday,
January 14, 7PM
The legendary Glenn Miller was
one of the most successful of all dance bandleaders back in the Swing Era of
the 1930s and ‘40s. A matchless string of hit records, the impact of radio
broadcasts, and the drawing power at theatres, hotels, and dance pavilions,
built and sustained the band’s popularity. Today the group is led by vocalist
Nick Hilscher, with the 18-member ensemble continuing to play many of the original
Miller arrangements. Just as it was in Glenn’s day, the Glenn Miller Orchestra today
is still the most sought after big band in the world.
Tickets are $27.50 for adults, or
$24.50 for students, seniors & military. A $3 theatre facility fee and applicable
NC sales tax will be added to the price of each ticket.
Tickets
will be available in person at the Carolina Theatre box office, by phone at
336-333-2605, or online.
