Doors open at 6:00 p.m. and show starts at 6:30 p.m.. This performance is at the Veterans Theater, KP N. Clubhouse.  Meet Harry Burgess, solo artist for the February show, “Wit and Wisdom with Mark Twain”. Harry first introduced us to Mark Twain in October of 2024, with a 20 minute show. He's back and ready to deliver a full hour of entertainment you won't soon forget! Get your tickets now and enjoy this magnetic performance!  You may remember Harry from his performances in the Vesta Follies, in the Pelican Players production “Flamingo Court”, multiple Cabaret Singers shows and in the musical adaptation of the story of Adam and Eve. Harry has spent numerous hours, with assistance from his wife Camille, in preparation for the show. He looks like Twain, sounds like Twain and has refined his delivery of Twain’s “Wit and Wisdom”! Harry shared his thoughts on Mark Twain:* "Mark Twain’s insightful, humorous and poignant reflections on society and the nature of man are just as relevant today as they were when Twain began his lecture series in October 1866. Because of this, I feel compelled to keep the work of Twain alive by introducing him to new audiences who may know nothing of Twain and re-introducing him to those who have embraced his work. Mark Twain not only makes us laugh, but more importantly, makes us think. I have been a fan of Mark Twain since childhood when I found Huckleberry Finn to be the most interesting and entertaining of his stories. After seeing Hal Holbrook’s solo performance as Twain on television in the late 1960’s, I became a student of Twain. I was drawn to his work on the lecture circuit and to Mr. Holbrook’s solo performance based on years of research into the life and works of Mark Twain." *Content taken from a previous interview with Barbara Boyle.  Tickets are $10 and can be purchased at the KP Box Office or at the door. Cabaret seating and BYOE!

Kenny is a studio musician and vocalist and for the past 19 seasons has performed at various theatres in Pigeon Forge, TN. Kenny presented his “Golden Oldies Show” that he does at the Red Skelton Tribute Theatre in Pigeon Forge last year and is coming back by popular demand once again. Music has always been a part of Kenny’s life. As a child he sang in a family quartet with his father, brother, and younger sister. The Evans Family Quartet toured the southeast doing concerts at churches, festivals, and theatres and made guest appearances with Archie Campbell at the live Hee-Haw theatre in Pigeon Forge, TN. In 1994, just three months after getting married Kenny signed with a booking agency out of Orlando Florida, and quickly began a grueling tour schedule that would put him on the road for more than 250 days a year as the opening act for some of country music’s biggest stars including Kenny Chesney, Charlie Daniels, Lonestar, Sara Evans, Toby Keith, Tracy Byrd, and many others. In February 1998 Kenny signed a record deal in Nashville and released his debut album “When You Love Somebody” and just as his career was taking off tragedy struck as Kenny and his band were almost killed by a drunk driver while on tour. It took several months to recover from the accident, and in the spring of 2000, Kenny left the country music industry to serve the Lord. You won’t want to miss this concert as Kenny “Wows” the audience with his four-octave range voice!!
