The Moody Blues Vocalist Justin Hayward to Perform in Nashville, 9/10

Justin Hayward, the esteemed vocalist, lead guitarist, and composer of The Moody Blues, will visit Nashville with a one-night-only performance at the Tennessee Performing Arts Center's James K. Polk Theater on September 10. English virtuoso guitar player Mike Dawes will open the show.

Tickets are on sale now at TPAC.org, by phone at (615) 782-4040, and in person at the TPAC Box Office, 505 Deaderick Street, in downtown Nashville.

Performing and recording for more than 40 years with The Moody Blues, Hayward wrote such beloved songs as "Nights in White Satin," "Tuesday Afternoon," "Question," "The Voice," and "Your Wildest Dreams." His prolific songwriting helped earn the band over 60 million albums sold.

"We are so looking forward to this tour," said Hayward. "Julie Ragins, Mike Dawes, and I have been overwhelmed by the reception of our live shows during this last year in the USA. To hear every nuance of my acoustic guitars (they are on the road for the first time) and our voices in these venues is a joy. And the USA, like me, is discovering what a fabulous guitar player Mike Dawes is, and I look forward to hearing him play every night, too."

Hayward followed the release of his latest album of new songs Spirits of The Western Sky (Eagle Rock) with several solo tours. The live DVD, CD, and Blu-ray Spirits...Live - Live at The Buckhead Theatre (Eagle Rock Entertainment) was recorded in Atlanta, GA on August 17, 2013, and reached Number 1 on the Billboard Video Chart. This concert film also premiered nationwide on PBS in March 2015, and will continue to air throughout the year.

"It is a privilege and honor that PBS is broadcasting my live show as part of their pledge drives," adds Hayward. "PBS has always meant a lot to me - not only for the quality of its programming but for its news, independence, and integrity... a true great comfort to me while I'm on the road."

Institutional sponsors for TPAC include Nissan North America and Coca-Cola. TPAC is funded in part by support from the Tennessee Arts Commission and the Metropolitan Nashville Arts Commission. TPAC reminds ticket buyers that the only official place to buy tickets online is TPAC.org.
