6 New Shows Set To Come to the King Center

The Maxwell C. King Center for the Performing Arts opened its doors in 1988. Since that time, it has had a profound impact on the cultural and artistic landscape of Brevard County and Central Florida. The need for a performing arts center in Brevard County had been apparent for many years. Periodically, task forces were formed to try to garner the necessary funds, but each time the costs were deemed prohibitive and the idea was abandoned.

There is no doubt that George Jones helped set the standard for modern country music. It's impossible to overstate Jones' impact as one of the architects of the country music sound. He began producing hits in 1959 with the rockabilly chart-topper "White Lighting" and the hits kept coming with songs such as "Tender Years," "She Thinks I Still Care" and "Walk Through This World With Me." With an already impressive 30 year career behind him, Jones went on to record one of the all-time great country records, "He Stopped Loving Her Today" in 1980. Join us as we welcome one of the top male singers in country music to the King Center stage.

RAY STEVENS

Ray Stevens just thinks funny. His humor is keenly observant and rich in nuance. His style is unaffected and unpretentious which for the past fifty years has allowed for entertainment that is both witty and guileless. From his multi-million selling comedy hit "The Streak" to the socially aware "Mr. Businessman" to his Grammy award winning pop standard "Everything Is Beautiful," his talent has touched so many. He has memorably spoofed everything from Tarzan movies to trendy crazes and has brought us his very own comedy classics. Not only a singer and composer, Ray has also produced, arranged and played on the recordings of some of Nashville's most legendary performers. Ray's genre of music is one of his own making. It spans from pop, country, rock and comedy and it is truly his own.
