The Fred continues its Lexus of South Atlanta Summer Concert Series Friday, July 29, when country music star Kellie Pickler takes the stage.
Kellie grew up immersed in country music in the small town of Albemarle, North Carolina with the words of Tammy Wynette, Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn and Dolly Parton shaping her musical footing. At the age of 19 she gained fame as a contestant on the fifth season of “American Idol.”
Her chart singles include “Red High Heels,” “I Wonder,” “Don’t You Know You’re Beautiful,” “Best Days of Your Life” (co-written with Taylor Swift and her first Top 10), and “Didn’t You Know How Much I Loved You.”
In 2013 Kellie gained fame on the popular television show “Dancing With The Stars” and even walked away with the mirrored ball trophy for first place.
There are many ways to describe Kellie Pickler. Spunky, beautiful, talented and charismatic just scratch the surface. But there is one word that ties them all together and brings them to life. Kellie Pickler is real. Few people speak or sing so transparently from their hearts. Few can bridge life and art, story and song so vibrantly and compellingly.
Upcoming country star and the 2014 Georgia Country Overall Artist Winner Thomas Fountain will open the show beginning at 8 p.m. Kellie will take the stage at 9 p.m.
Tickets are available for the July 29 concert and may be purchased at The Fred Box Office or at ticketalternative.com. Reserved seats range from $50-$65. For further information call 770-631-0630.
