Riders In The Sky: Celebrating 48 Years The Cowboy Way
2025-11-08 19:00 - 22:00 | Harken Hall, 514 Madison Station Blvd, Madison, TN, 37115, United States
Harken Hall is hosting a special tribute to America’s Favorite Cowboys and Grand Ole Opry members Riders In The Sky on Saturday, November 8 to celebrate 48 years of The Cowboy Way. The doors open at 5:00 p.m. for guests to enjoy special activities for little buckaroos and adults alike. At 7:00 p.m. the concert will start with Riders In The Sky and special guests.
Riders In The Sky were the first group to play last summer at the opening of Harken Hall. The band has been the keepers of the flame passed on by Gene Autry and Roy Rogers, revising and revitalizing Western music for decades. While remaining true to the integrity of the genre, they have become modern-day icons by branding it with their own legendary wacky humor and Western wit.
Ranger Doug, Too Slim and the late Windy Bill Collins played their first date in 1977 at Herr Harry’s Frank N’ Stein Rathskeller in Nashville in a small listening room. By the next year, demand was building and while Windy Bill left, Woody Paul joined, and the true professional beginnings of the band began at the Kentucky State Fair where the trio played ten days for $2,500.
Their first wave followed including appearances on Austin City Limits, recording contracts with Rounder, then MCA followed by Columbia. They had guest appearances on the Grand Ole Opry leading to their membership in 1982 as well as a three-year run on The Nashville Network with a show called Tumbleweed Theater. That led to a seven-year run on public radio with Riders Radio Theater. People Magazine, interested in the Riders Phenomenon, ran a story which happily caught the eye of a Hollywood producer.
That instigated a second wave sending the cowboys to Hollywood to star in Riders In The Sky on CBS for a year on Saturday mornings, introducing them to another generation. More recordings, endless show dates and television appearances followed for a decade before them to sign a tune called “Woody’s Roundup” in the movie “Toy Story 2.” By now the group was joined by Joey the Cowpolka King to form a quartet. Thus, the third wave began, highlighted by a number of projects for Disney, including two albums, both which won Grammy Awards. The band has recorded 42 albums.
Satellite radio has given them a new platform as they continue to produce episodes of the award-winning Classic Cowboy Corral on Sirius/XM.
Moo Country, a western inspired attire boutique in the heart of Leiper’s Fork, Tenn. with a second location in Bozeman, Mont. will host a fashion show “Glitter & Glam Cowgirl Style” prior to the concert. The guests will likely recognize some of the “models.” There will be a coloring book station for little buckaroos along with a lasso and yodeling exhibition.
A Western themed photo booth will be featured in the Hall along with free face painting and coloring books for kids. Commemorative Riders In The Sky posters will be available for sale along with other merchandise.
Special activities for the little buckaroos include lasso lessons, yodeling exhibition, Coloring books, face painting and The Cowboy Way photo booth.
Tickets are on sale now at $35, $55 and $65 online at https://www.harkenhall.com/shows. Each ticket supports The Magic Mission – a nonprofit working to end pet overpopulation and improve animal welfare in Central America through spay/neuter campaigns and education.

CashBack: A Salute to Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash
2025-11-20 18:00 - 22:00 | Harken Hall, 514 Madison Station Blvd, Madison, TN, 37115, United States
Harken Hall is proud to announce CashBack: A Salute to Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash November 20.
Madison has deep roots in the Cash family story — from Johnny and June’s longtime home on Old Hickory Lake to Johnny’s restoration of the historic Amqui Station that sits next door to Harken Hall. On November 20, those ties come full circle with CashBack, the acclaimed tribute band bringing the music of Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash back to Madison.
Led by Leif Bondarenko, CashBack delivers the grit, soul, and spirit of the Man in Black with uncanny authenticity. From “Folsom Prison Blues” to “Ring of Fire,” the band covers decades of classics with roaring guitars, driving rhythm, and heartfelt duets. Guest vocalist Cheyloe Martin channels June’s fire and warmth, making this tribute as much a celebration of their partnership as of Johnny’s legendary career.
This isn’t an imitation — it’s a living, breathing salute to the music that shaped American culture and left its mark in Madison.
Seating is general admission, and tickets are $30, $50 and $60. Complimentary parking is available both onsite and at nearby lots. Food and beverages will be available for purchase throughout the evening.
Harken Hall is located at 514 Madison Station Blvd, Madison, TN 37115. The doors open at 6:00 p.m. and the show starts at 7:00 p.m. Tickets can be purchased on the Harken Hall website https://www.harkenhall.com/. For more information call (615) 326-1369.

Pitney Meyer with special guest The French Family Band
2026-02-05 19:30 - 23:30 | Harken Hall, 514 Madison Station Blvd, Madison, TN, 37115, United States
Experience the heartfelt songwriting and brother-tight harmonies of Pitney Meyer, the collaborative bluegrass project of Mo Pitney and John Meyer. With special guest The French Family Band, this is an evening of roots music, acoustic mastery, and timeless storytelling.

Rooted in friendship and the shared language of traditional bluegrass music, Pitney Meyer brings a rare kind of harmony—the kind that comes from two voices and two hearts that have spent years shaping songs together. The duo’s music is steeped in authenticity, musical detail, and an emotional depth that’s impossible to fake.
Their debut album, Cherokee Pioneer (2025), was recorded completely analog inside an 1837 hand-hewn log cabin once owned by Johnny Cash—the Storytellers Hideaway Farm in Bon Aqua. Over just three days, surrounded by wood, wire, and stories soaked into the walls, Pitney Meyer captured what makes bluegrass timeless: real voices, real instruments, and real life poured straight to tape. With contributions from standout musicians including mandolinist Nate Burie, fiddlers Ivy Phillips and Jenee Fleenor (five-time CMA Musician of the Year), the album is a testament to musical craftsmanship at its most soulful.
Joining them for this special performance is The French Family Band, bringing their signature blend of country roots, family harmonies, and pure down-home charm.
Together, it’s an evening of storytelling, picking, heart, and tradition—the kind of show you remember long after the last note fades.

Seating options include:

Floor Seating – located on our Hall’s main Floor level, includes a reserved seat with a front facing view of the stage
Suites – located on our Loft level, includes 8 tickets, posh reserved couch seating and tables and 6 stage-view seats at the front of the suite
