When Memphis Proclaimed Boyz II Men Day

Sixteen years ago yesterday, Hutch Entertainment brought Boyz II Men to the Germantown Performing Arts Center for a special benefit performance, and the City of Memphis proclaimed the day Boyz II Men Day in Memphis.

This was one of those nights where the music and the mission came together. The most successful R&B group of all time, and four-time Grammy winners, took the GPAC stage to raise awareness and funds for the Ovarian Cancer Awareness Foundation of Memphis.

The evening opened with a surprise: American Idol finalist Alexis Grace warmed up the crowd, and Xavier Henry of the Memphis Grizzlies served as emcee. Add a silent auction and a VIP experience, with a portion of the VIP proceeds going to the cause, and it was a night that gave back.
Then came the songs. “End of the Road,” “I’ll Make Love to You,” “One Sweet Day,” “Motownphilly,” “On Bended Knee,” “Song for Mama.” Hits that spent weeks at No. 1 and still stop a room when the first harmony lands. Hearing them live in our own backyard, with the city honoring them with an official proclamation, is something I’ll never forget.
The night was dedicated to the memory of Janice Hooper and all the women who bravely fought ovarian cancer. That’s what made it more than a concert.

Thank you to the City of Memphis, GPAC, the Memphis Grizzlies for their support, the Ovarian Cancer Awareness Foundation, Alexis, Xavier, and Tracy Beaver with Beaver Maintenance and Construction. and everyone that attended.

10 years ago tonight, Hutch Entertainment brought 2 Chainz to Knoxville for the Kappa Sigmas. Nearly 3,000 fans packed the Old City Courtyard for a Friday night show, the night before the UT vs. Alabama game.
Tickets were just $20, and the energy downtown was electric. The crowd got its party the night before kickoff. Unfortunately for the Vols, Alabama won 49-10 the next day.

Great crowd, great night, and a great reminder of what live music does for a college town on game weekend.

Two Sisters, One Night, and "Strawberry W**e"

Some shows aren't just concerts — they're reunions. On June 30, 2017, Deana Carter took the stage at the historic Lincoln Theater in Marion, Virginia — the same stage where PBS films "Song of the Mountains." Two sisters, estranged for over five years, sat side by side that night, brought back together by a woman one of them had idolized since childhood.

"Strawberry W**e" hit No. 1 on Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart back in 1996 and won CMA Song of the Year in 1997. That night in Marion, it did what it always does, and more. A fan wrote us afterward:

"My sister and I have been estranged for five-plus years, but we came together tonight for your show at the Lincoln Theater. As my childhood idol, it was a dream realized. I loved your candid stories about your life. You are exactly as I imagined: smart, humble, beautiful, and down-to-earth. I appreciated the nostalgia. I sang every song word for word and was transported to a simple, innocent, green time in my life. I loved it. I loved that your son is traveling with you—what an amazing opportunity for bonding! Thank you for coming to our tiny community, and thank you to your manager and agents for making a girl's dream come true."

That's the part of this business people don't always see. We book the dates and handle the logistics, but what actually happens in that room — a family healing, a childhood dream coming full circle — that's the real payoff. Music heals. Music empowers. It's the greatest gift, and we're grateful every time we get to be part of delivering it.
It's why we do what we do.

On this day in 1966, The Byrds kicked off an 11-night stand at the Wh**ky a Go Go in Hollywood. The club had only opened two years earlier, and it basically invented the modern Go-Go dancer by accident — a DJ spinning records from a cage above the floor started dancing along to Johnny Rivers' sets, and the crowd thought it was part of the act.

We've got our own history with The Byrds. We were beyond honored to book Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Roger McGuinn for Season II of Legends & Lyrics, where he performed in the round with Texas legend Guy Clark and Glen Phillips of Toad the Wet Sprocket.

We consider him one of the true architects of rock — that jangly 12-string sound he brought to The Byrds shaped everything from folk-rock to power-pop that came after. Tom Petty called McGuinn one of his biggest influences, and you can hear it in every chiming Rickenbacker riff Petty ever played. Getting to sit across from one of rock's genuine pioneers is exactly the kind of moment that reminds you why we love this business.

In 2022, police in Ohio raided the home of Afroman, looking for evidence related to alleged drug trafficking and kidnapping.
They found no evidence that led to charges against him.

But Afroman did what Afroman does best — he turned the whole thing into a song.
His home security cameras captured the raid, and he later used the actual footage in the music video for “Lemon Pound Cake.” One of the most memorable moments shows an officer in Afroman’s kitchen looking down at a lemon pound cake sitting on the counter.
That moment became part of the song. 😂🍋🍰

The raid wasn't exactly cheap for Afroman, either. He said officers damaged his door, gate and security-camera wiring, leaving him with substantial repair costs.

Police also seized more than $5,000 in cash from the house. The money was eventually returned — except Afroman said $400 was missing.

No arrest. No charges.

But he did get one hell of a music video out of it.

Only Afroman could turn a police raid into “Lemon Pound Cake.”

We were also honored to book Afroman and Juicy J for the Ace Miller Boxing Tournament After-Party in Knoxville. What a night!

Sara Evans & REO Speedwagon: A Special Crossroads Memory

Eleven years ago, Sara Evans and REO Speedwagon teamed up for a memorable episode of CMT Crossroads, bringing country and classic rock together for songs including “A Real Fine Place Start,” “Born to Fly,” “Take It on the Run,” and “Keep on Loving You.”
This one was especially meaningful for us at Hutch Entertainment because our history crosses paths with both artists.
During my years as talent buyer for the Walmart AMP, we had the opportunity to book REO Speedwagon. Later, I was fortunate enough to work with REO frontman Kevin Cronin again when we featured him on an episode of the PBS television series Legends & Lyrics.
And our connection with Sara Evans continued when we booked her as part of the Hugo’s Concert Series in Grand Forks, North Dakota.
That’s one of the things I’ve always loved about this business. Years pass, projects change, and then you see artists you’ve worked with come together for something special like CMT Crossroads. It brings back a lot of great memories.

Different stages and different chapters, but all part of the Hutch Entertainment story.

A Texas Original Gets His Due

Congratulations to Lyle Lovett on being elected to the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame in the Veteran Songwriter/Artist category!

A true Texas original, Lyle has built an extraordinary career by blending country, folk, blues, jazz and Americana with some of the most distinctive songwriting in American music.

On a personal note, we were honored to book Lyle twice at the Walmart AMP during my years as talent buyer there. He is one of those artists whose musicianship, songwriting and live performances are every bit deserving of an honor like this.
Congratulations to Lyle Lovett on an incredible and well-deserved achievement — Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame!

A Special Night at Lafayette's Music Room
More than 375 fans packed Lafayette's Music Room in Memphis last night for Mini KISS — a night of classic rock, high energy and great memories.

Lafayette's holds a unique place in Memphis music history. Back in the 1970s, artists like KISS, Billy Joel, Barry Manilow, Styx, Kansas and Melissa Manchester all played that same room before they were household names. Bringing Mini KISS back to that stage and adding another chapter to Lafayette's story was something I was proud to be part of.
What made it even more special was watching generations of KISS fans share the room together — parents, kids, longtime fans and new ones, all there for the same reason.

Thank you to Mini KISS, Chris Walker and the entire team at Lafayette's for partnering with me on this one, and to everyone who came out and supported live music in Memphis.

After 30+ years in this business, nights like this are still what it's all about.
