Jimmy Fortune

Gospel Music Association and Country Music Association Hall of Famer Jimmy Fortune, along with special guests The Malpass Brothers, will perform for one night only at the Lutcher Theater on Saturday, April 22, at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $35-$55 and can be purchased online at lutcher.org or by calling (409) 886-5535.

Fortune toured, sang and performed with the legendary Statler Brothers for 21 years and wrote the group’s second No.1 hit, “Elizabeth.” He quickly lived up to his name and penned two more No. 1 hits, “My Only Love” and “Too Much on My Heart,” plus the popular tunes “Forever” and “More Than a Name on the Wall.” He also sang on many of the Statler Brothers’ gold, platinum and double platinum recordings and after the group retired on October 26, 2002, Fortune seized the opportunity to launch a solo career to share new music with his fans.

Openers for music legend Merle Haggard on multiple tours, The Malpass Brothers promote the work and music of classic country artists they treasure while creating new music and making their own mark in the lineage of rich American cultural heritage.

The Lutcher Theater is located at 707 Main Ave. in downtown Orange.
