The Averitt Center for the Arts will feature premier acts in bluegrass and gospel music performing in separate shows on the Emma Kelly Theater stage in November.

First, the acclaimed bluegrass duo Darin & Brooke Aldridge will be in concert on Sunday, Nov. 8, at 4 p.m. Known as Grand Ole Opry favorites, the duo features four-time International Bluegrass Music Association "Female Vocalist of the Year" Brooke Aldridge and former "Country Gentlemen" member Darin Aldridge.

On Saturday, Nov. 14, at 7 p.m., gospel vocalist Jason Crabb, a two-time Grammy Award winner and 22-time GMA Dove Award recipient, will bring his show to Statesboro. Crabb is widely celebrated for his vocals and cross-genre appeal.

Robert Faller, executive director of the Averitt Center, announced that VIP tickets are available for the Jason Crabb performance. The premium tickets grant guests early access to the theater for an exclusive, pre-show "Meet & Greet with Jason Crabb" beginning at 6 p.m. on the evening of the concert.

The upcoming concerts offer a rare opportunity to hear both elite acts perform live in Statesboro during the same month.

Earlier this year, the artists showcased their musical synergy in the collaborative official music video for the song, "It'll Be Worth It After All" by Darin & Brooke Aldridge, featuring Jason Crabb.
