Sunny Sweeney
Friday, March 6 at 7:30 pm in Starr Theater
Cabaret Seating is $66.70
Theater Seating is $43.70
The mastery of holes in the wall, major label stint and serious songwriting chops make Sunny Sweeney something of a rarity: an artist with barroom cred, mainstream validation and songs meaty enough for listening rooms. Just as comfortable commanding a stadium stage on tour with Bob Seger as she is pouring her heart out from a listening room stool, this humble East Texas kid sings her own songs made up of equal parts wit, soul and hard truth.

Friday, March 13 at 7:30 pm in Starr Theater
