Randy Owens, Teddy Gentry and Jeff Cook of the supergroup Alabama haven’t forgotten about their home. As in recent years, the group is (almost) reuniting together on stage at Northeast Alabama Community College with the approach of the June Jam Songwriter’s Showcase.Featured songwriters that will also appear include Brice Long, best known for “Anywhere But Here” and “Nothing On but the Radio,” Jim Weatherly, known for “Midnight Train to Georgia” and “Neither One of Us (wants to be the first to say goodbye),” Monty Powell, who works closely with Keith Urban and Diamond Rio and Wynn Varble, known for “Waiting on a Woman” and “I Just Came Back from a War.”
Randy, Teddy and Jeff are expected to close the show with some Alabama favorites and the stories behind them. Jeff will be doing a show earlier with his Jeff Cook & His All-Star Band earlier in the Showcase. They’ll share the stories behind all the songs, as well as the songwriters themselves performing them in their acoustic form. All of the proceeds from the showcase go to John Croyle’s Big Oak Ranch that helps provide a home for children in need.
Tickets are still available for the event for $50 and can be purchased by calling 845-1646 or (800) 557-8223.
