The Sounds of Ain’t Misbehavin’ has the Roxy Regional Theatre jumpin’ and jivin’
February 27, 2011
Clarksville, TN – The Roxy Regional Theatre’s revival of the Tony award winning musical Ain’t Misbehavin’ is an explosive romp that takes the audience on a jaunt through the roaring 1920’s, and leading into the great depression. The show is intended as a tribute to African American musicians and follows the birth of an entirely new genre of jazz music known as swing.
Swing can trace its roots to the Harlem renaissance which brought African American Culture to the attention of white society in swanky New York night clubs where musicians like Count Basie, Cab Calloway, Fletcher Henderson, Fats Waller, Duke Ellington, Jelly Roll Morton, and Willie “The Lion” Smith entertained the elites of New York’s high society.
The show features the music of Jazz Pianist and songwriter Fats Waller, played flawlessly by Tom Thayer.

Clarksville, TN – The outrageously prodigious comic and musical soul of 1930s Harlem lives on in the Roxy Regional Theatre’s production of AIN’T MISBEHAVIN’: The Fats Waller Musical Show, beginning February 11th.
Thomas “Fats” Waller rose to international fame during the Golden Age of the Cotton Club, honky tonk dives along Lenox Avenue, rent parties, stride piano players and that jumpin’ new beat, Swing! Based on an idea by Murray Horwitz and Richard Maltby Jr., this rollicking, swinging, finger-snapping revue features such tunes as “Honeysuckle Rose,” “Mean to Me,” “Keepin’ Out of Mischief,” “This Joint Is Jumpin’,” “I’ve Got a Feeling I’m Falling,” and many more.

American Floyd Rocks the House at APSU
January 24, 2011
Clarksville, TN – American Floyd put on a great show at Austin Peay State University’s Music/Mass Communications Building here in Clarksville on Friday and Saturday Night. I was able to attend the Friday evening show.
The concert opened with chopper sound effects and then led into Pink Floyds Brick in the Wall and the video playing behind the stage on a 40 foot screen that tied it all together. Along with great music, the light and laser show was awesome. At one point while the show was jamming inside the fire alarms were triggered outside the concert hall, as the mist from the fog machines spread through the building. Of course there was no danger to anyone inside the show.
