Nightfall - May
Celebrate the 20th season of Nightfall in 2008!
Featuring a wide variety of headline performances by world-class musicians from around the globe every Friday evening from Memorial Day weekend through the last weekend of September 26 at Miller Plaza.

Shows begin at 7:00 PM with a local opening act, followed by the evening's headline performer at 8:00 PM.
Headline Act: Mike Farris Band
Opening Act: Dismembered Tennesseans

Those who remember Mike Farris as former frontman for the Screamin’ Cheetah Wheelies will do a double take when they hear the deeply spiritual, soulful and potent groove that marks the moving comeback of this musical powerhouse.  This show will raise the roof with a 10-piece band that includes horns and righteous female backing vocals that perfectly position tunes between heaven and earth.

Headline Act: Karla Bonoff
Opening Act: Tim Veazey

Singer/songwriter Karla Bonoff played the very first Nightfall concert at Miller Plaza in 1988. She is a wonderful performer and recording artist, and many of her songs have become hits for herself as well as for a number of performers, especially after so many of them were recorded by Linda Rondstadt.

Michelle Shocked
I drove from Atlanta, GA just to see Michelle Shocked at the Miller Plaza and I simply loved it. Watching Michelle dance the electric slide with the audience was great!
