Gary Morris will treat North Texas music fans to what is certain to be a memorable concert on this special Saturday evening.
Morris’ voice is the only instrument needed to move the listener’s heart and soul. He is probably best known for his original recording of “Wind Beneath My Wings,” which won both the Country Music Association and the Academy of Country Music Song of the Year Awards. At the height of his Nashville recording career, Morris boldly opted to play opposite Linda Ronstadt in the New York Shakespeare Festival production of Puccini’s opera La Bohème. Next, he accepted the heroic lead role of Jean Valjean in Les Misérables, on Broadway. Receiving resounding critical praise, including a Drama Desk Best Actor nomination, his performance set the standard for this challenging role.
Morris’ famous rendition of “Bring Him Home” can be found on the platinum-selling Grammy Award-winning International cast album. For more information on Morris, visit his official web site.
Cody Head, at North Lamar Theatre, is chairing the local charity concert and it will be held in the local North Lamar High School auditorium at 8:00 p.m. on Saturday, December 7, which, coincidently, is Morris's 65th birthday. No doubt, friends of Morris will want to make sure this concert is also a celebration for one of today's most versatile and remarkable performers.
