Exile

Dixie Center for the Arts

Shirley's deep roots in the gospel/country music industry are evident through her family's group, the Chuck Wagon Gang, which has spanned over 85 years. Shirley Carter is now considered one of the best new sounds in tribute music, and has quickly gained respect among peers and industry leaders alike.

Shirley Carter's "Royal Women of Country" tribute show will be a night filled with nostalgia, laughter and the fabulous music for which Shirley and the Carter family have been known!
This night will be unforgettable for all! Shirley will perform the great country songs just as they were performed by their original artists.

Shirley Carter's Royal Women of Country

Dixie Center For The Arts

A beloved tradition celebrating the life, legacy, and music of local legend Joe Woods. This high-energy event features foot-stomping country music and heartfelt performances from former members of Joe’s original band, along with singers who share a personal or musical connection to the Wildwood Express days.

More than just a fundraiser for the Historic Dixie Theater, this show is a living tribute to a vibrant era in Ruston's cultural history—when Saturday nights came alive with music, memories, and community. The Joe Woods Wildwood Express Show brings it all back, reminding us of the joy, camaraderie, and spirit that made those days so special.

Come be a part of the music, the memories, and the magic—all in support of the Dixie Center for the Arts.
