December 15th: FSO's Holiday Pops Concert


The FSO's Special Holiday Pops Concert on Dec. 15, 2012 will feature the Royal Ladies of Country. One of those wonderful ladies is Ava Barber. Born and raised in Knoxville, Tennessee, Ava grew up singing in her oldest brother's rock 'n' roll band. Ava began singing professionally at age 10. She joined a local Country Music television show at age 14 in Knoxville and, stayed with the show for four years. The show was carried on thirty television stations which provided great exposure for Ava. She then began performing around the Knoxville area and began even recording records locally. She went on the Lawrence Welk Show in February of 1974 and became a regular until 1982. The show brought many opportunities and landed her on the Grand Ole Opry stage 2 times as well as other popular music shows.

In 1990 Ava and her husband Roger went into a partnership with Dick Dale to open a theatre in Pigeon Forge, TN. That last 6 good years and she moved on to other theaters and show s. Now, some of her most fun and recent tours include her monthly shows with the "Big South Fork Opry" and her newest project with "The Royal Ladies of Country Music". Please come out and see Ava Barber perform December 15, 2012 with the FSO. It'll be a great show and there'll be lots of holiday fun and carols to share!
