Their last three albums have received Grammy nominations and in 2020, they were inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame. The Isaacs will take the stage at the Monroe County Fine Arts Center on Saturday, June 18, 2022 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets start at $30. Buy your tickets today.
The Return
The Return got its start in 1995 when four young friends from the Atlanta area got together to play their favorite Beatles songs “just for fun.” Originally named “The Roaches,” they were asked by a friend to perform in front of an audience in a one-time gig and “the rest is history.” Over time, they polished their act by striving for a high level of authenticity to recreate the Beatles’ early sixties concert experiences. In the past decade, they have performed across the United States and overseas, including at Abbey Road Studios in London, and headlining the 40th anniversary celebration of the Beatles visits to Tokyo with a tour of Japan. You may also remember their stop at our Fine Arts Center back in 2017. The Return is coming back to Forsyth on Saturday, July 23. You can catch them on stage at the Monroe County Fine Arts Center at 7:30 p.m. Tickets start at $30. Buy your tickets today.
Super Bowl Champ Malcolm Mitchell Brings Literacy Lesson to Forsyth
Malcolm Mitchell is a native of Valdosta, Georgia. He’s one of the top ten all time receivers at the University of Georgia (UGA) and helped the New England Patriots win the Super Bowl in 2017.
