      That’s encouraging to hear! Boys in the Band share Alabama’s Fort Payne roots and aim for faithful renditions of the hits.

      Rita AlvarezThat caught my eye too. I wonder if any of them knew the original band growing up.

    Glad there's a 2:30 show. I don't care much for driving home after dark.

      Anne K.The afternoon show works better for me too. That drive back toward Ocala is easier in daylight.

    My wife loves Song of the South. Might surprise her with tickets!

    • LS
      Lisa SeiglerAuthor· May 22, 4:44 PM

      That would be a thoughtful surprise! We can’t confirm whether “Song of the South” is on the setlist, but it’s a favorite for many fans.

    A note-for-note Alabama show sounds nice, though I hope they bring their own energy too.

    The cheaper seats at $36 don't sound too bad for a live show.

    • LS
      Lisa SeiglerAuthor· May 22, 1:36 AM

      The $36 starting price made this tribute show a more accessible night, or afternoon, out.

    • GH
      Greg H.· May 22, 8:07 AM

      Janet WilsonAgreed. $36 feels reasonable for a show in a room that size.

    Does anyone know if they do Dixieland Delight? I'd go just for that!

    Weirsdale is an easy drive from Ocala. Might make a night of it!

    • LS

  • SL
    Susan L.· May 20, 3:06 AM

    Two shows on the same Saturday is a good idea. The evening one will probably fill up fast!

    • LS
      Lisa SeiglerAuthor· May 21, 2:46 PM

      The 2:30 PM and 7:00 PM showtimes offered a nice choice. We expected strong interest in both.

    Ray P.· May 20, 12:20 AM

    Hope they play Mountain Music! That one always gets me singing.

    • LS
      Lisa SeiglerAuthor· May 21, 1:36 AM

      “Mountain Music” would be a crowd-pleaser! We don’t have a confirmed setlist, so we can’t say for sure.

    Fort Payne too? That makes me curious to hear how close they sound!

    • CR
      Caleb R.· May 20, 2:31 PM

      Marcus B.Same here. Coming from Fort Payne gives them a pretty neat connection to the music.

    $51 is a little steep for a tribute band, but I do love the Opry.
