McDonald returns with this high-energy performance of the greatest hits of all-time.

RUN, don’t walk, to get your tickets! November 16, 2024

Dubbed the “Victor Borge of Rock and Roll” and a man “born inside the piano,” Jefferson McDonald’s Great Balls of Fire is a tour de force evening of comedy and music. Backed by the Great Balls of Fire Orchestra, featuring some of Nashville’s best musicians, McDonald will have you singing and stomping through two acts of incredible music. Jefferson McDonald’s Great Balls of Fire showcases Jefferson’s uniquely brash, rocket-fueled performance style influenced by the likes of Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash, Charlie Rich, Chuck Berry and Elvis Presley. Critics have raved about the show, declaring “run, don’t walk” (Jonathan Charles Fox, The River Reporter) to McDonald’s “Great Balls of Fire.” Witness the show yourself in the incredible setting of Studio Tenn’s pristine theater as Jefferson and his crew smash through some of the greatest hits of all time, hits that defined an era and continue to stand the test of time.

This event is also a special fundraiser for Studio Tenn Theatre Company, offering patrons a unique opportunity to support the arts while enjoying an unforgettable performance. In addition to the show, guests will have the chance to explore additional ways to support Studio Tenn, helping to ensure the continued success of this beloved theatre company.
