Ready To Go


They are in town and practicing hard.

The Colwell Brothers and Herb Allen, the musical Founding Fathers of Up With People, are ready for their first concert in Nashville since January, 1966.

Are you ready to come and enjoy this one-of-a-kind evening?

Tickets are $10 and will be on sale at the door.

The concert will be held at 7:00 p.m. Saturday evening, June 23 at the J.T. Moore School Auditorium, 4522 Granny White Pike.

Special alumni guests are also set to join the show throughout the night.

Autographed copies of the Colwells' biography, SONG FOR THE WORLD, will be available for purchase with 10% of the proceeds going to the Up With People Alumni Association. All donations will go for scholarships to help local young people and others to travel for a year with one of the current casts of Up With People.

That will bring it all full circle. The Colwells last trip with Herb Allen to Music City over 36 years ago led to the founding of Sing-Out South along with dozens of area high school and college students later joining and touring the nation and the world with UWP. 

 I can't come Saturday because of a family conflict. But don't miss your chance to see these special musicians and entertainers. You may never get the opportunity again.
