This Saturday, the Colwell Brothers (Steve, Ralph and Paul) return to Nashville for their first performance in over 46 years (1966) in Music City. The Trio is joined by their fellow musical Founding Father of Up With People, Herb Allen. They will be in concert beginning at 7:00 p.m. at the J.T. Moore School Auditorium, 4425 Granny White Pike. The evening will also feature special performances by UWP alumni. It's an evening not to be missed!
Tickets are $10 dollars and are still available on line at:

Tickets will also be sold at the door the evening of the concert.
Signed, autographed copies of the Colwell's biography, A SONG FOR THE WORLD, will be available for sale with 10% of the proceeds going to the Up With People Alumni Association. Any donations from the evening will go to fund scholarships for local young people to have the chance to travel with Up With People.
That's exactly what happened back in 1966, after the last visit the Colwells, Allen and the original cast of Up With People (then known as Sing Out '66) made to Nashville. They took Nashville literally by storm (the city was struck by at least 3 major snowstorms during their stay). Yet hundreds of area college and high school students were so excited they started the local Sing-Out South cast in response to the visit, and, over the next few years dozens, joined Up With People and toured the nation and the world.
And so, may the magic continue Saturday night!
