I'm sorry, but SecretCityGo.com is on hiatus. I just don't have the free time to keep it going.
This Web site may come back again, possibly with a new administrator, or it may never be revived. I don't know yet, but I will try to let you know as soon as I do.

Songwriters at Grove Theater on Aug. 29
--information provided by Allen McBride
Tickets are now on sale to see Ellis Paul and Chris Trapper at the Grove Theater on Saturday, August 29.
Sixteen years ago, the Boston Globe was calling Ellis Paul a "songwriter's songwriter" and saying, "No emerging songwriter in recent memory has been more highly touted and respected by songwriters." That was before he became a major crossover folk-pop star, with his songs featured in blockbuster movies and hit TV shows.
Chris Trapper, who has fronted the rock band the Push Stars, will open the show.
Tickets are $13 in advance and $15 at the door, and are available at The Ferrell Shop and Moondollars Cafe, both in Jackson Square, Oak Ridge, or online at www.cumberlandmusic.org. Doors will open at 7:30, and the concert will begin at 8 p.m.
