Whether we are listening to music with family, sharing stories with friends, or teaching a craft to children, creative expression has the power to bring people together. As people work together or give advice, they rely on each other and create respect for each other. Beyond that, seeing or hearing someone else’s creative expression allows us to know a part of who they are. Then we can value and enjoy them as fellow people. The McKinney Center has fostered a place where people can come together to practice all kinds of art, from sculpture to music and painting to stories. We are endlessly grateful for our members who have given their financial support to the mission of the McKinney Center. You have helped people learn and practice art in a way that helps connect them to each other. With our 2025 membership drive, we hope to grow the support that allows us to share the gift of art with more and more people in the region. We recognize the power of art to remind us of our shared humanity–all the things we have in common with the people around us. And we cannot wait to continue spreading that gift. Expanding our membership through this drive is an important endeavor as we continue to cultivate the arts in the region. Each new membership, and each renewal, is an investment in the McKinney Center’s future. Your support is vital as we strive to be a space in Historic Jonesborough that helps individuals express themselves creatively, provides room for constant learning, and brings people together.

BANJO ROMANTIKA introduces the musicians who play this unique bluegrass hybrid. Czechs first heard bluegrass during World War II when the Armed Forces Network broadcast American music for soldiers. The music represented freedom to dissatisfied Czechs living in a communist state. Czechs’ love for the music was solidified when Pete Seeger visited and performed in 1964. Inspired by classic American bluegrass sounds, an assortment of musicians from across the formerly communist Czech Republic have melded the past, the political and the present into a lively musical tradition entirely its own. https://www.banjoromantika.com/ Pay What You Can tickets available at thejacksontheatre.com.

Winter Farmers Marke… Winter Farmers Market February 21, 2026 9:00 am - 12:00 pm Kelsey Waldon and Ga… Kelsey Waldon and Gabe Lee at the Jackson Theatre February 21, 2026 7:00 pm - 9:30 pm Jackson Theatre, 121 W Main St, Jonesborough, TN 37659, USA Join us on Friday, February 21st at 7pm for Kelsey Waldon and Gabe Lee at the Jackson Theatre. Kelsey Walson- In the six years since she signed to John Prine’s Oh Boy Records, Kelsey Waldon has earned wide praise for her “self-penned compositions [with] the patina of authenticity” (Rolling Stone). On her new album, Every Ghost, she confronts addiction, grief, generational trauma, and even herself — and comes through it stronger and at peace. “There’s a lot of hard-earned healing on this record,” Waldon says of the nine-song project, recorded at Southern Grooves studio in Memphis with her band, The Muleskinners. As she sings in the record’s title track and first song, “Ghost of Myself,” she’s put in the work not only to better herself and leave behind bad habits, but also to learn to love her past selves. Doing so wasn’t easy, Waldon admits. “It took time and experience,” she says, adding that she can now find compassion for her younger self. “I think you’ve gotta respect her,” Waldon says, “because she was trying as hard as she could for where she was at, and she was doing a damn good job.” Compassion is a throughline on Every Ghost, whether it’s for Waldon herself, for the person in the throes of addiction in “Falling Down,” or for a suffering world in “Nursery Rhyme.” The people in Waldon’s songs aren’t irredeemable — they’re struggling. “You’ve got to have compassion; you gotta stay humble and have gratitude,” Waldon says. However, she’s learned that you also can’t let people take advantage of an empathetic heart. “Comanche” — which Waldon jokes is her very own truck song — finds Waldon grappling with the loss of a loved one, not to death but to boundaries she’s set for her own good. Waldon owns a 1988 Jeep Comanche, and driving it serves as a kind of therapy for her. “I love the whole aspect of when design mattered,” she says, “and owning your car was an expression of yourself.” “Comanche” is deeply personal, but Waldon’s most introspective reflections bookend My Ghost. Its penultimate song, “My Kin,” extends the idea of loving yourself in spite of yourself beyond the choices she’s made and the circumstances she’s put herself in, to reckon with both the good and the bad that come from her family tree. Those traits, Waldon concludes, make her who she is. “As the song says, ‘I’m the best and worst of my kin,’ and I love that for myself,” says Waldon, who was born and raised in a hunting lodge at the end of a dead-end road in the rural, unincorporated community of Monkey’s Eyebrow, Ky. “And I’m also at a point where I’m willing to break these cycles, I’m willing to grow, I’m willing to evolve.” Among those best parts of her lineage is Waldon’s grandmother, who died in June 2024. “She was a remarkable woman. The women in my family have been rocks, and they’ve all been colorful and full of character,” Waldon says. “Her garden and her yard, that might have been one of the things she took the most pride in,” Waldon adds, recalling how her granny would often stop to dig up roadside flowers, then transplant them into her yard. A display of tiger lilies, some of which now grow in Waldon’s yard in Tennessee, was a particular point of pride.Transplanting is such a tradition — it can teach you a lot,” Waldon says. “Life goes on, beauty can grow from anywhere, and as long as a person is remembered, they’re never gone.” Waldon honors her granny with the song “Tiger Lilies.” She didn’t want an over-the-top sentimental song, so she instead leaned into the idea of traditions as a way to remember loved ones. “I’m sure Granny would love it,” Waldon says. Every Ghost concludes with a Hazel Dickens cover, “Ramblin’ Woman.” Waldon covered two Dickens songs on 2024’s There’s Always a Song and had added “Ramblin’ Woman” to their live sets as well. While Waldon didn’t originally intend to include their cover on this album, it served as “a sonic star” during the recording process and has a message Waldon feels is still relevant decades after Dickens wrote it. “Hazel was ahead of her time,” Waldon says. “Our existence is more than just what society expects of us. We’re more than just somebody’s girlfriend or wife or mother, and those are all beautiful things, but we can have our own independence, and we don’t have to do it for anybody else. We’re beautiful, magical, and powerful creatures.” That’s certainly how Waldon sees herself after completing Every Ghost. “It feels like there’s a spirit of fearlessness throughout this album,” Waldon says, “and I’m really proud of that.” Waldon’s fearlessness is among the reasons she landed at Oh Boy Records in 2019, as the independent label’s first new signee in 15 years. It’s attracted fans to her headline tours and her festival sets, and prompted artists including Tyler Childers, Charley Crockett, Robert Earl Keen, Margo Price, and Lucinda Williams to invite her on tour. It helped earn her both the title of “Kentucky Colonel” — an honor recognizing goodwill ambassadors of Kentucky’s culture and traditions — and a spot in the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum’s annual American Currents exhibit in 2024. Gabe Lee- Storytelling has been an anchor of Lee's music since the very beginning. He launched his careeras a genre-bending musician after returning to Tennessee, quickly progressing from dive bar gigsto high-profileopening slots (including shows with Jason Isbell, Los Lobos, and other artistswho, like him, blurred the lines between roots-rock, country, and other forms of American folkmusic) to his own headlining shows. Throughout it all, he drew upon the narrativeskills he'dsharpened as a student. If albums like Honky-Tonk Hell and The Hometown Kid often unfoldedlike autobiographical entries from his road journal, then Drink the River shows an even broaderrange of his storytelling abilities. Lee isn't just writing songs about himself; he's writing songsabout all of us. And maybe, in doing so, he can bring us a little closer together. Tickets available at thejacksontheatre.com.

Whether we are listening to music with family, sharing stories with friends, or teaching a craft to children, creative expression has the power to bring people together. As people work together or give advice, they rely on each other and create respect for each other. Beyond that, seeing or hearing someone else’s creative expression allows us to know a part of who they are. Then we can value and enjoy them as fellow people. The McKinney Center has fostered a place where people can come together to practice all kinds of art, from sculpture to music and painting to stories. We are endlessly grateful for our members who have given their financial support to the mission of the McKinney Center. You have helped people learn and practice art in a way that helps connect them to each other. With our 2025 membership drive, we hope to grow the support that allows us to share the gift of art with more and more people in the region. We recognize the power of art to remind us of our shared humanity–all the things we have in common with the people around us. And we cannot wait to continue spreading that gift. Expanding our membership through this drive is an important endeavor as we continue to cultivate the arts in the region. Each new membership, and each renewal, is an investment in the McKinney Center’s future. Your support is vital as we strive to be a space in Historic Jonesborough that helps individuals express themselves creatively, provides room for constant learning, and brings people together.

Washington School, 103 Franklin Ave, Jonesborough, TN 37659, USA The McKinney Center will debut a new play in February that is 250 years in the making. The First and Last Town in Tennessee shares stories from Jonesborough’s past and present to commemorate America’s Semiquincentennial. Written by Program Manager Anne G’Fellers-Mason, the play takes the audience on a journey from 1779, the year of Jonesborough’s founding, to present day. “The title of the play is a combination of a nod to the Oldest Town in Tennessee as well as a report from 1801 that referred to Jonesborough as, ‘the last town in Tennessee,’” Mason explains. “For a moment, Jonesborough was the edge of the Western frontier. We have such rich history right here, and amazing stories, and we wanted to combine all that into this production. Where else do you get a chance to include stories about John Sevier and Andrew Jackson alongside Alfred Greenlee, Beverly Jenkins of Main Street Café & Catering, and Jimmy Neil Smith. All the major American events, the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, the Civil Rights Movement, and so on, each of these played out on the local level, and this play will capture that.” The show includes a large cast of multiple ages. Characters in the play include the Shanks Oak (Jonesborough’s Heritage Tree), Julia Bullard Nelson, Jimmy Rhein, Marat Moore, David Deaderick, Jesse Walton, Ella Russell, Elihu Embree, and so many more. The play will include music and dancing and will be an experience for the whole family. The play will serve as the kick-off to the 250th celebration in Jonesborough. The First and Last Town in Tennessee will run February 27th, 28th, and March 1st. There will also be a second weekend of shows on March 6th, 7th, and 8th. Shows will take place at 7:30 pm on Fridays and Saturdays and 2:30 pm on Saturdays and Sundays. Tickets are $20.00 for general admission and $18.00 for seniors 55 and over as well as groups of 8 or more. The matinee on March 1st is a special, “Pay What You Can” performance with a $2.50 suggested donation. Seats must be reserved for all performances, including the “Pay What You Can” performance. Tickets can be purchased at Jonesborough.com/tickets or by calling the Visitors Center at 423-753-1010.
