Eugene Wolf's "Book of Mamaw" at the Jackson Theatre
October 11, 2026 4:00 pm - 5:30 pm
Jackson Theatre, 121 W Main St, Jonesborough, TN 37659, USAJoin us at the Jackson Theatre on Sunday, October 11th at 4pm for Eugene Wolf's "Book of Mamaw".
The Book of Mamaw is a deeply personal, music-filled journey through the heart of Appalachia. When two-year-old Eugene wins a talent contest singing My Shoes Keep Walking Back to You, his beloved grandmother, Mamaw, knows he is destined for something special.
Raised in Greeneville, Tennessee after his father abandons the family, Eugene grows up in a world of Church of Christ hymns, Grand Ole Opry dreams, Kays Ice Cream shifts, and Avon sales calls where Mamaw proudly has him perform for her customers. From Connie Francis and Loretta Lynn to The Beatles and Barbra Streisand, Eugene discovers that music can fill the emptiness left by loss and become a bridge to hope.
Filled with humor, heart, and extraordinary performances spanning bluegrass, gospel, country, and pop, Eugene Wolf celebrates the woman who gave him everything and explores how her fierce, complicated love shaped the man and artist he would become.
"As both performer and playwright of The Book of Mamaw, Eugene Wolf succeeds at both in such a way that the presentation felt like a gift... Wolf has not learned these hymns in a workshop or seminar. He has lived these hymns."
