Coming off a career high from releasing their tenth studio album, I Made It, the Nashville Native Band Diamond Rio is bringing their unique sound and iconic showmanship to the Jacksonville area.

Plain White T’s — October 15, 2022 @ 8 PM
For one night only, this GRAMMY® Award-nominated, multi-platinum Chicago band is bringing their trademark electronic pop styling to the Thrasher-Horne Center. If you can read this without humming Plain White T’s pop anthems like “Hey There Delilah” or “Rhythm of Love” than this live music spectacular may not be for you — but we highly doubt it. Not only did this band rule the charts in the early 2000s, but they are still releasing hits that will live rent free in your mind for years to come.
