CLEVELAND, Miss. \u2014 <\/strong>The Bologna Performing Arts Center (BPAC) at Delta State University will open its Fall 2026 Mainstage Series with award-winning country singer-songwriter Jamey Johnson on Thursday, September 10 at 7:30 p.m. Limited seats remain for this one-night-only performance.<\/p>\n

Widely regarded as one of the most respected voices in modern country music, Johnson has spent nearly two decades bridging the gap between traditional country and contemporary sound. A 10-time GRAMMY nominee and Grand Ole Opry member, he has earned widespread acclaim for both his haunting baritone and masterful songwriting, with The Washington Post calling him \u201cone of the greatest country singers of our time.\u201d His career includes multiple Song of the Year honors for hits like \u201cIn Color\u201d and \u201cGive It Away,\u201d along with a catalog of deeply personal, story-driven music recorded by legends such as George Strait and Willie Nelson.<\/p>\n

Johnson\u2019s newest project, Midnight Gasoline, marks his first solo studio album in 14 years and stands among the most anticipated country releases of the last decade. Recorded at the famed Cash Cabin Studio, the album continues his legacy of honest, emotionally rich songwriting while showcasing new material shaped by both personal growth and artistic evolution. Known for his authenticity and dedication to the craft, Johnson remains a defining voice in country music, celebrated for songs that explore themes from self-destruction to self-redemption.<\/p>\n

His award-winning song \u201cIn Color\u201d received a 5X-Platinum Award for reaching 5 million in sales\/ streams. \u201cHigh Cost of Living\u201d received a Platinum Award for 1 million in sales\/streams, and the songs \u201cThat Lonesome Song\u201d and \u201cBetween Jennings and Jones\u201d received Gold Awards for sales\/streams of 500,000. Rolling Stone says he \u201c\u2026 turns out to be [country\u2019s] most reliable traditionalist, a Music Row pro who can write a song for every emotional season,\u201d and describes the album as \u201ca two-disc dissertation on the art of country music songwriting.\u201d<\/p>\n

Opening the evening will be Sadie McLayne, a rising artist from Tuscaloosa, Alabama whose sound blends country, soul, and rock. With years of live performance experience on lower Broadway in Nashville and a growing regional following, she is quickly emerging as an exciting new voice in the genre.<\/p>\n
