Tim Atwood confides, “Playing the Midnite Jamboree always makes me smile. For years I backed so many artists on the jamboree stage. Now when I play in the spotlight, I bow my head before the curtain opens, in gratitude. This show is a part of our heritage–our musical thread–that connects us to our past and propels us into the future. Like Jeannie, I admire and respect David McCormick for keeping this tradition alive.”
Jeannie Seely has hosted the Midnight Jamboree many times over her career and a favorite highlight is the guest artist performances. She will once again host her holiday benefit of the Ernest Tubb Midnight Jamboree show “Santa Paws” on December 19, 2020 to collect items and donations for the local pet rescue organizations.
