Nathan Chester & The Old Soul's Motown Revival - March 5th

Fresh from his Top 4 finish on NBC's The Voice Season 25, Nathan Chester brings his Old Soul's Motown Revival to The Acorn for one unforgettable night.

Often compared to Randy Travis, Tony's emotionally-charged voice has garnered over 100 million views on social media. With multiple Grand Ole Opry performances and chart-topping hits like "The Grand Tour" and "Country Road," Tony delivers real traditional country music the way it's meant to be heard.
