The National Center for Children’s Illustrated Literature hosts a Family Fun Saturday every weekend, from 10am to 1pm. Join the NCCIL gallery in the art studio for fun family art projects.
This masterful country stylist from Houston, Texas has been thrilling audiences for more than 50 years. At an age when most people are contemplating retirement, Gene Watson is still making some of the greatest records of his life, receiving such accolades as Album of the Year and even Album of the Decade from journalists around the world. Watson earned the title of 2010 Country Music Legend of the Year, from Citadel Media’s Real Country Radio Network nationwide fan vote.
Watson is one of the rare singers who still sings in the same key as he did 30 years ago and his audiences respond with standing ovations night after night when he nails the octave jumping last note on his most requested song, the now country classic “Farewell Party.” As Rodney Crowell so aptly stated, “Just when I think Country Music is a lost art form, something by Gene Watson catches my ear and I can breathe again.”
Considered one of the finest pure-country singers of his generation Watson offers up one of the best traditional country shows in the business. His stunning voice captivates audiences and keeps his fans coming back again and again.
Dallas Wayne is a singer, songwriter, radio DJ, voiceover artist, actor, and music producer. He considers himself lucky to make a living doing things he loves. Some might say it has more to do with talent than luck.

FRONT ROW EVENTS PRESENTSJOSH WEATHERSAugust 1st at 7:30 PM
Josh Weathers is a Fort Worth-based soulful singer-songwriter. He has spent the last 15 years honing his craft of combining songs of hope with a high-energy rock n’ soul live show. Since a video of him singing “I Will Always Love You” the classic Dolly Parton hit, went viral a few years ago, it has expanded Josh’s reach to a national and global level. Many people have compared him to the likes of John Mellencamp, Springsteen, or even Stevie Wonder, but his die-hard fan base has found something incredibly unique about his ability to connect with an audience. In late 2015, Josh and his wife Kady founded a nonprofit organization called Love Like You Mean It Intl. after a life-changing trip to India. Since the foundation began, Josh has chosen to use his platform to bring awareness to their efforts overseas. If you ever have the chance to witness a live performance…do it. You’ll be a part of something special.
