- **Event Name**: Paul McDonald & the Mourning Doves with John Trufant
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 28 Feb, 2026 at 08:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Born in Alabama and baptized in the dive bars of the southeast, Paul McDonald first made noise with the Grand Magnolias, a roots-rock outfit, before catching fire in the public eye during American Idol's 2011 run.

When the bright lights blurred and the cameras turned, the man behind the voice slipped into the shadows where he did what real artists do: He lived, he lost, and he wrote. Retreating to Nashville, that holy city of reinvention, Paul stitched himself back together with worn boots, hard
songs, and a new band called The Mourning Doves.

Now, in 2025, the giant has stirred the release of “So Long to the Dark Side” - a gospel tinged reckoning wrapped in cosmic Americana and lit with songs that sound like they were scribbled on the edge of a breakdown and sung back from the brink. Raised on Petty, Parsons, and
pain, Paul McDonald is not chasing trends, he's conjuring something older and truer. His live performances are equal parts revival and rock séance.

John Trufant will be opening the show.  His feet are sunk deep in the Bayous of South Louisiana and his head is lost in the Mountains of Appalachia. Singer and writer John Trufant plays tribute to his roots and all that shapes him. Touches of soul, blues, country and roots through and through. John and his band will be opening up the evening.
