The evening promises to be a rich and inspiring musical experience as these two long-time friends and mutual admirers share music from their extensive catalogues as well as some of their favorite songs by other classic songwriters.

In the 25 years since the release of her debut album, she has won three Grammy Awards, including Song of the Year and Record of the Year for the hit single 'Sunny Came Home,' and has been nominated for another seven.

In 1986, his debut record, Guitar Town, shot to No. 1 on the country charts and immediately established the term "new country.
