Johnny & the Devil's Box: In Concert

Goodspeed by the River

July 22 - Aug 1

Wielding his fiery fiddle, composer/performer Douglas Waterbury-Tieman, is joined by Annabelle Fox and a sizzling bluegrass band for a concert version of the foot-stompin' new musical Johnny & the Devil’s Box. Everything is on the line when Johnny—the best fiddler around—is challenged to a battle of the bows by the devil himself. With one foot in the Georgia Mountains and one foot in the Grand Ole Opry these songs will stir your soul.

Music and Lyrics by Douglas Waterbury-Tieman
Music Supervision by Scott Wasserman
