On Thursday, May 28th, at 6:00 pm, we will be showing a screening of the new documentary, "My Home's in Alabama, the Randy Owen Story," at the ROC Concert Hall.

Randy Yeuell Owen was born on December 13, 1949, in Fort Payne, Alabama, to Martha and Gladstone. From church singings to country chart toppers, this documentary spans a life of humble beginnings to superstardom. One thing has been consistent; Randy’s home has always been in Alabama, atop Lookout Mountain on the beautiful rim of Little River Canyon. Join us for this special screening before the documentary premieres on Alabama Public Television.

Tickets are on sale now!
