He urged the audience to continue in their pursuit of motivation and inspiration as they opened their minds and their hearts to the event.

The Coach Micheal Burt Concert Series highlights "Small Towns, Big Dreams" tour

Combining his generosity of charitable contributions with his appreciation for the arts, Coach Micheal Burt has partnered with the Art Center of Cannon County (Woodbury, Tenn.) during a five date concert series.

Known throughout Middle Tennessee as an enthusiast for pioneering and partnering with charity functions including most recently his “Small Towns, Big Dreams” tour, Coach Burt will be the title sponsor creating the Coach Micheal Burt Concert Series.

“As we grow in life we get the opportunity to go back to where it all started and make a difference,” said Coach Burt, about returning to his hometown. “One of the reasons I'm where I am today is because Dr. Daryl Deason invested in me when I was 15-years old.

He taught me how to speak, dream big, and act on my dreams. When he asked me to sponsor this series I gladly accepted. Cannon County is known for several things around the mid-south and one of those is the Arts Center. I look forward to the series and the opportunity to partner with this cause."

The event kicks off on March 2 at 7:30 p.m. with legendary performer Leon Redbone. Traditionally known for his trademark fedora and dark sunglasses, Redbone will perform his three decades worth of unique finger-picking guitar style.
