"Spider-Man: Homecoming," Thur.,
The perfect grand finale to our summer of Family Friendly Movies, the new Spider-Man: Homecoming is clever, fun and true to the Spider-Man spirit, according to all the positive reviews, which agree that this take on everyone's favorite web-slinger is thoroughly entertaining.
It's a fun, tween-friendly adventure with one of Marvel's most enduringly popular characters. Starring an actual teen, Tom Holland, as the super-hero high-schooler Peter Parker, the story takes young Spidey home after his experience with the Avengers and now under the watchful eye of mentor Tony Stark. He starts to embrace his newfound identity as Spider-Man, but he also tries to return to his normal daily routine. But, of course, that can't last long and Peter must soon put his powers to the test when the evil Vulture emerges to threaten everything that he holds dear.
It's an exclusive two-day-only run. Wed.-Thurs, Aug. 2-3, 3 and 7 pm. Tickets $7 adults, $5 children 12 and under

Dan Cowan Presents "Somewhere Called Now,"
Sat. Aug. 5, 8 pm
Savannah native and three-time Grammy nominee Daniel Cowan, aka
Dan Random
, has released "Somewhere Called Now," his debut science fiction novel - set in Savannah -- with original music soundtrack.
This performance at Tybee Post Theater will be a unique reading and listening experience, which weaves excerpts from the science fiction novel with original music from the soundtrack performed by the five-piece alternative pop/rock Dan Random Band.
Cowan, born and raised in Savannah, is an author, musician, singer, composer, and producer with nine CDs and three Grammy nominations under his belt. He recorded his first album in Savannah and Savannah radio stations were the first to play his singles. Now, in the last ten years, he has written and copyrighted close to one hundred musical compositions, in addition to his new novel.
Cowan's professional moniker, Dan Random, evolved from his ability to compress several styles of music into a common thread that is unmistakably distinctive and entertaining.
Sat. Aug. 5, 8 pm. Tickets, $10 general admission

An Evening with David Olney,
Fri., Aug. 18, 8 pm

His new "Don't Try to Fight It" recording was produced by award-winning singer-songwriter Brock Zeman and reunites David with Red Parlor Records, which released 2007's acclaimed "One Tough Town" album.
Olney's music has been prominently featured in ABC-TV's "Nashville" and his songs have been recorded by Emmylou Harris, Linda Ronstadt, Del McCoury, Tim O'Brien, Front Country, Slaid Cleaves and Steve Young, among many others. Well-known for his energetic live performances packed with such an intensity, they leave audiences with a truly memorable experience.

"...While music is a subjective thing, it's almost a certainty that everyone who gives [David] Olney a listen comes away a fan of the man's ability to turn a phrase." (The Daily Times - Knoxville, TN)

Tybee City Limits with Kris Youmans Band and Abe Partridge,
Sat. Sept. 19, 8 pm
We're bringing two soon-to-be-country superstars to the stage this month. You'll be telling everyone you saw them first - and together -- at the Tybee Post Theater.
First up is Abe Partridge from Mobile, Ala., and who has appeared at the Post in our Savannah Songwriters Series. He's a former Baptist preacher, Iraq war veteran and now, a lauded singer-songwriter. One reviewer said recently, "I can count on one hand how many live performances I have seen that gripped me, shook me up, and rattled me to the core. Abe Partridge is among them. His astonishing songwriting combined with his shocking performance will haunt you, and his studio recordings equally as strong! His alt-country album, "White Trash Lipstick" was recorded in Nashville.
Following Abe is another veteran of our stage. Kris Youmans & Her Mighty Fine Band, winner of the 2016 Georgia Country Awards for Traditional Artist. Youmans' songwriting style is strongly Roots influenced, and as traditional and southern as her hometown of Savannah. Her band, now based in Newnan, and including Barefoot Slim on Steel Guitar, David Puett on Guitar, Patrick Thompson Bass and Jerry Lee Percussion, help to achieve that high and lonesome sound which is the signature to their shows.
Sat. Aug. 19, 8 pm. Tickets $15 adults, $10 children 12 and under.
