The Brownville Concert Series will present Sally Mayes in “An Evening with Sally Mayes.” The New York Times calls her ‘incandescent, deliciously saucy.’ People Magazine describes her as “the kind of rich theatrical voice that elevates a show tune.” Time Magazine says, “Sally Mayes renders songs as richly nuanced as one-act plays.” The shows will be in cabaret on Friday and Saturday, May 15 and 16, at 7:30 p.m., and in concert Sunday, May 17, at 2:00 p.m. The shows are sponsored by the J. Randel Smith and Jane Crooker Smith Charitable Trust.

Mayes has also made several appearances on television and in film.
