Buller to play Park Theater

Becky Buller will perform at the Park Theater in McMinnville at 7 p.m., Saturday, March 21 at 115 W Main St., McMinnville. Buller is the recipient of 10 IBMA awards, including the 2016 Fiddler and Female Vocalist. “It’s always extra fun to get to play for the home folks,” Buller said. “This will be our first time at the beautifully restored Park Theater in McMinnville. Our show is part of their first-ever bluegrass series. Come on out and help us pack the place. Let’s show them that they need to bring more bluegrass and Americana roots music to town. Coffee County and surrounding area residents no longer need go far to experience high-quality entertainment from around the world. Thanks to all the people who are keeping the lights on for the arts.”
