Scott Kirby’s Main Street Souvenirs

Scott Kirby’s Main Street Souvenirs

November 13 @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm

$17 – $35

Package Tickets on Sale August 18

Individual Tickets on Sale September 1

Step into the heart of America’s past with Scott Kirby’s Main Street Souvenirs, a moving blend of live music, storytelling, and stunning visuals that captures the spirit of Classic Americana.

Through masterful live piano performances, Scott Kirby brings to life more than 150 years of American music, featuring the timeless works of Stephen Foster, John Philip Sousa, Scott Joplin, and other influential composers who helped shape the nation’s musical heritage.

Accompanying the music is a beautifully crafted cinematic presentation featuring nostalgic archival photographs, breathtaking landscapes, and Kirby’s own watercolor paintings inspired by the Great Plains. Together, these images evoke cherished memories of small-town America—from baseball games and barbershops to prairie churches, one-room schoolhouses, and concerts in the park.

Filled with warmth, nostalgia, and heartfelt storytelling, Main Street Souvenirs is a tribute to the people, places, and music that continue to define the American spirit.
