Caleb Johnson is coming to Tusculum University Saturday, April 23.<\/p><\/div>\n

Johnson will hit the stage at 7 p.m. Saturday, April 23, in the Marilyn duBrisk Theatre with his band, the Ramblin Saints, and will continue to rock well into the evening. He will bring his special brand of rock, honed in hits such as \u201cI Just Want to Celebrate\u201d and \u201cGlory Bound,\u201d to an audience yearning to hear his thunderous voice.<\/p>\n

\u201cKick-start your spring on our campus with one of the best young talents in the business,\u201d said Jennifer Hollowell, director of Tusculum\u2019s Center for the Arts. \u201cCaleb\u2019s terrific vocals will pulsate the theatre, and the crowd will feed off his passion to present rock-n-roll at its finest. You won\u2019t want to miss one of the rising stars in rock at a bargain of a price.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tickets are just $25 apiece and can be purchased online at https:\/\/arts.tusculum.edu\/caleb-johnson\/<\/a>. Those who buy a ticket can pick them up at the will-call window at Annie Hogan Byrd Fine Arts Center, which houses the Marilyn duBrisk Theatre, the night of the concert.<\/p>\n

The event will raise funds to support Tusculum Arts Outreach<\/a>, which provides access to exceptional programs to people of all ages regardless of their income. A ticket to most Tusculum programs still costs less than a movie ticket, and the university is committed to keeping prices affordable for everyone. Financial support from the community will also provide the resources for Tusculum to bolster its arts equipment.<\/p>\n

Not only is Johnson proving himself on his own, he has also aligned himself with some of the biggest names in the business along the path. He has toured with the legendary rock band Kiss as well as Black Stone Cherry and Trans-Siberian Orchestra. His studio band includes world-class drummer Jason Bonham, son of the late John Bonham, drummer for the rock band Led Zeppelin.<\/p>\n
