NASHVILLE – Live On Stage and the Cullman Community Concert Association have announced award-winning songwriter Victoria Banks as part of their 2016 – 2017 concert season. In a world where authenticity often takes a backseat to marketability, Victoria’s music is a unique breath of fresh air. Please join this hit songwriter in an intimate performance at the Betty Leeth Haynes Theatre on the campus of Wallace Stage Community College on Tuesday, Sept. 13 at 7 p.m. Single tickets will be available at the door for $30 (adults) and students are free with a paid adult.
Banks’ list of accolades as an artist is long. Her self-produced, self-penned records “When You Can Fly” and “Never Be the Same” made her 2009’s most nominated female artist in Canadian Country Music Association, earned her the 2010 CCMA Female Artist of the Year award, and sent her out on tour with superstars Reba McEntire, Wynonna Judd, Lonestar, Randy Travis and Johnny Reid.
But songwriting is her first love. Hardship hones a songwriter’s craft like a sword forged in fire, and songwriting became a form of self-discovery for Victoria that helped her escape an abusive marriage and survive a parent’s suicide.
Banks’ impressive catalog of hits includes three cuts by Sara Evans, including “Can’t Stop Loving You” (a duet with Isaac Slade of The Fray), and the ASCAP and SOCAN-award-winning “Saints & Angels.” She penned Jessica Simpson’s Billboard record-breaking country debut “Come On Over,” X Factor winner Tate Steven’s “Ordinary Angels,” One More Girl’s breakout hit “When It Ain’t Raining,” Doc Walker’s chart-topping “I’m Gonna Make You Love Me” and Johnny Reid’s smash “Dance with Me,” for which Banks was named 2010 CCMA Songwriter of the Year.
Said Banks, “Life is painful and impossible and breathtaking and beautiful. I have to write what I feel.”
The Cullman Community Concert Association was established in 1949. The organization is committed to bring a wide variety of entertainment of the highest caliber to the community at a reasonable price.
