Having a childhood where my mother raised me on Statler Brothers music (her favorite band), this concert was a true blessing for me. Lost Mom a dozen years ago, and mentioned this to Mr. Fortune and he signed an autograph for HER on the CD I bought. Very gracious man who delivered a stellar concert with his great band. Had the time of my life. Thank you, Jimmy.

Absolutely outstanding!!! Anyone who passed on this event missed an unforgettable experience. Jimmy Fortune has a voice unparalleled in country and gospel music. The playlist covered his career from the Statler Brothers through his solo albums to covers of some of his favorite songs. Each member of the band had an opportunity to showcase her & his talents, and the audience clearly enjoyed the entire evening. Five stars really is not enough. Thank you Jimmy and band.

Jimmy's concerts are always, always fabulous. I don't know how he does it, but all of his audiences are grateful that he comes again and again. He never fails to sing my most favorite Christmas song, O Holy Night, My friend said that when we go to his concert, that is the start of Christmas for us. We usually go to Antioch Church in Woodstock, VA but wasn't able to get there this year, but Weyers Cave was well worth the extra distance to get there. Thank you, Jimmy and your woderful musicians that you have and I think its wonderful how you are always looking for and supporting young talent trying to get that start. God Bless you for sharing your God given talents especially to 2 widows who are enjoying life and you play a big part in that. Blessings, Martie and Lee

About Jimmy Fortune
Jimmy Fortune toured, sang and performed with the legendary Statler Brothers for 21 years. He joined them first as a temporary replacement for Lew DeWitt, after DeWitt heard him singing at a ski resort and recommended him. Following an audition in Nashville, Jimmy was contacted by the Statler Brothers and performed his first show with them on January 28, 1982, in Savannah, Georgia. Due to the debilitating effects of Crohn’s Disease, Lew was unable to return to the stage with the Statlers, and Jimmy was hired as a permanent replacement in August of 1982.
Fortune quickly lived up to his name. He wrote the group's second No. 1 hit, "Elizabeth," on their 1983 album Today, and followed that with two more No. 1 hits--"My Only Love" (from 1984's Atlanta Blue) and "Too Much On My Heart" (from 1985's Pardners in Rhyme). Fortune also wrote the top-10 hit "Forever" from 1986's Four for the Show and co-wrote the top-10 hit "More Than a Name on the Wall" from 1988's The Greatest Hits.
Jimmy has performed in all of the U.S. States, in Canadian Providences, and in front of audiences as large as 100,000. He was part of the Statlers’ annual Happy Birthday USA celebration in Staunton, Virginia, for 14 years. He also sang on many of the Statlers’ gold, platinum, and double platinum recordings. Jimmy’s career included The Nashville Network’s popular “The Statler Brothers Show” which aired for seven seasons and debuted in 1991 as the highest rated show for the network. Jimmy was privileged to perform at the White House on two occasions, once for President Ronald Reagan, and once for President George H. W. Bush. He also presented a special gift to actress Elizabeth Taylor by singing his song “Elizabeth” to her for a birthday celebration.
Jimmy and The Statler Brothers were inducted into the GMA (Gospel Music Association) Hall of Fame on October 29, 2007, and inducted into the CMA (Country Music Association) Hall of Fame in June 29, 2008.
After the Statler Brothers retired on October 26, 2002, Jimmy seized the opportunity to launch a solo career to share new music with his fans. His first solo CD, When One Door Closes, was released August 2003 on Audium/Koch. He released a gospel album, I Believe, in June 2005, a Christmas CD, Feels Like Christmas, in 2006, a live concert DVD in 2007 and another country CD, “Windows” in 2009. Jimmy is currently living in Nashville, writing for Melrose Entertainment, and touring.
