We are also honored to host the iconic groups Tower of Power, whose electrifying blend of soul, funk, and jazz will have you dancing in your seat, and The Temptations, who will serenade you with their timeless Motown classics and smooth harmonies.
As we approach the holiday season, the angelic voices and centuries-old tradition of the Vienna Boys Choir will bring a performance that is uplifting and awe-inspiring. Finally, we are thrilled to present the celestial sounds of Grammynominated multi-platinum Irish singing sensation Celtic Woman as they bring their White Christmas Symphony Tour to our stage with Yuletide favorites, beautiful voices, and a 44-piece live orchestra, creating a magical atmosphere that captures the spirit of Christmas.
It is such a privilege to provide worldclass entertainment and unforgettable experiences at the Heindl Center. We invite you to join us for a season filled with extraordinary performances and cherished memories. We look forward to seeing you soon!

Donny Edwards is an international, multi-award-winning professional Elvis tribute artist. Today, he is one of the most sought-after performers in the business, bringing his show to stages world-wide. He is a versatile performer with the ability to re-enact each era of Elvis’ life and career. His dynamic performance will take you back to the 1950s and the early years of rock ‘n’ roll, getting you “all shook up,” all over again. Then you’ll go on a ride through the 1960s from Elvis’ biggest hit movies to the famous black leather ‘68 Comeback Special. Finally, you’ll revisit the legendary Las Vegas years of the 1970s as Donny recreates the performances that made Elvis the one and only “King of Rock ‘n’ Roll.”

Jeff Foxworthy is one of the most respected and successful comedians in the country. He is the largest selling comedy-recording artist in history, a multiple Grammy Award nominee, and best-selling author of more than 26 books. In 2014, he was inducted into the Georgia Music Hall of Fame. Widely known for his redneck jokes, his act goes well beyond that to explore the humor in everyday family interactions and human nature, a style that has been compared to Mark Twain’s.
Tammy Pescatelli, one of the hardest working women in comedy today, brings brassy sexiness with a bold voice of witty sarcasm to her audiences, holding her own on the topics of sports, television, dating, and family life using tongue-in-cheek humor.

For over 55 years, Tower of Power has delivered the best in funk and soul music. Bump City, their 1972 debut for the label, was a hit on both the Billboard 200 and the R&B Albums chart, and netted them the hits “You’re Still A Young Man” and “Down to The Nightclub.” The 70s were a boom period with radio classics like “So Very Hard to Go” and “What Is Hip?,” and the band continued to tour and record over the years. In 2018, they returned to Oakland to celebrate their landmark 50th anniversary. Tower’s window-rattling grooves and raucous party spirit has been a balm for the soul throughout their half-century existence, but the release of 50 Years of Funk & Soul: Live at the Fox Theater couldn’t have arrived at a better time.

The Vienna Boys Choir is one of the most famous and oldest choirs in the world. In 1498, Emperor Maximilian I moved his court to Vienna to establish the Chapel Imperial there along with the Vienna Boys Choir. Over the centuries, the court attracted musicians like Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Anton Bruckner. Joseph Haydn, Michael Haydn, and Franz Schubert were themselves choirboys. Today, the Vienna Boys Choir is a private, non-profit organization that relies on sponsorship and donations. The Choir maintains a primary, junior, and senior high school. 300 boys and girls between the ages of 6 and 19 attend the Choir’s Schools in Vienna’s Augarten park. All receive individual voice lessons and sing in one of the choirs. The Choir’s education is open to all, regardless of their origin, nationality, or religion.
