MARBLE FALLS — For the fourth year in a row, legendary fiddle player Johnny Gimble with The Marshall Ford Swing Band will bring some annual holiday festivities to the Uptown Marble Theater Saturday.
The performance is 8 p.m. at the theater, 218 Main St.
A local favorite for many years after performing with Texas Swing legend Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys, Gimble keeps it in the family this year with help from his granddaughter Emily Gimble’s band, promoters said.
This multigenerational show represents the best of small-town entertainment that will be as “down-home” as Main Street gets, organizers said.
Emily and Johnny Gimble are each powerhouse musicians in their own right, but together they resonate with the very roots of Western swing. Emily Gimble, the most recent recruit to the family business, grew up regularly singing a tune or two with her father and grandfather on gigs close to home. And though she has studied music, her finest lessons have been homegrown, she said.
Following in her father’s and grandfather’s footsteps as an instrumentalist, she sometimes takes an outing on guitar or mandolin but her main axe is indisputably the piano.
In this configuration with the Marshall Ford Swing Band, she shares center stage with her band mates; their vocal selections and arrangements bring an entirely new layer to the Gimble family musical legacy.
These collaborating musicians celebrate their musical partnership with confidence, great delivery and vocals that signal the great Texas Swing music of the past has brought forth a new generation, promoters said.
Tickets are $12 in advance, $15 at the door and $20 for limited reserved table seating, and are available online at www.uptownmarble.com; at the R-Bar & Grill, 904 Third St.; or by calling the theater at (830) 693-9996.
