Nashville singer, songwriter, and guitarist Andy Kahrs brings his acclaimed salute to Glen Campbell and a catalog of songs that crossed genres and generations, from Wichita Lineman and Gentle on My Mind to Rhinestone Cowboy. Since debuting at the historic El Campanil Theatre, Rhinestone has drawn enthusiastic raves at performing arts centers across the country while raising awareness for Alzheimer’s research.
Andy Kahrs is a working Nashville recording artist with a distinct roots sound built on blues, soul, and classic country. He has recorded with Grammy-winning producers Zach Allen and Bobby Holland, opened for country legend Lacy J. Dalton, and landed on Spotify’s blues editorial playlists. He performs Campbell’s catalog as a fellow musician rather than as a look-alike act, which is exactly the right register for this material.
Before he was a star, Glen Campbell was one of the most in-demand session guitarists in America, a member of the Wrecking Crew who even toured with the Beach Boys and played on Pet Sounds. A show fronted by a genuine guitarist honors that side of his legacy, and audiences with an ear for playing notice the difference immediately.
Campbell announced his Alzheimer’s diagnosis in 2011 and embarked on a farewell tour that became the acclaimed documentary Glen Campbell: I’ll Be Me. Rhinestone carries that thread forward by raising awareness for Alzheimer’s research, which makes the show a natural fit for benefit galas, community programming, and any presenter looking to pair a concert with a cause.
Campbell’s songbook reaches country, pop, folk, and gospel listeners alike, and the Jimmy Webb classics in particular are among the most beloved songs in American music. That breadth makes the show an easy programming decision for a mixed or multi-generational house.
Kahrs has drawn praise for both his voice and his playing.
“unique sound that stands out from the usual Nashville subjects” — Nashville’s Music Mecca
“exquisite guitar work, enigmatic vocals” — Critical praise cited in the artist’s press kit
Rhinestone debuted at the historic El Campanil Theatre in Antioch, California, and has since played performing arts centers and music venues from Nashville to Napa, including the prestigious Valhalla Tahoe Festival and a residency series at the Capitol Theatre in Lebanon, Tennessee, with touring dates across Arizona, Indiana, Ohio, Illinois, and California.
The show can be programmed to fit your venue and occasion:
Glen Campbell was one of the most versatile figures in American music. Before his own breakthrough he was a revered Los Angeles session guitarist with the Wrecking Crew, filling in for Brian Wilson on tour with the Beach Boys and playing on Pet Sounds. As a solo artist he released dozens of albums across five decades, sold more than 45 million records, hosted The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour on CBS, and earned a Golden Globe nomination acting opposite John Wayne in True Grit. He won five Grammy awards, placed 27 singles in the Top 10, and earned three Gospel Music Association Dove Awards.
Andy Kahrs was born and raised in Atlanta and is now based in Nashville, where he has built a reputation as one to watch in the Americana scene. He has worked with Grammy-winning producers, shared stages with Grammy-winning violinist Mads Tolling, and earned critical acclaim for recordings that blend blues, country, and bluegrass. He created Rhinestone to present Campbell’s music and memory to audiences who grew up with these songs and to listeners discovering them for the first time.
The show works because of what it refuses to be. Rather than an impersonation, it is a musician’s tribute: the songs, the stories behind them, and an honest acknowledgment of how Campbell’s final chapter turned his career into something larger. For a presenter, it is a polished, road-tested concert with genuine heart and a built-in reason for audiences to show up.
