Wheeler Associates and the Wheeler Opera House present Emmylou Harris for a one-night-only concert in our historic venue, celebrating the 40th anniversary of the 1984 Grand Re-opening of the Wheeler.
A 14-time Grammy winner and Billboard Century Award recipient, Emmylou Harris’ contribution as a singer and songwriter spans 40 years. She has recorded more than 25 albums and has lent her talents to countless fellow artists’ recordings. In recognition of her remarkable career, Harris was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2008 and earned a Grammy Lifetime Achievement award in 2018.
Harris is known as much for her eloquently straightforward songwriting as for her incomparably expressive singing. Admired through her career for her talent as an artist and song connoisseur, Harris shook up country radio in the 1970s, and established herself as the premiere songwriter of a generation selling more than 15 million records and garnering 14 Grammy Awards, three CMA Awards, and four Americana Awards.

Alexis Nikole Nelson is a forager and an outdoor educator using her platform to yell, sing and celebrate all the edible plants hiding in plain sight! She invites all who will come on the foraging journey of collecting, identifying, and eating wild food. Nelson has also cooked up quite a few awards, receiving the James Beard Award for “Best Social Media” 2022, chosen for the Forbes 30 Under 30 list, chosen as a TikTok Tastemaker, and honored as part of Fortune Magazine’s Creator 25 in 2021.
With 5 million followers joining Alexis on the adventure, she reframes the world of food, asking us to consider tastefully satiating and environmentally sustainable food choices. She also peels back historical layers on African American and Indigenous food traditions that have traditionally been repressed. Whether Nelson is teaching audiences which seaweeds are delicious or turning acorns into cheese, she does so with a song and a smile. Nelson’s comedic lessons and videos direct audiences to freely accessible food options and demonstrations of tasty dishes. While delivered in a light-hearted manner, Nelson’s content has empowered those living in food deserts with greater self-sufficiency –which is no laughing matter. Nelson takes audiences into the woods and to the oceans in search of edible plants to enrich their palates and the planet.
As Alexis would say, happy snacking, don’t die!
*Registration will open in June.
