The French Family Band takes the stage of Trenton Performing Arts Center on Saturday, February 28th at 7PM as the next concert in the Art’s Alive 2025-2026 Season.

Nashville-based but hailing from Australia/New Zealand, this family band features Stuie & Camille French on guitars/vocals, and son Sonny on guitars/vocals. Taking inspiration from the country and western swing icons of decades past, one can hear echoes of Chet Atkins, Anne Murray, and Merle Haggard in the covers and originals they perform. When Covid hit, the French Family pivoted to Facebook Live concerts from home and developed a following of nearly 180,000. Since then, the band has appeared on stage at the Grand Ole Opry several times and won four Australian Golden Guitar Awards. The uncommon gifts of Camille, Stuie and Sonny rival the stars of country’s Golden Age.

The mission of Art’s Alive is to present affordable entertainment, promote education in the realm of the fine arts, and provide exposure to the arts in its many forms to residents of Grundy County and surrounding areas.

For season membership holders, tickets are free. For those without season tickets, there will be tickets available in advance at the Hy-Vee Customer service desk or at the door on the night of the concert. Tickets are $15 for adults and $5 for children. Thanks to sponsorship from area schools, tickets are free for NCMC students and for Trenton R9 Fine Arts students.
