Heavy Wrecker & Friends Tribute to The Eagles Saturday, November 14, 2026 at 7:00PM
Join us on November 14 at 7:00, as Billy, Will, and Dustin—Heavy Wrecker—have done it again: they’ve once again assembled a fantastic ‘supergroup’ of local musicians and vocalists to pay tribute to The Eages—6-time Grammy winners, inductees into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, with an album (Their Greatest Hits (1971–1975) that became the first album ever to achieve RIAA Quadruple Diamond certification, representing over 40 million units sold in the United States, and creators of one of the most popular rock songs of all time, Hotel California.
Ever since the Led Zeppelin tribute the band organized in 2019—which was the most successful concert of purely local musicians since Screamin’ Freeman’s 24-hour Guinness World Record concert in 1999!—Billy Youngblood and his crew have led the community into a growing appreciation of the historic Lyric Theater by paying tribute to the musical craftsman who have shaped their playing and our culture as a whole. The music of Led Zeppelin, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Tom Petty, and Eric Clapton has made for a unifying showcase of the talents of several local bands, and now The Eagles music will do the same. This promises to be another experience Harrison area music lovers will talk about for years, and one well worth coming from out of town to see. Tickets will be on sale SOON!
Featuring fabulous musicians and vocalists such as Beci Coffey, Julianna Hamblin, Greg James, Billy Youngblood, Kent Coffey, Keith Lee, Dustin Witty, and Will Youngblood, this is sure to be a night you won’t want to miss!

British fantasy author Linzi Day has extended a modern truism about friendship to say, “A good friend will help you bury a body. A great friend brings their own shovel. But your best friend will bring a bottle of wine, several shovels and ask no questions.” Laid-back sportswriter Oscar Madison, though, would consider all of that a trivial tradeoff for what his friendship got him: a life turned completely upside down by his inviting a friend to move in with him when divorce leaves that friend homeless and suicidal. Phlegmatic, hyper-neurotic, neat-freak newswriter Felix Ungar would qualify as Linzi Day’s best friend exemplar only if he used those several shovels to bury himself…although at least the bottle of wine he brought would be of the highest quality. Yet, somehow these polar opposites have been friends for a long time and their attempt to navigate their differences in Neil Simon’s The Odd Couplehas delighted every audience for over 60 years, and will certainly do the same as the Ozark Arts Council brings this story to life in the intimate dinner theatre setting of the historic 12 Oaks Estate, September 24–27.
Neil Simon’s classic comedy opens on a weekly poker game in the apartment of divorced sportswriter Oscar Madison (Trey Crowder)…and if the mess is any indication, it’s no wonder that his wife left him! The apartment is smoke-filled, and the only thing Oscar has provided for his guests is warm Coke and moldy sandwiches. Late to arrive is Felix Ungar (Jayden Bradshaw), who has just been thrown out by his wife. Fastidious, depressed, and none too tense, Felix seems suicidal, which leads Oscar to invite Felix to be his roommate. However, as Felix takes on the domestic mantle in the apartment and proves just how difficult he is to live with, Oscar is driven to the edge of madness. Poker nights are no longer evenings of smoke, grubbiness, and blokey behavior; instead, the guys (Bailey Kolb’s ‘Murray’, Spencer Hinrichs as ‘Speed’, ‘Roy’ played by William Callas, and Tyler Bracken’s ‘Vinnie’) are waited on hand and foot by Felix. Will Felix save the friendship by making possible a double-date with the beautiful Pigeon sisters (Lena Rocole, Emily Stipe), as Oscar has planned, or will the clean freak and the slob come to blows, and the ultimate ‘Odd Couple’ go their separate ways? Whatever the result, the tension their differences cause brings hilarious results!
Tickets are now available for this Tony Award-winning comedy, presented four times at 12 Oaks with different food courses. Thursday, September 24, the performance will come after a 6:00 charcuterie and the intermission between acts will feature various desserts. On Friday and Saturday, September 25 and 26, a full dinner will be served at 6:00. On Sunday, September 27, brunch will be served at 1:00, followed by the performance.
Seating, of course, is much more limited than at the Lyric, and it is expected that all performances of The Odd Couple will be sold out prior to the event, so it is advised to purchase your tickets quickly.
