Jenny Tolman
2026-05-16 19:00 - 21:00 | The Legacy Theater, 1160 Buchanan St., Carthage, IL, 62321, United States
Fresh from Keith Urban’s The Road, Nashville native Jenny Tolman is your “ride or die” kind of artist. Billboard artist and nationally recognized country performer, her songs make audiences laugh, cry, stomp their feet, clap their hands & shake their heads in wonder at her incisive, story-like lyrics. With a razor-sharp wit & a throwback sound, she is this generation’s Roger Miller- just as funny, just as flashy, but from a decidedly feminine perspective.
