Lainey Wilson to Play Two Intimate Fundraiser Shows at Ellis Theater
Country music star Lainey Wilson will perform two acoustic sets at the historic Ellis Theater in Philadelphia, Mississippi, on October 20, 2026. These exclusive shows aim to raise essential funds for the completion of Marty Stuart’s Congress of Country Music, a project dedicated to preserving the genre’s heritage through performance and education.
The performances, scheduled for 5:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m., offer a rare, stripped-back experience for fans familiar with the Grammy winner’s recent stadium tours alongside Chris Stapleton. Marty Stuart, the project’s founder and a Country Music Hall of Famer, praised Wilson’s authenticity and her ability to connect deeply with listeners, noting that her presence at the venue underscores a commitment to creating memorable musical moments in downtown Philadelphia.
Wilson’s career trajectory has been defined by nine No. 1 singles, including "Heart Like a Truck" and "Watermelon Moonshine," as well as her recent success with the deluxe edition of her album, Whirlwind. Her appearance at the Ellis Theater serves as a cornerstone for the Congress of Country Music, which functions as both a museum and a center for artistic development. Tickets for the fundraiser become available to the public on Friday, August 7, at 10 a.m. through the theater’s official website.
