Although Kenneth Threadgill is synonymous with Austin, he is a product of the blackland soil of Northeast Texas. He was born in 1909 in Peniel, a community just north of Downtown Greenville. In memory and celebration of Kenneth Threadgill, Friends of Main Street is sponsoring a concert series that will bring his kind of music to Greenville. This series will showcase established artists performing Texas and Americana music. Our inaugural show was a great success and featured Guy Clark and Bruce Robison. The concerts are held at the historic Municipal Auditorium in Downtown Greenville. The Auditorium was built in 1939 as a public works project of the Roosevelt administration. The Auditorium has hosted a wide range of artists over the years, from Elvis Presley to Duke Ellington to the Dixie Chicks. The Auditorium seats 1,734 on the main level and balcony.
