Mississippi gets Larry Fleet twice in three nights next week, and Hattiesburg gets the Saturday. Larry Fleet plays the Hattiesburg Saenger Theater on Saturday, Nov. 7, at 7 p.m., the third stop in a short Deep South swing on his From A Barstool Tour that runs Philadelphia, Miss., on Thursday the 5th, Dothan, Ala., on Friday the 6th, then 201 Forrest St. on Saturday.

The Saenger's own listing calls him a platinum-selling singer-songwriter and promises his full live show. For a room that holds just under a thousand, that's the appeal: a voice built for arenas in a theatre where the back row is still close to the stage.

The tour takes its name from Fleet's "Live From A Bar Stool" series — stripped-down performances of songs from his latest album. In May he took the idea back into the studio with an acoustic video for "Baseball on the Radio," filmed at Welcome to 1979, the Nashville studio where he made the record.

That record is *Another Year Older*, released in February. It's his fourth studio album and his first in partnership with Stellar Way Records/EMPIRE, following 2023's *Earned It* and his move away from Big Loud. Fleet produced it entirely himself and co-wrote nine of its eleven tracks. His team describes it as his most ambitious and introspective project yet, with songs about growth, gratitude and staying grounded. "American Made" and "Both Sides of the Fence" were the singles that led into it.

The fall run opened in Roanoke, Va., in September and wound through the Northeast and the Carolinas before this Southern leg. After Hattiesburg it heads north to Springfield, Mo., Des Moines and a final stop at Green Bay's Meyer Theater on Nov. 14. According to our records he hasn't played Hattiesburg before, which makes Saturday a first for a lot of the people in the seats.

The Saenger is a good place for a first time. The downtown theatre is on the National Register of Historic Places, and with 997 seats it's a room where a singer known for a big, plain-spoken voice can sit back and let the songs do the work. Downtown on a Saturday also means dinner and a drink nearby before the 7 p.m. start.

What to know before you go: tickets are on Ticketmaster through the link on our page, and the Saenger box office can be reached at 601-584-4888 if you'd rather buy in person or have questions about seating. The 7 p.m. start is early, so plan to be in your seat on time rather than catching the first songs from the lobby. If you're coming from out of town, the Philadelphia and Dothan dates on either side are also options, but Hattiesburg is the Saturday-night show of the three.

Country fans in the Pine Belt don't always get a singer this close to the top of his game in a room this size. Pull up a seat on the 7th — this is a night for a barstool kind of songwriter in a velvet-seat kind of theatre.
