- The Life of Legendary Jazz Pianist Beegie Adair Celebrated With Free Concert
The June 9th tribute featured renowned artists from multiple musical genres.
As she did in life, internationally recognized jazz pianist Beegie Adair brought musicians, fans, friends, and neighbors together once again as her remarkable life and achievements were celebrated in an all-star free concert on June 9, 2023, at 8:00 pm at The Franklin Theatre in the town she loved and called home.
Musicians and friends from almost every chapter of the legendary pianist’s career celebrated the life and music of Beegie Adair in an evening of tribute. The event was free and open to the public through the generosity of The Franklin Theatre which donated space and production. Reservations were required and the event was streamed live for fans around the world to see and hear this magical evening.
The event included performances by: Delbert McClinton; Monica Ramey; Charlie McCoy; Lukas Nelson; Mandy Barnett; Lori Mechem and Roger Spencer who, with the support of Beegie, founded the Nashville Jazz Workshop; jazz pianists Billy Stritch and Tamir Hendelman; along with her dear friends and music-mates George Tidwell; Denis Solee; Andy Reiss; Rick Reed; Jim Ferguson; producer Jeff Steinberg; and others. The event will be officiated by friend, actor, and songwriter Clifton Davis, who recorded an album with the Beegie Adair Trio in 2020.
“We are overwhelmed by the amount of love and support Beegie’s dear friends and musical mates have shown us during the planning of this special event,” said her longtime friend, frequent collaborator, and manager, Monica Ramey.
“Beegie’s entire life was one lived in music, and she simply loved to play. She shared her talents with the world, and the world loved her right back. This night would have humbled her, and we know it will be a night Beegie would have loved.”
Beegie Adair moved to Nashville from her home in Cave City, KY in 1961, and began performing in Music City’s famous Printer’s Alley with jazz guitarist Hank Garland. Her talents were quickly discovered and she became an in-demand studio and side musician, playing with artists ranging from Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton and Chet Atkins to Lucille Ball, Carol Burnett and Henry Mancini. She toured the world with her trio, making periodic stops in New York at Birdland and Feinstein’s/54 Below with Monica Ramey. In 2016, The Beegie Adair Trio was invited to perform at Carnegie Hall, making them the first jazz trio from Nashville to ever headline the legendary venue. Their sold-out debut appearance became an annual affair until her passing.
In 1991, Beegie began releasing her own studio recordings, often collaborating with musician friends with whom she had performed through the years. Over the last four decades, her trio released over 37 albums that sold over three million copies.
“Without the generosity of the extraordinary performers, the management and staff of The Franklin Theatre and the Nashville Jazz Workshop, two nonprofit organizations dear to Beegie’s heart, this evening of extraordinary free music would not have been possible,” Ramey said.
“We hope that those watching will make generous contributions in Beegie’s honor to these remarkable organizations,” she concluded.

I’m so sorry that I only discovered Beegie about 8 years ago, but have listened to her almost every day since. Her skill and touch of the piano is unmatched. So sad all that talent has gone. One of the greatest musicians ❤
Beegie Adaire is unbeatable. With her understanding of art, she has given the music world a new magic. Her repertoire with her heart shines and enchants everyone at her Memorial Concert & Celebration - Full Event with her smile. Thanks very much! Also Monica Ramey is doing a great job. She remains a gifted companion to Beegie. Thank you for the many letters and notifications that Monica allows us to participate. Monica especially contributes to this concert. Monica carries on the soul and memory of Beegie Adaire. All the musicians who have been accompanying Beegie for so long and who share their sound with Beegie are great. Many thanks to everyone here for letting us be there. Thank you and special thanks to Monica!
Beautifully put. Beegie was such a treasure and Monica surely is too. Their wonderful music is timeless.

I went to her home years ago.She had been sick and had a few people in her home and charged a small fee to listen to her beautiful music.
