Big names hitting the Smoky Mountain Center include Point of Grace, Steven Curtis Chapman, and comedian Tim Hawkins. Hawkins combines his show with twisted humor, slap stick comedy, and musical acts.

Chapman and Hawkins will appear in August while Point of Grace performs a duo concert with Laura Story in July.
