Come on Nashville Get Happy with David Cassidy

Saturday May 6, 2006
Looking for the perfect Mother’s Day gift? Give Mom a rockin’ weekend with David Cassidy on May 13th at the Acuff Theatre (adjacent to the Grand Ole Opry) featuring a full concert by Grammy-nominated David Cassidy, best known as “Keith Partridge” of “The Partridge Family” television show from the ‘70s.

With his shag hairdo, flared pants and polyester outfits, David Cassidy’s “Keith Partridge” was the object of teenage-girls’ affections throughout the 1970s. Millions of people tuned in to watch him and the cast of “The Partridge Family” each week.

Many of these 1970s’ teenage fans are now today’s “desperate housewives” and will relish the opportunity to step back in time and enjoy a concert by their former teen idol, David Cassidy.

The Partridge Family's first album sold more copies than the Beatles' "Let it Be," and it launched Cassidy's wildly successful career as a pop star, musician and teen idol. Several Partridge Family songs became top hits, including the theme "Come On Get Happy" and "I Think I Love You," which sold four million copies.

Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center is also offering a Mother’s Day Package, starting at $159 that includes tickets to the concert and Mother's Day Brunch. Check out their VIP package- it includes a meet and greet with David Cassidy!
