BREAKING DOWN FALSE DICHOTOMIES SINCE 2008 The Tennessean calls it “one of a kind,” and a “virtuoso ensemble.” “Amazing,” opined prominent Nashville music critic Peter Cooper. “It’s amazing that [Tokens] has integrated music, humor and scholarship into something so seamlessly entertaining.” T OKENSSHOW.COM ABOUT Providing provocative, thoughtful, and dare we say, intelligent entertainment, the highly acclaimed Nashville-based Tokens Show “breaks down false dichotomies.” This is, of course, a smarty-pants way of saying we bring together parties most would never dream of putting on the same stage: Academics and activists, comedians and scholars, Grammy-award winning artists and homeless street- paper vendors; banjos and cellos, spirituals and jazz, accordions and string quartets. We address issues of provocative social importance, while never taking ourselves too (darn) seriously. The Nashville Scene has recognized Tokens Radio Show as Nashville’s “premier mix” and “Best Local Variety Show,” calling it a “grass-kicking shredfest” that is a “huge success” with “genre-bending creativity.” Vince Gill says “I love this show.” PLAYERS Host Lee C. Camp is the creator and curator of Tokens Show. He has a Ph.D. in ethics from the University of Notre Dame and is professor of theology and ethics at Lipscomb University in Nashville. He is an author, award- winning teacher, and has lectured and taught in the U.S., Europe, and South America. Music Director Jeff Taylor is one of Nashville’s most sought after studio musicians, having worked with a long list of really famous people, and we’d start showing off if we started listing them. Same for all the rest of our band: like harmonica maestro Buddy Greene who tours the world as a world-class solo act, Byron House, one of Nashville’s finest bass players, Emmy- nominated solo guitarist Pete Huttlinger, Fiddle player and multiple Academy of Country Music Award winner Aubrey Haynie, and long-time Nashville drummer Chris Brown.

Best selling author Shane Claiborne calls Tokens “dazzling. magical. better than CATS . creating beauty and mischief.” And fans say of Tokens: “wow!”, “fantastic” and “UH-MAH-ZING.” SELECT GUESTS JohnnySwim S Keb’ Mo’ S Lennon and Maisy S Ricky Skaggs S Darrell Waltrip Amy Grant S Ketch Secor & Critter Fuqua of Old Crow Medicine Show S Vince Gill The Dominican Sisters of Mary S The Whites S Mike Farris and the Roseland Rhythm Revue Over the Rhine S Miroslav Volf S Walter Brueggemann S Annie Moses Band Suzy Bogguss S Cherryholmes S Andrew Peterson S Shane Claiborne S Ashley Cleveland Francis Collins S Dailey and Vincent S David Dark S Makoto Fujimura Mary Gauthier S Hal Holbrook S A.J.
