James Dupré and Jacob Tolliver will appear at GRAMMY Museum® Mississippi on Wednesday, Jan. 21, for a special program celebrating the opening of The Killer, The Preacher and the Cowboy: The Legacies of Jerry Lee Lewis, Jimmy Swaggart and Mickey Gilley.

The evening will begin with a reception at 6 p.m., followed by the main program at 7:00 p.m., featuring a Q&A with Dupré and Tolliver and a special live performance. The event is presented with support from Sun Records and Visit Mississippi. A limited number of tickets are available for $50 and will go on sale exclusively to members on Monday, Dec. 22. Tickets may be purchased at the Museum box office or online.

Dupré, a Louisiana-born singer named a Country Artist You Need to Know by Rolling Stone, is currently the lead vocalist on Randy Travis’ More Life Tour. Tolliver is a Nashville-based singer-songwriter and pianist who opened on tour for Jerry Lee Lewis from 2017 to 2019 and portrayed the rock-and-roll icon in Million Dollar Quartet in Las Vegas early in his career.

The program marks the opening of the Museum’s new exhibit spotlighting three legendary cousins from Ferriday, Louisiana, and Natchez, Mississippi: Jerry Lee Lewis, Jimmy Swaggart and Mickey Gilley. The exhibit explores Lewis’ groundbreaking influence on rock and roll, Swaggart’s impact on global religious broadcasting, and Gilley’s chart-topping country career and role in launching the urban cowboy era.

“We are thrilled to celebrate the opening of our new exhibit with an exciting program featuring talented rising stars James Dupré and Jacob Tolliver,” said Emily Havens, Executive Director of GRAMMY Museum® Mississippi. “With Dupré’s deep roots in Louisiana and Tolliver’s time on tour with the great Jerry Lee Lewis, it’s sure to be a memorable evening of music and conversation.”

The Killer, The Preacher and the Cowboy officially opens to the public on Thursday, Jan. 22, and will remain on display through 2026. GRAMMY Museum® Mississippi is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m., and is closed on Mondays.
