Clay Walker concert at FIM Capitol Theatre

Clay Walker is set to play Flint’s FIM Capitol Theatre on Friday, April 24, with the show listed for 8 p.m. (thefim.org) The Flint Institute of Music lists the concert as a stop on Walker’s “Doin’ What I Love Tour” at the Capitol Theatre, 140 East 2nd Street, with Colton Dawson billed as the opening act. (thefim.org) Tickets start at $71, or $52 for Genesee County residents, and the Flint Institute of Music says the posted total includes fees. (thefim.org) The date lands in a busy weekend for downtown Flint, where local event listings also place Walker’s show on Friday night at the restored Capitol Theatre. (flintbeat.com) The venue carries its own draw. The Flint Institute of Music says the Capitol Theatre first opened in 1928 and returned to use in 2017 after restoration. (thefim.org) That history helps explain why touring acts keep landing there: Explore Flint & Genesee describes the theater as part of Flint’s downtown entertainment district, with programming that ranges from concerts and comedy to film and dance. (exploreflintandgenesee.org) Walker arrives with a catalog the Flint Institute of Music and his official site both describe as more than 30 charted singles and 11 No. 1 hits. (thefim.org, claywalker.com) The Flint Institute of Music is promoting the show around Walker’s album *Texas to Tennessee*, released on Show Dog Nashville, and says the record was produced by Michael Knox and songwriter Jaron Boyer. (thefim.org) Walker’s career has also been shaped by his health. The Flint Institute of Music says he was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1996 and has since used his Band Against MS work and annual Pebble Beach charity event to raise awareness. (thefim.org) For concertgoers, the practical details are straightforward: Friday, April 24, at 8 p.m., in a downtown Flint theater that reopened less than a decade ago and now anchors a regular stream of touring shows.
