NEWBERRY — The Newberry Opera House released their main 2019-20 season lineup in August, but the Opera House is adding more shows to the late winter and spring.

The Gibson Brothers are known for popular songs “In the Ground,” “Mockingbird,” “Brotherhood,” “They Call It Music,” “Red-Letter Day,” and many others.
