How do I get schedule information on specific shows?
We make it easy. The calendar and menu of events are categorized by genre and region, right here on our site.
-
Why do entertainers perform for the military?
Performers need to perform. It's in their DNA. Plus, going on tour with Armed Forces Entertainment is an opportunity for artists to give back and honor the sacrifices deployed servicemembers and their families make on behalf of our country. For up-and-coming artists, touring with AFE is a great way to build an audience. For established artists, it's an up-close-and-personal way to say thanks to fans.
-
How much do tickets cost?
It's FREE to attend every Armed Forces Entertainment show. Every single show, every single time.
-
Why are there occasional schedule changes?
Sometimes emergencies and personal challenges pop up for scheduled artists. Add the uncertainty of world politics, and tour agendas inevitably shift. We rush the updates to the effected venue and make changes to the online show schedule as quickly as possible. It doesn't happen often, but it does happen, and we're sorry for the inconvenience.

Can I invite non-military people to AFE events?
It depends on the rules of your installation. In general, yes, non-military guests are allowed at AFE shows. But military personnel are our priority.
Nashville-based singer/songwriter Kaitlin Walker knew she wanted to perform since she was just 3 years old, even learning to read on her karaoke machine at an early age. With small beginnings in the town of Bloomington, Indiana, Kaitlin’s family moved to Florida during her elementary years, where her love for music continued to grow. It was at 17 years old when her big dreams of moving to Nashville and starting her career as a country music artist became a reality.
Walker’s writing has the ability to connect with listeners from all walks of life. From the new feel-good lakeside tune “So Am I” to deep cuts like “Tornado” and “Letter From Heaven,” Walker’s bluesy, soulful voice conveys songs with the kind of emotion that only comes from experience. Walker’s genre is modern outlaw country. She’s authentically soulful in her sound but tenderly country through and through. She’s completely approachable and intriguing.
Today, you can find Walker collaborating with other songwriters and musicians, recording and releasing new songs. Check out Walker’s newest release, “Tornado,” at www.kaitlinwalkermusic.com. When she isn’t working in the studio, you might catch her performing on some of Broadway’s main stages.
Tyson Hanes is a country music singer/songwriter. He was born and raised in the city of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Canada. He spent his younger years playing sports, riding BMX bikes, and racing motocross. Along with his passion for that adrenaline rush from racing, he also developed a passion for music. He was raised listening to music playing in the background, almost no matter what he was doing. He began singing in his guitar class in high school, and with some encouragement from teachers, he began to take it more seriously and formed a band called Asylum Country. It became known for its upbeat style and wildly entertaining performances. The band had success throughout the region; however, Hanes knew that if he really wanted to put his talent to the test, he would have to move to Nashville, Tennessee.
At the age of 23, he packed up on his motorcycle and headed to Nashville to make a new name for himself in Music City. He was hired to play full-time shows at the world-famous Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge and used his love for adrenaline as a tool in his shows as he began climbing the ladder of performers in Nashville.
From sing-alongs to crowd surfing and climbing and singing on top of speakers and beer trucks to smashing guitars on stage, nothing is off the table when it comes to entertaining his audience to ensure they have an amazing time!
Now, years later, he plays to packed shows with roaring crowds. As he continues his music career, he looks forward to releasing new music and performing for all of his current and future fans!
