 Our supper + song parties feature nationally-known artists playing intimate outdoor shows. Free and open to the public, they are held on the third Wednesday of every month, from April through October. Next week, on Thursday, June 7, we’re breaking from convention and throwing a special “Manchester send-off” party in honor of all the great music happening just down I-24. The fun lasts from 5-9 pm and features William Tyler, Kopecky Family Band and other acts to be announced later this week. Also on hand: Gratis eats from Holland House, caffeine courtesy of Barista Parlor, and cold brews from our friends at Yazoo Brewing Company. Mark your calendars – and watch this space for more details!
