Thacker Mountain Radio is on the road!
Thacker Mountain Radio is on the road! Join us this Saturday night, July 26, at the Neshoba County Fair, located ten miles outside of Philadelphia, Miss. Our show will begin at 7:30 PM under the big Pavilion on the fairgrounds’ historic Founder’s Square. The Neshoba performance will run approximately 90 minutes and present a raft of Mississippi writers and musicians.
Steve Stubbs, author of The History of the Neshoba County Fair, will appear along with Clarion Ledger political columnist Sid Salter (Coming of Age in Mississippi) who will recount some of the famous political speeches – from Bilbo to Barnett - that have been delivered at the site. Author Tom Franklin (Smonk, Poachers, Hell at the Breech) will read from his highly acclaimed work. Our musical guests will include a special appearance by the Charlie Mars Band, bluesman Kenny Brown, and the recently re-formed Blue Mountain, who will play an extra set after the radio broadcast concludes. Our inestimable house band, the Yalobushwhackers, will open the show.
Saturday’s program will not be broadcast live but will be recorded for replay later this fall on Mississippi Public Broadcasting.
For those who can’t travel to Philadelphia, you can still get your Thacker fix. Tune in this Saturday to Mississippi Public Broadcasting (90.3 in Oxford) at 7PM for Thacker Mountain Radio’s Summer Sessions. This week you’ll hear a classic show from Fall 2002 featuring steel guitar wizard Robert Randolph. Our author will be Mississippi writer Joe Edd Morris (Land Where My Father Died). Thacker Mountain Radio’s Summer Sessions can be heard every Saturday night at 7PM for the rest of the summer immediately following A Prairie Home Companion.
