FLORENCE – The final stages of preparation are underway for the 7th Annual Sam Phillips Music Celebration. The National Weather Service predicts a cool but dry evening in The Shoals… Just right for spending an evening out listening to some of the best musical acts ever.
Those who haven’t gotten their tickets can purchase them at On The Rocks on Court Street, or they can be gotten at the gate, which opens at 5 o’clock.
Music starts at 6:00 pm with Second Creek. They’re a rising star on the Shoals Music Scene. Then it’s The Atlanta Rhythm Section, remember “Spooky”? That’s the band. Then, it’s Muscle Shoals Music’s own favorite son, Mac MacAnally, winner of CMA’s Musician of The Year Award – for 4 years running, and long time member of Jimmy Buffett’s, Coral Reefer Band. Following Mac is the show headliner, Wet Willy with founder Jimmy Hall, “Keep On Smilin'”.
It is guaranteed to be a great evening of fun. This is one show you will not want to miss. See you at 5:00!
