FLORENCE-Florence/Lauderdale Tourism will once again provide musical entertainment before its popular Swampette music tour on Saturday, August 1. Starting at 11 a.m., Tim Cannon will perform in the Gallery at the Florence/Lauderdale Visitor Center in McFarland Park. The “mini-concert” is free and open to the public.
Influenced by everyone from rockers Bryan Adams, Bon Jovi and Daughtry to country artists Rascal Flatts and Shenandoah, Cannon is carrying on the tradition of the soulful hit music recorded in Muscle Shoals. “Everyone from The Rolling Stones to Bob Seger to Lynyrd Skynyrd has recorded here in our little town,” says Cannon. “And I’m just proud to be a part of the legacy of Muscle Shoals.”

The August 1 version of the Swampette tour of area music venues will follow Cannon’s performance, from noon to 4 p.m. The popular tour offers stops at FAME Studios, 3614 Jackson Highway and the Alabama Music Hall of Fame. Led by Judy Hood, wife of the Swampers’ bass player David Hood, the tour travels to each venue aboard the “Trolley of Tunes.” Tour cost is $35 per person.
Upcoming tours are planned for September 5, October 3 and November 14. ** Please note that the November tour has been changed. ** For reservations for Swampette tours, contact the Florence/Lauderdale Tourism Office at 256-740-4141
