THACKER MOUNTAIN RADIO RETURNS TO CLINTON

The Arts Council of Clinton is proud to announce that the Thacker Mountain Radio Hour (TMR) will be returning to Clinton on June 17th.   This will be the second year in a row that Thacker has started their summer season in Clinton.

“We’re really excited about Thacker returning to Clinton.  It was well received last year with a large crowd and a great show”, said Arts Council of Clinton President, Ricky Nations.  

This year’s Clinton show will feature Clinton native and Blues Musician, Jarekus Singleton, Canton native and Folk singer, Caroline Herring and well known sports columnist and author, Rick Cleveland.  The show will be performed at the Clinton HS auditorium on June 17th at 6 p.m.

Thacker is an hour long show recorded live and broadcast on Mississippi Public Broadcasting at 7 p.m. each Saturday.  The show is generally recorded in Oxford, MS.  

“We are really fortunate to have Thacker back again.  They only have four or five shows per year outside of Oxford and it is a very entertaining and fun event”, said Nations.  

Tickets for the event are $15 and can be purchased online at www.artscouncilofclinton.org or at the door.

Proceeds from the event will go used for scholarship awards to students, teacher grants to local teachers, art exhibits and contests and additional education and entertainment events.
