HSThe 5th Annual Groundhog Day Night of Music is set to take place at 6 p.m. at The Listening Room Café’s new location on Saturday (Feb. 2) with featured artists Jimmy Hall, Chris Cline, Sharif Iman, Dan Adams and Matt Feole.
A suggested $10 per person donation will be collected at the door to benefit Middle Tennessee nonprofit Alive Hospice on behalf of Joe Shrum, whose birthday was Feb. 2.
“We are just so thankful to be able to give back to Alive Hospice for all the wonderful service we received, and that so many others receive on a daily basis,” said Shrum’s daughter Ginger Shrum McClendon. “What better way is there to celebrate Daddy’s memory than by giving back to Alive Hospice?”
The Listening Room Café moved to its new location at 217 Second Ave. S. in January. For more information, visit listeningroomcafe.com.
