CONTINUING THROUGHOUT THE YEAR:
The Last Honky Tonk Music Series: Since its humble beginnings, the series has kept its focus on the artist with its motto: Sustain The Artists, Sustain The Venues, Sustain The Communities.
A unique music series that started in 2014 has grown up to 40 different venues across the nation that focuses on the singer-songwriter craft from these various genres; Americana, rock, blues, and country. From intimate settings at clubs to festival type events as well as amphitheaters, it has been everything from a career springboard to a place where songwriter veterans can call “home.” There are also two radio shows that celebrate this series that are becoming a favorite spot on the dial for listeners: to tune in:
KQKI (95.3 FM – Morgan City, LA) on Sundays with Brigitte London – for The Honky Tonk Hometown Radio Show – 3 hours of great music!

Developed in memorial of country singer-songwriter Wayne Mills, 44, who was murdered back in 2013 in Nashville outside a bar in the “Lower Broad” tourist section of Music City. The series was to carry forward the ideals of an independent musician that he truly believed in. He was memorialized by a close friend, singer-songwriter Brent Cobb, in his song, “King Of Alabama” off of his 2018 release, Providence Canyon. The late musician never had any huge commercial success, but he had a great circle of friends like Blackberry Smoke, Blake Shelton and Jamey Johnson whom he had shared stages and shows before his untimely death.

Concert Of Light: Scattered throughout the year, special evenings, called Concert Of Light when the talented songwriters of The Series, come together on a larger stage to honor our country’s military veterans.

A July show is slated at the National Cathedral so stay tuned for more info on that.
