Thacker Mountain Radio, the acclaimed live radio show based in Oxford, will return for its third annual Delta Edition broadcast at 3 p.m., Saturday, March 5, from Studio A at the Delta Music Institute (DMI) on the campus of Delta State University.<\/p>\n
For over ten years, Thacker Mountain Radio has produced a live, unrehearsed broadcast that features author readings and a wide array of musical performances. The free show is normally recorded and broadcast weekly from Off Square Books in Oxford, but will relocate for this special show in DMI Studio A as part of the institute’s spring fundraiser for student scholarships.<\/p>\n
This year’s featured literary guest is Leland native Culpepper Webb, author of the acclaimed work “Lifted From The Waters.” Musical guests are brothers Bryan “Beaches of Cheyenne” Kennedy and Gordon “Change The World” Kennedy. Both Kennedy brothers, sons of music legend Jerry Kennedy, have won multiple Grammy awards for their songwriting and producing.<\/p>\n
Thacker Mountain’s house band, the Yalobushwhackers, features the Delta’s own Duff Dorrough. Joining the band for this special Thacker edition will be former Tangents keyboard player and Delta native Jim “Fish” Michie. They will be backing the show’s musical guests as well as playing featured performances of their own.<\/p>\n
Thacker Mountain is hosted by Jim Dees and is broadcast live on Rebel Radio 92.1 FM and rebroadcast statewide on Mississippi Public Broadcasting at 7 p.m., on Saturdays.<\/p>\n
The Delta Music Institute began with a generous donation by Fred Carl of the Viking Range Corporation. The focus of the DMI is to provide students with a broad and thorough education in the technological, business, and creative areas of the music industry. <\/p>\n
The public is encouraged to come be a part of this entertaining broadcast to support the Delta Music Institute. For more information on the Thacker in the Delta event, please call (662) 846-4579 or visit dmi.deltastate.edu. <\/p>\n
