Summer music series begins with gospel concert
The Delta Heritage Center’s summer concert series “Concert on the Porch” begins with a night of gospel music Saturday, June 20. The Gospel Stars and His Voice return to perform from the porch of the Sleepy John Estes home beginning at 7 p.m.
The Gospel Stars feature Brownsville musicians who have been performing across the region since the 1990s. Led by M. C. Cliff, these musicians are known for their versions of the old gospel favorites.
His Voice, a group based in Ripley, Tenn., is made up of Mitch Platz, Larry Kelly and Candace Manness. This trio has been blessing crowds with their harmony and Southern gospel renditions for many years.
Bleacher seating is available or bring lawn chairs for the outdoor concert. Concessions will be on site. You are also welcome to bring a picnic or visit the surrounding restaurants.
Concerts are presented free to the public once a month through September, at the Delta Heritage Center in Brownsville, Tenn. For a complete schedule of upcoming concerts, visit www.westtnheritage.com.
