MLGW has set up a music stage on Beale in front of their headquarters, near the Elvis statue. The musicians playing there are accepting tips, and all tips go to Plus-1, the program that provides assistance paying the power bills of those in financial hardship. Zach Randolph gave $5000 to Plus-1 earlier this year; don’t you want to be like Zach? The stage is free and you don’t need a Music Fest ticket to enjoy it. It’s between Main and Second.
A particularly good time to check out the stage would be between 3:30 and 5 today, when my friends Pam and Terry will be playing.
