The first annual Muletown Musicfest presented by Listerhill Credit Union will be taking place in downtown Columbia on the historic Public Square this coming October 3, 2015. The music lineup, curated by music supervisor Rick Clark (TV show Hell On Wheels, The Oxford American Magazine) and Kim Jameson (30A Songwriters Festival, RPM live music nights), features an exciting sampling of some of the region’s finest singer-songwriters, funk, blues, barbershop quartet, bluegrass, classical, country and children’s music talent.

Saturday, October 3 will begin at 10 a.m. with FREE children’s events, Maury County restaurant options, an “instrument petting zoo,” and FREE music, music, music. There will be no charge for entry into the downtown area or enjoying most of the musical venues.

Music is a perfect way to bring people together.”[/quote]
