Mama & The Ruckus | Sundays on the River Series

Ruckus by the River! Don't miss this family-friendly Rhythm & Blues concert led by powerhouse blues vocalist Melissa McKinney (aka Mama) and her band The Ruckus. June 30 at 4 PM by the French Broad River in Olivette $25 - Kids are free! MAMA & THE RUCKUS is led by Melissa McKinney, who writes songs about the trauma and pain that every person inevitably experiences in their lives. She sings these songs as a cry for hope and inspiration to others and you hear that in every single note that she sings. This intergenerational Roots project features original music that they hope will ignite healing, spread joy, and shine up your soul. Melissa recently advanced to the finals of the International Blues Competition that took place in Memphis, TN, and performed at the historic Orpheum Theater. BYOB, BYOC (chairs)
