Nashville Celtic Rock Band Coming to the Alley

Nashville Celtic Rock Band Coming to the Alley

Nashville Celtic rock band Molly Ramone will come to West Tennessee on Thursday, May 17, when singer/songwriter Mark Harriman and Joe Khoury will perform at Arts in the Alley in downtown Henderson. Beginning at 6 p.m., the event will be hosted by the Henderson Arts Commission in the alley off Main Street beside Frix-Jennings Clinic.

Originally from Leiceister, England, Harriman came to America in 1995 when he signed to Gravelsauce Records. Since then he has established himself as an integral part of the Nashville music scene. Khoury plays lead guitar and mandolin and sings backing vocals. He is a prominent session player and music producer in Nashville.

Regularly featured at both the Opryland Hotel and on Music Row, Molly Ramone has a delightful way of encouraging audiences to join the excitement by clapping or singing along to both traditional Irish ballads and newer Celtic rock music.

What the Mega Millions jackpot can get you

What the Mega Millions jackpot can get you

What would you do if you won the historic Mega Millions lottery tonight? Well, we calculated a handful of things that $640 million can get you.

With those multi-millions you could buy 2,250 tons of Legos. Forget your dream project, you could build a dream house out of Legos.

iPads? You could buy more than a million iPads, not to mention that extra $10 for every gigabyte above a current $30 subscription is irrelevant to your financial eye.

In addition, you could buy every Apple product in the New York Grand Central Store at a given time. (Every square foot is estimated $4,709, the Grand Central Store is 23,000 square feet - that is a total of $108,307,000.)

For the last 35 years The Orpheum has had $650,000 worth of maintenance expenses each years, that means you could run the theater for roughly 980 years.
