Music City Swing, a 25 member big band orchestra returns to The Strand Theatre for a concert event to benefit Lewis County Library this Saturday, February 10 at 7pm. The Hohenwald Honey Dance and Silent Auction hosted by Friends of the Library promises to be a wonderful evening of lively music, sweet treats, and great deals on donated items from the auction table. Music City Swing, directed by band leader Karl Wingruber, first performed at The Strand in 2007 and then again in 2011 entertaining the audience with big band style music from the World War II era.

"Although an official re-opening event for The Strand is coming soon, we are excited to bring these talented musicians to the stage for our community," says Friends of the Library president Kelly Medford. "We are so grateful to the many, many people that have volunteered hours of time to get the theater prepared for this performance." The dance floor will be set out for anyone that wants to "cut a rug" to the music, and ample seating will be provided as well.

Music City Swing, based in Nashville, takes the listeners back to the 1940's era with an entertaining show full of songs like "Chattanooga Choo Choo," "Moonlight Serenade," "Sing, Sing, Sing!" and more. Their performance this Saturday is generously sponsored by Highland Corporation Charitable Foundation. For more information about this event call Lewis County Public Library at 796-5365.
