“This dynamic series will shine a spotlight on the diverse and emerging talent that calls Huntsville home,” he said. “It provides a stage for artists to display their talents and underscores the importance of collaboration to promote local artistry. Each night promises to be a celebration of musical innovation and local creativity.”

The series kicks off Thursday, Dec. 14, with Samir Fields-Spruill, Samuel Penn and The N.E.I.G.H.B.O.R.S. The Dec. 19 installment features Mulan Throneberry, C1ive and Ty Blackwell. The series concludes Dec. 28 with Poor Rover, Kam Jones and Smorgasbord.
