Clarksdale, Mississippi, blues singer Edna Nicole will be the featured musical act at the Summer Sunset Series in The Grove on Sunday, June 22 at 6 pm. Admission is free and the public is invited. Lawn chairs are encouraged. The Grove is located at 1848 University Ave.
The concert is a “Thacker Mountain Radio Hour Music Showcase” which highlights a recent guest on the long-running Oxford staple. While not a Thacker Mountain Radio Hour show, the Thacker team will have a table set up in the Grove on Sunday for t-shirts, caps, and membership sign-ups. Live Thacker shows resume Thursday, September 4 at The Powerhouse.
Edna Nicole is a singer, songwriter (and published author!) from Clarksdale who is also an Ole Miss graduate. Her recent single is “Delta Dirt.” Her book is The Journey, a collection of true stories of accomplishment by women in the North Mississippi region.
Edna can currently be heard on “Ready For Times to Get Better,” a new song by blues harmonica great, Charlie Musselwhite. The track appears on Musselwhite’s just-released album, Look Out Highway.
The singer is fresh off a well-received set in front of a jam-packed, international crowd at Red’s Juke Joint in Clarksdale. Her performance was part of the Clarksdale screening of the hit film, Sinners, and earned her special mention from Oxford American.
A mother of three, Edna is also the owner of Suga Mama’s Sweets in Oxford.
The Summer Sunset Series is a community event made possible through a collaboration of Visit Oxford, Yoknapatawpha Arts Council, the Center for the Study of Southern Culture, the Gertrude C. Ford Center for Performing Arts, the University of Mississippi Museum, and Thacker Mountain Radio Hour.
The 2025 Summer Sunset Series kicked off on the first Sunday in June and will conclude on Sunday, June 29 at 6 pm with the band, Kingdomology. More information on the concert series: https://www.oxfordarts.com/ .
