Musicians Remember Late, Legendary Bard

The Secret Commonwealth founders, Rob Campbell, Jack Daves and Troy Guinn

The Secret Commonwealth will present a special evening in memory of founding member Jack Hunter Daves at the Boro Bar & Grill beginning at 8 p.m. Saturday, July 14.

The show, along with a Sunday, July 15, event at Logues’ Black Raven Emporium in East Nashville, coincides with what would have been Daves’ 50th birthday.

Current TSC member Don Clark said Daves touched many lives in the Murfreesboro music scene and left many friends and fans behind when he passed in 2004.

“He could talk to you about any subject and never talk down to you,” Clark said. “He was a huge guy; it took 10 of us pallbearers to carry him, but I think his heart weighed most of all.”

The Exotic Ones, along with other special guests, will join TSC in remembering “the music of Murfreesboro’s late, legendary bard.”
