Uptown Live, the concert series from the balcony of Shacklett’s Photography on the Murfreesboro Public Square featuring independent Middle Tennessee artists, continues to grow.

This month, music fans can hear a free concert each week, with music ranging from Irish fiddle tunes to blues guitar to tropical steel drum sounds.

“It’s an exciting lineup,” said series promoter Thom Christy. “We’ll have some great music to offer from our balcony over here.”
