Mixtape, the popular local band celebrating the music and style of the 1980s, will play a benefit at Hop Springs on Saturday, May 20, in support of Alzheimer’s Tennessee.
Alzheimer’s Tennessee invites all ages to join the party as the group raises money and awareness to support those battling Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias.
The May 20 show kicks off at 7 p.m. and the evening will feature a special Purple Rain signature cocktail, food trucks and a full night of ’80s music.

Alzheimer’s Tennessee serves those facing Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias, promotes brain health through education, champions global research, prevention and treatment efforts, provides family support and financial assistance, offers community and professional education, and advocates for the needs and rights of those with Alzheimer’s disease.
It operates a 24-hour helpline, 1-800-ALZ-4283, for people with memory loss, caregivers, family members, healthcare professionals and the public to call for assistance.
Alzheimer’s Tennessee also runs an adult day care in Knox County.
The group, once part of the National Alzheimer’s Association, returned to its original independent status under the name Alzheimer’s Tennessee in 2011 to ensure that funds raised in Tennessee go to support local families within the state. Alzheimer’s Tennessee now operates offices in Knoxville, Cookeville, Johnson City, Franklin, Tullahoma and Jackson.
