A night of big hair and neon nostalgia all for a meaningful cause is set to take over Hop Springs Beer Park on Saturday, May 23, as the popular Rockin’ Against Alzheimer’s show returns for another year.

The event raises funds for Alzheimer’s Tennessee, a nonprofit dedicated to providing support, education and resources for individuals and families affected by Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. Through programs like caregiver assistance, community education and support groups, the organization works year-round to meet a growing need across the state.

Headlining the evening is Mixtape – ’80s Tribute Band, a high-energy act known for recreating the biggest hits of the early MTV era—from arena rock anthems to pop classics to new wave—with a full-stage production that captures the fun and flair of the 1980s. Expect plenty of singalongs, throwback vibes and, for those inclined, a few members of the crowd dressed in full 1980s wild regalia.

Expect throwback anthems along the lines of “Livin’ on a Prayer,” “Don’t Stop Believin’,” “Pour Some Sugar on Me,” “Sweet Child O’ Mine” and “Jessie’s Girl,” and other energetic hits from Journey, Bon Jovi, Prince, REO Speedwagon, Poison and Van Halen.

The show is part of a packed calendar at Hop Springs, a sprawling indoor and outdoor venue that has become one of Murfreesboro’s go-to spots for festivals, concerts and fundraisers.

A special “Purple Rain” cocktail will be available at the May 23 show.

Rockin’ Against Alzheimer’s is more than just a concert—it’s a chance to come together, enjoy a night out, and support a cause that touches thousands of families across Tennessee.

Alzheimer’s Tennessee provides various services and resources to those living with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias and their family members, including:

• A 24-hour helpline – 1-800-ALZ-GATE

• Conferences, workshops and webinars for caregivers

• Research and Disease Management Symposium for healthcare professionals

• First responder training to help them better support and serve individuals living with dementia

• Resource referrals to help families identify community resources to assist with living at home, respite care, long-term care and hospice care

• Family consultations and care-planning

• Support groups in communities across Tennessee to provide support and encouragement

• Political advocacy

• Silver Alert kits, free kits that help families be prepared in the event their loved one wanders

“Thanks to our supporters, all of these service are free of charge to families and the community,” said Cheryl Blanchard, regional director of Alzheimer’s Tennessee.

Blanchard emphasizes that all proceeds raised at the Rockin’ Against Alzheimer’s night stay right here in Middle Tennessee.

“With every ticket purchased, attendees are providing funds to serve their neighbors, family and friends in Rutherford County and the surrounding area,” she said.

Alzheimer’s Tennessee also hosts ongoing Memory Cafés, support groups for individuals diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment and those who are in the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease. Learn more at alztennessee.org/supportgroups.
