Old Town Cape’s free concert series Tunes at Twilight kicks off their fall season on Friday, August 5.

First up is americana/country singer-songwriter Cheley Tackett. She is one of Nashville’s most celebrated emerging artists who has been described as “one of the most powerful, soulful singers in the business.” Acclaimed as much for her songwriting as for her artistry, Cheley has won Merlefest's Chris Austin Songwriting contest, the prestigious Kerrville Folk Festival's New Folk competition, Just Plain Folks' Song of the Year, Country Album of the Year, & Country Song of the Year, as well as being a finalist in the Independent Acoustic Music Awards' Country Song & Female Vocal Performance categories, and a semi-finalist in the International Songwriting Competition's Rock category.

Tunes at Twilight will take place at 6:30 on Friday evening, August 5 at Ivers Square in downtown Cape Girardeau. Be sure to bring your blanket or lawn chair for this first concert of the fall series.
