Fester Hagood's Mojo Confessional Songwriters Showcase Uncle Danny "THUNDERCLAP" Mcadams and Caroline Monroe Painting and a Few Songs by Marisa Leilani Mustard Potluck and Music starting at 6 pm Sunday, February 11, 2024

Fester Hagood organizes what he calls "Fester Hagood's Mojo Confessional Songwriters Showcase." It builds on Mark Wilmot's "Mojo's Sunday Afternoon Songwriters' Revival" which brought two singer/songwriters to No. 3 Railroad Street each month. We look forward to hearing both new and familiar voices and stories about their songs under Fester's direction. Please read about Fester on the bottom of this page and about both series of concerts on the Songwriters landing page. From Fester's Facebook Profile: "We are going to be throwin' down this Sunday at 6 at No 3 Railroad Street in Arnoldsville. Uncle Danny "THUNDERCLAP" McAdams and Caroline Monroe will be the featured artists at the Feb 11th Fester Hagood's Mojo Confessional Songwriter Showcase. Marisa Leilani Mustard will also be there doing some live art (available for purchase at the end of the show) and sharing some of her beautiful songs. BYOB, All Ages, Potluck Supper, $10 suggested donation. Indoor Show." Caroline Monroe has been to No. 3 Railroad Street as one of Fester's featured Songwriters once before. She was with Pickled Holler, and Woody Garrison and the Redstone Ramblers on July 10, 2022. Caroline Monroe is a native Atlantan who now lives in Monroe. Caroline fronted a rock group, "Umpteen," in Athens but she realized her heart was in country music and the high lonesome sound of the Appalachian South. She met Athens Outlaw Fester Hagood, a Southern rocker who had a similar passion for country. They played Athens' clubs as a duet from 2005 to 2007 (see image below) while Fester produced Caroline's first CD, "Ghost Town," backed by some of the top musicians in Athens. The songs range from humor ("See Rock City") to heartbreak ("Right Here In My Heart") to hell-raising ("Sunday Sinner"). She's branching out from hard-edged country into a more reflective alt-country style that suits her distinctive, haunting voice - she's been compared to Emmylou Harris, Iris Dement and Lucinda Williams. Mostly, people say Caroline sounds like a country Natalie Merchant. And her fans enjoy Caroline's relaxed and unpretentious stage presence. Caroline's websites include carolinemonroe.com, Facebook and revernation. Uncle Danny "THUNDERCLAP" Mcadams was also in one of Fester's earlier Songwriters Showcase, in Facebook Profile as guitar picker at Levi Lowrey. Marisa Leilani Mustard Marisa is a musician and graphic artist. She was featured with Jefferson Ross and Adam Poulin on October 8, 2023 in this Songwriters Showcase. She has also done live painting and singing in several of these events.

He hosted The Tuesday Night Confessional at The Nowhere Bar in Athens from 2013 onwards which was the inpsiration for Mark's Songwriters Revival.
