MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — Main Street Murfreesboro’s Friday Night Live concert series will serve up a distinct True Blue vibe tonight, Sept. 20, with sponsor Middle Tennessee State University on hand as the Blue Raider community kicks off Homecoming weekend.

Bizz, lead singer of Everyday People says, “We are so excited to play on the square again.  It’s been a few years since we’ve been there and we’re looking forward to seeing all our friends Friday night. Looks like it’s going to be a beautiful night for some good music!” 

Main Street Murfreesboro has been hosting free community concerts in the historic downtown since 2005.  

“For 19 years Main Street has used the power of music to bring our community together and create a sense of place for everyone,” said Sarah Callender, executive director of the nonprofit.

The Friday Night Live summer series is held outdoors each month June through October featuring a local cover band performing on stage in front of the Rutherford County Historic Courthouse. 

The public square entrance is blocked for the evening’s concert and people bring chairs to sit in the streets and listen to music. Local restaurants are open around the square and there are also a variety of food trucks. 

Free parking is available around the downtown and attendees are encouraged to park in the City Hall Parking Garage off Vine Street, one block from the public square.

The remaining 2024 season line up is Oct. 25 featuring The Pilots.
