The Thacker Mountain Radio Hour performs its show in Taylor, MS this week, Thursday, March 13 at 6 pm. The venue will be Wonderbird Spirits Distillery at 618 County Road 303 (aka Old Taylor Road) Taylor, MS 38673.

Admission is free and the public is invited. Early show (6-7 pm) – Plenty of free parking!

Doors will open at 5:30 for refreshments and a visit at the Wonderbird bar.

Performers for the Taylor show will include bestselling author, Sanjena Sathian (Goddess Complex), blues dynamos Heartbreak Hill and Memphis guitarist/songwriter Lina Beach.

Hosts of the show are Jim Dees and our house band, Paul Tate and the Yalobushwhackers.

Due to spring break, there will be no live broadcast of this show.

Sanjena Sathian’s novel, Goddess Complex, is a biting examination of millennial adulthood, self-care influencers, optimization cults, internet mommy gurus, egg freezing, and much more. (Kale orgies, anyone?)

In a glowing review last week, The New York Times wrote, “Haunting and hilarious, “Goddess Complex” is at once a satire, a Gothic tale, a novel of ideas, a character study. Like any individual life, the book bristles with possibilities.”

Full review here.

Square Books will be on hand with a table of Sanjena’s books for sale and signing.

Sathian is currently co-adapting her previous novel, the bestselling Gold Diggers, as a film for Mindy Kaling’s production company, Kaling International.

Lina Beach is a Colombian American singer-songwriter from Franklin, Tennessee, now based in Memphis.

After graduating from Rhodes College, Lina became an intern at Royal Studios (Al Green, Bobby “Blue” Bland) with producer, Lawrence “Boo” Mitchell. She was recently chosen to play guitar with the legendary Hi Rhythm Section and now tours the world with them.

Lina is currently at work on her debut solo album, Little Sanities, to be recorded at Royal.

North Carolina-native blues/rockers Heartbreak Hill (Nikki and Matt Hill) have honed their gritty blues/rock/punk style after years living in musical Mississippi River towns such as St. Louis, New Orleans, and, currently, Memphis, TN.

Their releases include Heavy Hearts Hard Fists and Feline Roots.
