Sarah’s Love List: Local Music at Hotel Metropolitan

The Upper Town Heritage Foundation will pay tribute to local musicians this Saturday at 5p.m. at Hotel Metropolitan, located at 724 Oscar Cross Ave. Admission is free, although donations are welcome. Musicians include Little Stevie Wonder, the Supremes, Thomas Dorsey, Ma Rainey and many others. Stop by for a bbq sandwich and the hotel's Special Tea. For more information, call Betty Dobson, 270.443.7918.

The renovated and restored segregation era hotel-turned-museum housed musicians like Louis Armstrong, Cab Calloway, Duke Ellington and Ella Fitzgerald. If those walls could talk! Loves it!
