MERIDIAN, Miss. (AP) — The Jimmie Rodgers Foundation will sponsor a tribute to the country music singer/songwriter on Sept. 5 at the Temple Theatre in downtown Meridian.
The Meridian Star reports the celebration will mark what would be Rodgers' 166th birthday.
The concert, starting shortly after 6 p.m., will feature Randy Houser, a native Mississippian whose hits "How Country Feels" and "Runnin' Outta Moonlight" are topping the charts.
