CLARKSVILLE, Tenn.

Join the fun here: www.Facebook.com/TaraThompsonMusic. “This idea spiraled from all of the fun we’ve had during Maytag Mondays,” shared Tara. “My whole life has been full of wacky adventures – many that make it into my songs – so I love connecting with my fans in unique ways too. I am thrilled White Castle is partnering with us … especially since there are sure to be some good ol’ fashioned sliders in the mix!” WHITE CASTLE® WEDNESDAY TOUR CLARKSVILLE STOP: 
Event begins at 6 p.m. March 01 – Clarksville, TN (3060 Wilma Rudolph Blvd.) Since releasing her Someone To Take Your Place EP last fall, Tara has candidly presented her music to audiences nationwide as part of CMT’s 2016 Next Women of Country Tour with headliner Jennifer Nettles in addition to fairs and festivals.
