The new Songwriter Performance Series is an extension of that beloved music heritage. However, instead of the lively honky-tonk atmosphere we are accustomed to in the funky little shack, Tim Jackson’s Songwriters Performance Series LIVE @ Stinky’s Bait Shack provides music-lovers of all ages with a more intimate experience.
