The Merchants and Friends of Etowah have been presenting Matt Cordell in concert at the Gem Theater since 2002; Maxine Jones has coordinated these shows for 18 years and this November show will be the final one she will coordinate for the Merchants and Friends group. She will be retiring, however, another organization have stepped up and is excited about booking Matt and being his host. They will be introduced at the November show.
Ms. Jones said, “I’ve enjoyed volunteering for many years and Matt’s shows have been the ones I’ve enjoyed the most. Working with Matt, his wife, Tasha, daughter and husband Madison and Scott, his friends and helpers, Eddie and Janell, the band and especially getting to know Matt’s parents, Ken and Priscilla. They have become like family and I’ll miss assisting them, however, I plan to enjoy sitting back, relaxing and enjoying the upcoming shows.”
