The Thacker Mountain Radio Show

A weekly live-broadcast, which takes place in Oxford's Off-Square Books. Part Austin City Limits, part Prairie Home Companion, this eclectic show is the perfect representation of the down-home-hip character of Oxford. Each week the radio show features the Thacker Mountain house band and other well-recognized authors reading from and signing their latest work. Attracts a crowd of visitors and locals. Great pre-dinner or pre-happy hour entertainment.
