Welcome to HTMA!

As a non-profit organization, our purpose is to preserve and perpetuate the traditional music of a variety of genres, instruments, and styles. This includes what is commonly referred to as folk and old-time music, but also more contemporary music that will become the traditional music of the future. We strive to provide wholesome and informative family entertainment at every event.

Coming Friday, June 5th, a Special Event show featuring Red Clay Jazz Society will give us another opportunity to enjoy the exciting 1930s-sound jazz and swing of Chip Gulbro and his band. Chip describes a love of Benny Goodman & Charlie Christian, Lionel Hampton, and others. Tickets are available on our calendar - $15 for HTMA members and $20 for all non-members.

On Wednesday, June 10th, past President Mike Ball hosts his ever-popular Behind the Music series, with guest Keyton Fike. Keyton is a local musician who is known for his emotionally driven rock; his songs offer a blend of honesty and vulnerability with lyrics about relationships and identity. Keyton is well-known to Huntsville audiences and has opened for many local artists, including a recent appearance at Huntsville's PorchFest. This is a FREE show, but donations are always welcome! See the Event Calendar for more details.

And in what promises to be a well-attended show, our June Coffeehouse Concert Series showcases the Fourth Annual Acoustic Night of Blues in the Round, featuring Jess Goggans and Mike Roberts, with our friend Kirk Jones opening the show. The first three Annual Acoustic Night of Blues in the Round shows featured "Microwave Dave" Gallaher, who we sadly lost this year, and this year's show will offer an evening of blues, reminiscences, and tribute to Dave. Jess, Mike, and Kirk are all very familiar to Huntsville-area audiences, and this show won't disappoint. Please don't wait to get your tickets, which are - as usual - $15 for HTMA members and $20 for non-members. Coffeehouse Season Ticket holders should plan to arrive by 6:00 in order to be seated; we don't want anyone left out!

We encourage buying your tickets in advance; a few recent shows have been very well attended and we don't want anyone to miss out on a great evening with some of the best acoustic musicians in the area. You won't regret making these shows - and the others on the Calendar - part of your musical planning for the upcoming months.

EASY TO GET LOST?? We have help!

Recently we've had a few people confide that they have trouble finding our studio #1038 at Lowe Mill.

The best way to reach the studio is by Door #4. There are other ways, but Door #4 is the shortest walk and has an accessible entrance. Once you enter the main (north) Lowe Mill parking lot, park as close as you can to Door #4. Enter the door, then turn right at the second hallway.The HTMA studio is just a little way down that hallway.

Hope this helps!
