Senatobia, MS (04/01/2026) — Northwest Mississippi Community College's Foundation is proud that the headliner for the Northwest Soiree: A Garden Gala is southern singer-songwriter, Dave Barnes. The performance will be after the Soiree's social hour and awards ceremony. Concert-only tickets are also available for the April 18, 2026, performance.
