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.
Barnes has been a singer-songwriter since his adolescent years in Mississippi, where he grew an attachment to hip-hop, soul, blues, and R&B. After years of being a fan of music while attending Middle Tennessee State University, he began writing songs for other artists.
