CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – The Friends of Dunbar Cave present a throwback to Dunbar’s past as a music and dance cave with Cooling at the Cave.
The event takes place at the entrance of the cave Saturday, July 25 from 3-5 p.m.
The Cumberland Winds Jazz Project will play at the cool cave entrance and dancing is encouraged. Shona Dennis will be the vocalist for the afternoon, singing songs like “September in the Rain,” I’ve Got the World on a String,” “Almost Like Being in Love,” and others. Robert Long will be featured on tenor sax in “Quiet Nights and Quiet Stars,” and Bo Clayton on trumpet, performing an arrangement of “What’s New.”
Free refreshments will be provided with a donation. T-shirts and memberships are available to purchase.
This event is open to the public.
Prior to the widespread use of air conditioning, locals would gather at Dunbar Cave for concerts and to enjoy the cool air blowing from the mouth of the cave.
For several years, the Friends of Dunbar Cave group has put on Cooling at the Cave to recreate this atmosphere.
