The Lafayette Hotel will host a Songwriter’s Series event Friday, April 18th, at 8:00 p.m., in the Gun Room to help support Marietta Main Street’s 2nd Annual #MyMarietta Music Festival in July. The benefit show will feature Bob Chase, Jake Dunn, Moon King, Sherm Koons, and Moon Mullen. According to Marietta Main Street’s Executive Director, Jen Tinkler, the #MyMarietta Music Festival “offers an opportunity for the community to come together and enjoy a variety of local bands and musicians. This event is our way of giving back, providing free entertainment that is ideal for families.”

“We have a great line-up and a great time at our Songwriter Series events,” said Moon Mullen, who helps to coordinate the Series, “with twenty (or maybe a few more) original tunes sung by the writers and each one has its own backstory too. That’s a good night of music for sure.” According to Mullen.

The #MyMarietta Music Festival will be held on Saturday, July 19th, 2025, from noon to 11 p.m.. Nate Shahan, Marietta Main Street Board member and organizer says, “This free, family-friendly event will showcase some of the best, local, and regional bands and musicians on multiple stages in the heart of historic downtown Marietta. Your $10 donation at the Songwriter Series event will support the #MyMarietta Music Festival.”
