Downtown Murphy NC is excited to announce Murphy Mountain Music: Summer Concert Series. Sponsored by Cherokee County Tourism Development Authority. Who better to kick off the summer of fun than Braden Rumfelt for his hometown concert!

After making all of us proud on American Idol and performing on one of the biggest stages in the country, Braden Rumfelt will return to Murphy for a free hometown concert at Konehete Veterans Park on Thursday, May 21 at 7:30 p.m.

Braden will perform with his full band for what promises to be a great night of music and community celebration. Bring a lawn chair or blanket and come out to support one of our own as he takes the stage back home in Murphy.
