SUMMARY:Irondale Celebrates 139 Years with FREE Music Fest Featuring The Tony Tatum Experience
DESCRIPTION:IRONDALE\, AL — The City of Irondale is getting ready to celebrate its 139th birthday in a big way with an afternoon of live music\, food and community at Irondale Music Fest 2026\, presented by Mayor James D. Stewart Jr. \nThe FREE celebration takes place Saturday\, September 26\, at Beacon Park\, 5309 Beacon Drive in Irondale. Gates open at 3 p.m.\, with the show beginning at 4 p.m. The event runs until 7 p.m. and admission is free. \nThe Tony Tatum Experience Headlines a Strong Lineup\nHeadlining this year’s celebration is The Tony Tatum Experience\, and this won’t be a scaled-down performance. Tatum is bringing his full 12-piece band to Beacon Park for the celebration. \nThose who attended I Love Irondale Day earlier this summer may remember Tatum bringing plenty of energy to the stage. For Music Fest\, he’s returning with an even bigger show. \nBut the music doesn’t stop there. \n \nThe festival lineup also includes violinist Dominique Hammons\, whose high-energy performances bring the violin into the worlds of R&B\, jazz\, soul and contemporary music. \nAdding some HBCU flavor to the celebration will be the Alabama A&M University Choir\, bringing the rich vocal tradition of one of Alabama’s historic HBCUs to the Irondale stage. \nBirmingham-area flutist Sherry Reeves will also perform\, adding another dimension to an afternoon designed to showcase a variety of musical styles and sounds. \nAnd keeping the music moving throughout the celebration will be DJ Maverick (Willie Hudgins)\, another familiar face at Irondale community events. \nIt’s a lineup that gives you a little bit of everything—live band energy\, strings\, vocals\, jazz influences and a DJ keeping the party going. \nBring Your Lawn Chairs — and Your Appetite\nIrondale Music Fest is designed to be more than just a concert. It’s a community birthday party\, so bring your lawn chairs\, find a comfortable spot and plan to spend the afternoon. \nThere will also be plenty to eat. Food vendors announced for the festival include Eugene’s Hot Chicken\, AJ’s Lemonade\, Dream Flavors\, GeGe’s Tasty Cakes\, Good Ole DAWGS\, My Planet Punches\, Signature Grille and The DIRTY RED. \nParking will be available at “The Hill” at Grants Mill Station\, with shuttle service provided to Beacon Park. Small coolers and clear bags are allowed; however\, outside food is not permitted. \nUrbanham Has Been Watching What’s Happening in Irondale\nIf you’ve been following Urbanham\, you already know that we’ve been keeping an eye on Irondale. \nEarlier this year\, we published “We REALLY Like What’s Going On In Irondale” after spending some time in the city and getting a closer look at its community events and economic-development vision. \nWhat caught our attention wasn’t simply one project or one event. It was the combination of community engagement\, quality-of-life initiatives and major economic development happening at the same time. \nAnd Irondale hasn’t slowed down. \nEarlier this month\, the city hosted Cruise-In Cinema\, combining a car show with an outdoor showing of Furious 7. The September 11 event featured free admission\, free popcorn\, food and drink vendors and a Best in Show competition. \nEvents like Cruise-In Cinema and Music Fest are giving residents something to do while also giving people from throughout the Birmingham metro another reason to come into Irondale. \n“One City. One Billion.”\nAll of this is happening alongside Mayor Stewart’s ambitious vision for Irondale’s future. \nThe city’s “One City. One Billion.” initiative is centered around attracting $1 billion in investment by 2033\, with economic development\, residential growth and quality-of-life improvements helping drive that strategy. \nThat’s a big number—but some equally big projects are beginning to make that vision feel much more tangible. \nOne of the most talked-about developments is the arrival of Costco\, a project expected to significantly expand Irondale’s retail footprint while attracting shoppers from throughout the Birmingham metro and beyond. \nAnd now there’s another major development to watch. \n$30 Million Golf House Alabama Coming to Irondale\nThe Alabama Golf Foundation recently purchased approximately 80 acres next to Pine Tree Golf & Country Club for the development of Golf House Alabama\, a statewide golf destination that will bring several of Alabama’s golf organizations together in one location and become home to the new Alabama Golf Hall of Fame. \nThe foundation is raising funds toward a $30 million goal for the first phase\, with construction expected to begin in November 2026 and the facility targeted to open in 2028. Combined with the neighboring Pine Tree Golf & Country Club property\, the investment encompasses approximately 363 acres. \nAnd this isn’t simply office space. \nPlans include a 30-bay hitting area with TrackMan technology\, championship-caliber par-3 course\, short-game practice area\, outdoor event lawn\, instructional areas and an Agronomy and Careers Center affiliated with Auburn University. \nMayor Stewart has connected the Golf House project directly to Irondale’s larger vision of becoming a destination city rather than simply a community people pass through. \nThat’s an important distinction. \nRetail brings people into a city. Recreation brings people into a city. Entertainment brings people into a city. Community events bring people into a city. \nPut them together\, and you begin creating a destination. \n \nCome for the Music — Keep Watching Irondale\nThat’s what makes Irondale Music Fest 2026 interesting beyond what happens on the stage. \nIrondale is celebrating 139 years of history while simultaneously making some pretty ambitious plans for its future. \nFrom community events like Cruise-In Cinema and Music Fest to major projects involving Costco and Golf House Alabama\, Irondale is giving residents—and the rest of the Birmingham metro—more reasons to pay attention. \nBut on Saturday\, September 26\, economic development can take a back seat for a few hours. \nBring your lawn chair\, grab something good to eat and enjoy The Tony Tatum Experience\, Dominique Hammons\, the Alabama A&M University Choir\, Sherry Reeves and DJ Maverick as Irondale celebrates its 139th birthday. \nIRONDALE MUSIC FEST 2026Saturday\, September 26\, 20263 p.m.–7 p.m. | Gates Open at 3 p.m. | Show Starts at 4 p.m.Beacon Park | 5309 Beacon Drive | Irondale\, AL 35210Admission: FREE \nUrbanham.com will continue watching what’s happening in Irondale as the city works toward its vision for 2033.

SUMMARY:8Ball & MJG and Bun B Join The Renaissance Orchestra for Black-Tie Birmingham Concert
DESCRIPTION:BIRMINGHAM\, AL — Southern hip-hop is getting the orchestral treatment when legendary rap duo 8Ball & MJG and UGK’s Bun B join The Renaissance Orchestra for a special black-tie concert at the BJCC Concert Hall on Friday\, November 6\, 2026. \nShowtime is 8 p.m.\, and the BJCC officially describes the evening as a Black-Tie Event. \nSouthern Hip-Hop Meets the Orchestra\nFor longtime Southern hip-hop fans\, this is definitely not your typical concert. \nMemphis legends 8Ball & MJG helped establish the sound of Southern rap long before the South became the dominant force it is today. Their catalog includes fan favorites such as “Space Age Pimpin’” and “You Don’t Want Drama\,” while their 2004 album Living Legends further cemented their place in Southern hip-hop history. \nJoining them will be Houston legend Bun B\, one-half of the influential duo UGK (Underground Kingz). \nWhat makes this show particularly interesting is The Renaissance Orchestra\, which brings live orchestral instrumentation into the hip-hop experience. Birmingham audiences will get an opportunity to see the orchestra on its own at the Lyric Theatre on September 25 before it returns in November to provide the musical backdrop for 8Ball & MJG and Bun B. Ticketmaster confirms all three acts on the November 6 lineup. \nBreak Out the Black Tie\nAnd yes—dress for this one! \nRather than a traditional hip-hop concert atmosphere\, the November 6 performance is officially being presented as a Black-Tie Event\, creating an opportunity to dress up and experience some classic Southern hip-hop in an entirely different setting. \nIt’s hip-hop\, live instrumentation and grown-folks date-night energy all in one evening. \nEVENT DETAILS\nWhat: 8Ball & MJG and Bun B featuring The Renaissance OrchestraWhen: Friday\, November 6\, 2026Showtime: 8:00 p.m.Where: BJCC Concert HallAddress: 2100 Richard Arrington Jr. Blvd. N.\, Birmingham\, AL 35203Theme: Black-Tie Event \nTickets are on sale now through Ticketmaster. \nGET TICKETS – 8Ball & MJG and Bun B featuring The Renaissance Orchestra \nFollow Urbanham.com for more Birmingham concerts\, entertainment\, events and things to do around the Magic City.
