Murfreesboro, TN - If you hear the faint strum of a ukulele drifting through downtown Murfreesboro next weekend, don’t worry—you’re not imagining things. It’s just the Murfreesboro Ukulele Orchestra, affectionately known as The MUO Crew, tuning up for their next big gig. At 1:00 o'clock this coming Saturday afternoon (11/8/2025) the group will bring their breezy blend of classic hits and island flair to the Linebaugh Public Library, 105 W. Vine Street. The concert is free, family-friendly, and will take place in the Youth Services Story Room—though don’t be surprised if the music spills into the stacks.

Known for their “cheerful precision” and “sunny flair,” The MUO Crew has carved out a niche in Middle Tennessee’s music scene by reimagining iconic tunes from the ’60s, ’70s, and ’80s. From Beatles harmonies to Jimmy Buffett’s beachy ballads and Van Morrison’s soulful classics, their set lists are a love letter to musical nostalgia—with a ukulele twist.

The group isn’t just about good vibes and catchy chords. They’re a community-based ensemble that regularly performs at local festivals, libraries, and arts events. Their mission? To make music accessible, joyful, and just a little bit whimsical.

“This isn’t your average concert,” said one library staffer. “It’s like a beach vacation for your ears—without the airfare.”

The event is part of the Rutherford County Library System’s ongoing effort to bring arts and culture to the community. And with The MUO Crew’s reputation for toe-tapping joy and melodic storytelling, this performance promises to be a highlight of the fall calendar.

So grab a friend, bring the kids, and prepare to sway along. No ukulele required—just a love of music and maybe a fondness for Hawaiian shirts. That's at 1:00PM next Saturday afternoon in the Linebaugh Public Library, 105 W. Vine St., Murfreesboro.
