Jackson singer Hope MacGregor took the stage at First South Financial's Business After Hours gathering, bringing a hometown sound to a networking night for local professionals.
Organizers invited the local artist to perform for attendees as the credit union hosted the after-hours event. Coverage from WBBJ described her set as carrying a signature American sound familiar to Hub City listeners.
Business After Hours events are designed to mix relationship-building with light entertainment, and MacGregor's appearance gave the evening a live-music centerpiece instead of only remarks and hors d'oeuvres.
