Songwriters Series supports the Humane Society of the Ohio Valley

MARIETTA, OH. (WTAP) – A Songwriters Series Fundraiser for the Humane Society of the Ohio Valley is coming to the Lafayette Hotel on Friday, May 17th.

Described as a casual get-together for music lovers, Moon Mullen hopes to entertain while helping out his area shelter.

Moon Mullen will be the host and a performer during the night. Joining him will be father-son musicians, Joe Wharff and Jack Wharff.

Mullen said, “the Songwriter-in-the-Round is my favorite way of highlighting the craft of songwriting.” He explained that each artist will share a song and the story behind it.

“All three of us have written songs about Marietta,” according to Mullen, “it will be a real back-home moment!”

The event will be in the Gun Room at The Lafayette Hotel at 8 p.m.

There is a suggested donation of $10, or a large bag of Purina dog chow or cat chow.

Moon explained that representatives with the HSOV said they have about 85 dogs, which is a lot for them.

Buddy, who is available for adoptions, stopped by to do the interview with Mullen.

Buddy is about 2-2.5 years old. He’s listed as a Boxer/Shepherd mix. He has a great personality. He knows several tricks and is very treat motivated. He loves to cuddle and is great with everyone, including children.

If you’d like to adopt Buddy, head over to hsov.org and fill out an application. Or, you can stop by the shelter and meet him in person.
