(Radio Iowa) – A Carroll native who’s currently coaching the Philadelphia 76ers is hosting events in his hometown this week. It’s called the Nick Nurse Foundation’s Golf and Music Festival and the golf tournament starts tomorrow (Thursday). A popular indie rock band called Mt. Joy will headline the evening’s entertainment. Nurse connected with the band in Philadelphia.

The band will recreate Fleetwood Mac’s 1979 “Tusk” music video with help from the Carroll and Carroll Kuemper marching bands.

Friday’s headliners are two of the most iconic bands of the 20th century: The Jacksons and Jefferson Starship. Nurse recently saw both bands perform.

Tickets can be purchased online. Nurse started this week’s activities on Tuesday with a shooting camp for basketball players. Today, (Wednesday), though, the focus shifts to music.

A Philadelphia based band called “Purple Wonder” is performing for the group.

Nurse says the evening is a sort of dress rehearsal, mic check for the performances later this week. Nurse, who is 58, played college basketball for the Northern Iowa Panthers. His first head coaching job was with Grand View University in Des Moines and he led the D-League “Iowa Energy” for five seasons. In 2019, Nurse was coach of the Toronto Raptors when the team won the N-B-A championship.
