The founders started this venture by listening to our friends and neighbors and asking them what do you wanted. Their replies were resounding “Something different”\, “something outside”\, “something that Hickory can be proud of”\, “something family friendly”. The guys at the Hum listened\, and guess what? We’re doing it. The Hum is a space that will be different\, exciting\, and a community point of pride. A place to gather with old friends\, to meet new friends\, and most importantly\, a place to get down and boogie.
