Yee-Haw Brewing, Broadway, Knoxville, TN

FREE | All Ages

WDVX is proud to present the kickoff concert for the 2026 Summer Sessions and Summer Nights concert series on the big stage at Yee-Haw Brewing, featuring two-time IBMA Guitarist of the Year and Grammy Award winner Trey Hensley! Opening for Hensley will be Knoxville Americana Country band Lazarus Lake.

Trey Hensley is touring to support his highly anticipated solo album Can’t Outrun the Blues on Pinecastle Records. Trey’s music has been a staple on the WDVX airwaves for years, especially his recordings and performances with Dobro Wizard Rob Ickes. He just played the Grand Ole Opry, getting closer to 200 performances on that historic stage, and is also featured as an opening act on Tommy Emmanuel’s latest tour.

Lazarus Lake released their debut album Family Tree last May and will open the evening with their Americana country sound.

This kickoff concert happens on the final day of WDVX’s Spring Fund Drive (April 8-15), giving folks a chance to donate and celebrate with live music. We’ll also unveil the exciting lineup for both the Summer Sessions and Summer Nights free concert series at this event!
