Bombadil will be returning to WDVX’s Tennessee Shines Radio Show on Wednesday, July 26th at 7pm. Durham, NC’s irrepressibly creative band Bombadil brings their infections harmonies and inventive compositions back to our stage. We’ll hear songs from their latest release, “Fences” as well as old favorites.
Tennessee Shines Radio Show is performed for a live audience every Wednesday at 7 p.m. at Boyd’s Jig & Reel musical pub in Knoxville’s historic Old City. The show is broadcast live on WDVX FM and WDVX.com. Tickets are $10 in advance, available at http://
