SUMMARY:First Friday Live — 8/7 — Miss Tess
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, August 7 / 6:00 – 7:00 PMKnoxville Visitors CenterFREE!\nHosted by Daniel Fluitt\nJoin us for our next First Friday Live presenting Miss Tess! Our Maker will be Kate Zibas with Illustrate Kate\n\nMiss Tess is one of those singular artists who deserve all the superlatives and accolades one could hoist upon a rare talent such as hers. This unassuming chanteuse is\, as they say in the business\, a true “triple threat” – a superb songwriter and adept multi-instrumentalist with an extraordinary voice that can sing the birds from the trees.\nHer music takes root and draws from an era when country music\, contrary to popular belief\, was downright sophisticated\, and filled with instrumentalists who were every bit as hip musically as their jazz counterparts – stretching back to a time when Western swing bands and jazz bands played a lot of the same material – albeit with a different accent\, informed by their physical location. Location has a lot to do with the new Miss Tess album\, but I’ll get to that in a minute. I would like to stress here that Miss Tess is not necessarily a “country” artist per se\, although if she were invited to play the Grand Ole Opry\, she would not be out of place\, and would no doubt be very well received. Country Soul might be a better descriptor if I was forced to label it\, but her music also has elements of rhythm and blues\, jazz\, country blues\, rock n’ roll – but never manufactured to re-create a particular sound or era. I’m tempted to call this new Miss Tess album “easy listening” except she’d probably slap me. But damn\, it really is so easy to listen to: laid back\, soulful\, funky\, and addictive … much like the place it was recorded in and inspired by.\nThe new Miss Tess album is the product of an on-going love affair with the culturally rich region of South Louisiana known as Acadiana\, or more specifically\, the magical little city of Lafayette. If New Orleans is the “Big Easy\,” then Lafayette is certainly the “Little Easier.” It is hard to describe this sleepy little town unless you’ve been here and experienced its infectious atmosphere for yourself. It may not be for everyone\, but if you are of a certain disposition\, it could affect you in ways you might not have imagined – it might even change your life.\nI sometimes think of Lafayette as a cultural vortex with a magnetic pull that attracts like-minded souls. If you are longing for community\, (music or otherwise)\, you’ll likely find it here. Relaxed\, warm and welcoming\, folks here are unafraid to show affection for one another\, and are there for each other when times get tough. Cajun and Creole music\, mostly sung in French\, permeates the air\, and hardwood floors are filled with excellent dancers of all ages and ethnicities. Each successive generation passes the time-honored traditions down to the next\, preserving the cuisine\, music\, and language. Even in times of great strife and uncertainty\, Lafayette somehow always manages to provide a soft landing.\nMiss Tess lives and works in Nashville these days but is a recurrent visitor to Lafayette. She has played our clubs and is a frequent guest at the beloved Blackpot Festival and Cook Off\, held every year on the last weekend of October since its inception in 2006. She has made many lifelong friends and fans in Lafayette since she first started visiting here back in 2010\, and many of them are among the finest musicians South Louisiana has to offer. The same can be said for her uber-talented musical partner\, the ubiquitous Thomas Bryan Eaton – guitar mastermind and producer extraordinaire. Thomas is an exceptional musician and has been a key element in Miss Tess’s touring band for many years. He is a wizard in the studio and a highly sympathetic musical collaborator. Thomas and Tess met onstage in New York City back in 2010\, and they both visited Lafayette that same year\, attending Blackpot for the first time. They’ve been coming back as often as possible ever since.

SUMMARY:Tennessee Shines with The Montvales and Garrett Boys — Live at Bluetick Tavern — 8/19
DESCRIPTION:Tickets Here! \nTennessee Shines returns to Bluetick Tavern and Tap in downtown Maryville on Wednesday\, August 19 at 7:00 PM. This live concert and radio show features The Montvales and Garrett Boys. Doors open at 6:00 PM! All ages are welcome. \nBorn and raised in Knoxville\, TN\, Sally Buice and Molly Rochelson of The Montvales spent much of their formative years busking amidst the Elvis impersonators and musical saw players of the town’s Market Square\, honing their uniquely boisterous harmonies and perfecting the art of people-watching. Some fifteen years later\, the two are still at it-maintaining their study of the robust chaos of the commons as they tour the country playing their descriptive\, textured songs on the self-described “feral outskirts of country music.”  Their lyrics tackle everything from heartbreak to gentrification to abortion rights\, pulling audiences in alongside their well-worn harmonies and nearly telepathic musical connection.   \nIn 2020\, the Montvales recorded their first album Heartbreak Summer Camp in a living room. The stripped-down\, DIY folksongs span their young adulthood\, beginning in their teens and taking them through their mid 20s. Then\, seeking a more polished\, full-band sound\, the duo recorded their next album Born Strangers at Sean Sullivan’s Tractor Shed Studio in Goodlettsville\, TN\, recruiting Nashville stalwart Mike Eli LoPinto (guitarist for Chris Stapleton\, producer of Emily Nenni’s On the Ranch) to produce it.  The record garnered them a dedicated cult following and has been featured by outlets such as Holler\, American Songwriter\, Twangville\, and more.   \nThe Montvales have gone on to share the stage with bands like Willy Tea Taylor and the Fellership\, The Local Honeys\, James McMurtry\, and Mama’s Broke\, and have appeared at festivals such as Healing Appalachia and the Old Quarter Songwriter Festival.  In 2025 they signed with Free Dirt Records to release the single “Loud and Clear”\, with a hint at more new music to come.   \nEvery family has its own unique history\, a timeline fleshed out by memorable characters\, milestone events\, and the stories passed on through the decades that bind it all together. For the Garrett Boys\, a family trio from Overton County in east Tennessee\, their history just happens to lend itself to some excellent Appalachian folk music. \nMade up of brothers Stephen and Russell Garrett\, and Stephen’s son Carter\, the Garrett Boys are rooted\, both musically and physically\, in 500 hilly\, wooded acres that have had a magnetic pull over their family for generations. The men refer to it simply as “The Land\,” and it’s the setting for nearly every one of the 11 songs on It Runs Deep\, the trio’s debut album. \n“About 200 years ago\, some Garrett boys came from North Carolina and settled in that area\,” says Stephen\, who plays acoustic guitar and sings lead in the band. “Some old records say that they acquired land between Mill Creek and Mitchell Creek\, and that’s the property that Russell and I grew up on. Carter will be the ninth generation to live on it.” \nBut while the land is specific to the Garrett Boys\, the album the group wrote about it is universal. Produced by Ray Kennedy (Steve Earle\, Lucinda Williams)\, It Runs Deep contains elements of bluegrass\, folk\, and country\, but refuses to play it safe. It nods to their varied influences\, from Steve Earle and Rodney Crowell to Chris Knight and Hank Williams Jr. \nWith It Runs Deep\, the Garrett Boys memorialize those family stories — for themselves\, for their descendants\, and now for fans of classic American folk music. \n“Our music is about the importance and depth of family and community\,” Stephen says. “It’s a mix of what we have been versus what we can become\, and how we can take the good from all that and build a future.” \nSponsored by Corona and Tennessee Stone!

SUMMARY:Tommy Emmanuel - Live at the Tennessee Theatre - 8/23
DESCRIPTION:Get Tickets Here! \nHailed as “one of the best acoustic guitarists in the world” by NPR’s World Cafe\, Tommy Emmanuel got his start at the age of six\, when he first began touring his native Australia with his family’s band. As a teenager\, he earned a reputation as a highly sought after sideman and session player\, and by his early twenties\, Emmanuel was playing on chart-topping hits and performing with acts like Air Supply and Men at Work. Inspired in part by his hero\, Chet Atkins (who would later become a friend\, mentor\, and collaborator)\, Emmanuel stepped out on his own as a solo artist in 1979\, releasing the first in a string of acclaimed instrumental albums that would make him an unlikely celebrity in his home country and beyond.

SUMMARY:WDVX Summer Nights - 9/9 - The Jason Carter Band / The Asheville Mountain Boys
DESCRIPTION:WDVX Summer Nights\nWednesday\, September 9\, 2026 | Doors 6:00 PM | Show 7:00 PM\nYee-Haw Brewing\, Knoxville\, TN\nFREE | All Ages \nWDVX is proud to present another night of free live music on the big stage at Yee-Haw Brewing for the 2026 Summer Nights concert series! \n  \nIn Lloyd\, Kentucky\, on U.S. 23\, there’s a sign on the Country Music Highway dedicated to renowned fiddler Jason Carter. It was placed there because of his other accomplishments—the Grammy awards\, the worldwide tours\, and the many other accolades he’s earned through his music. But for Carter\, joining the legendary names honored on that stretch of highway just might mean the most. “There’s a certain sound that’s up there that you just don’t hear anywhere else\,” he says. “I think that played a big part in how I sound today.” \nTrue to those Kentucky roots\, Carter continues to pour all he has back into bluegrass. For thirty years\, he has been the fiddle player for the Del McCoury Band—the most awarded group in bluegrass history. He’s won three Grammy awards\, including 2018’s “Best Bluegrass Album” with the Travelin’ McCourys\, of which he is a founding member. And he’s taken home five IBMAs for “Fiddle Player of the Year\,” a staggering number that isn’t quite so crazy once you realize just how many bluegrass greats have turned to Carter for collaboration. \nAs a fiddler\, Carter has been featured on albums by Steve Earle\, Ricky Skaggs\, Dierks Bentley\, Charlie Daniels\, Vince Gill\, Asleep at the Wheel\, and many more\, all in addition to his tireless touring and recording with Del as well as the Travelin’ McCourys. On Carter’s forthcoming solo album\, Lowdown Hoedown\, listeners may recognize instrumental contributions from such legends as Jerry Douglas or Sam Bush alongside vocals from young trailblazers like Sarah Jarosz or Billy Strings. This time\, though\, Carter is singing lead. \n  \nBy their name\, you know where they are from\, and by their sound\, you know what they are about. The Asheville Mountain Boys are on a mission to capture not just the style but the spirit of traditional bluegrass. Asheville\, NC has long been known for great music and its roots in bluegrass go back to the founding of the genre (Bill Monroe’s first broadcast performance as the Bluegrass Boys was at Asheville radio station WWNC in 1938) A group that firmly stakes its claim to the tradition of the music from the area\, The Asheville Mountain Boys spring onto the scene with a thought\, ”What happened to bluegrass?” It’s not a disparaging one that condemns current styles in the genre but rather asks\, “Why do we love this music in the first place” and answers with an approach that is true to the originators of the genre in the sense of both style and philosophy. Bluegrass is raw emotion\, excitement\, drive\, and authenticity. It is not sanitized or compromised but a reflection of the lives of those who play it. It’s storytelling that follows a throughline of tradition. \n  \nThanks to our sponsors: Yee-Haw Brewing\, ORNL Federal Credit Union\, and Garza Law. \n

The Royal Hounds latest release\, A Whole Lot of Nothin’ is seeing plenty of success\, even charting on the Americana radio charts. Lead singer Scott Hinds spent three years in Vegas in the Tony Award Winning show Million Dollar Quartet\, but he is now back home in Tennessee\, taking the Royal Hounds across America and across the globe. You can currently see them every Tuesday afternoon at the world’s most famous honky tonk\, Robert’s Western World\, in Nashville\, TN. \n  \nThanks to our sponsors: Yee-Haw Brewing\, ORNL Federal Credit Union\, and Garza Law. \n
