A festival at the birthplace of country music?
Quite literally, music to my ears…
Bristol Rhythm & Roots Reunion just revealed their 2024 lineup, which includes the hometown band 49 Winchester, headlining once again, this time alongside the great Ashley McBryde, and that’s just the beginning of the great artists that will be gracing the stage.
In addition to those two headliners, The Red Clay Strays, Silverada, Molly Tuttle, Hannah Dasher, Drayton Farley, The Steeldrivers, The Wallflowers, Bella White and many more.
You can check out the full lineup in the graphic below, and tickets are on sale now. The festival will take place on September 13-15th in Downtown Bristol on the Tennessee/Virginia state line:
“Tickets are on sale at BristolRhythm.com. Get yours now & make plans to join us September 13-15 down on State Street! Secure your tickets now at BristolRhythm.com, prices raise March 7th!”
They always have a wide range of artists from a range of genres like indie rock and cowpunk to Piedmont blues and traditional bluegrass. This will mark the 23rd annual year of the festival, and will take place September 8th through the 10th.
It was first established to honor the legacy of producer Ralph Peer’s 1927 Bristol Sessions, which gave us the first recordings of the Carter Family and Jimmie Rodgers and essentially established country as we know it today.
The rest, as they say, is some pretty damn incredible country music history, so make sure you check it out if you’re in the the area or want to take a trip to the place that gave us such an incredible genre of music.
