We are happy to announce our fifth trip to the Birthplace of Country Music, the border town of Bristol, TN/VA, on Sunday, August 15. Our friends at the Birthplace of Country Music Alliance are welcoming us back for our sixth recording in five years at the Paramount Center for the Arts.

Everything about Bristol is vibrant and historic. If you aren't familiar with the place where, in 1927, Ralph Peer made some of the first commercially successful recordings of The Carter Family, Jimmy Rogers and more, then you can do a little reading to catch up and watch a video from our HD-TV series below.

We've got three esteemed guests lined up already, including the legendary roots guitarist Doc Watson, another roots music luminary in David Holt, plus singer-songwriter Justin Townes Earle.

Tickets will go on sale Friday, July 9 and will be available ONLINE, by phone at 423.274.8920, or the Paramount Box Office at 518 State Street, Bristol, TN. We're looking forward to returning to Bristol.
