Description

Bristol Rhythm & Roots Reunion isn’t just a music festival. It’s an infectious, three-day music experience, bursting with creative passion, electricity, and soul. Every third weekend in September, State Street in historic Downtown Bristol, TN/VA is amped to the beat of Appalachia’s past, present, and future. It digs down deep into the roots of traditional Appalachian sound and lifts its branches to new heights–and it all happens in the heart of The Birthplace of Country Music.  It is, and isn’t, your Daddy’s country music.  It’s hardly strictly bluegrass.  It’s not a rock show, but it totally does.  And if you’ve never been, you’ll never know how much.

September 14-16, 2012
Weekend Passes on sale: $40 each until August 31; $50 each September 1-13; $60 at the gate
