The “Sunset Music Series” is presented by Boyd’s Jig & Reel, in the Old City in Knoxville.
“This partnership is a natural fit for the Jig and Reel,” Jig & Reel co-owner Jenny Boyd said earlier this month, “Particularly since our music venue is committed to preserving traditional music from this area. The type of music at the Jig & Reel is the same as the Heritage Center’s Sunset Music Series, and we’re proud to promote and preserve both.”
Admission to each concert is $5.00 and may be purchased at the door. Admission is free to all “Sunset Music Series” concerts for members of the Great Smoky Mountain Heritage Center. Annual memberships to the Heritage Center may be purchased at the concerts for $20 per individual or $35 per family, or by calling 865-448-0044.
All concerts begin at 7:00 PM and last approximately two hours. Food and non-alcoholic beverages are available for purchase on-site. No food, drink, or coolers may be brought into the concert.
