Lineup announced for the Bristol Rhythm and Roots Reunion
The Bristol Rhythm and Roots Reunion Festival returns to its historic location September 13-15. Split down the middle by the state lines of Tennessee and Virginia, Bristol is officially designated by U.S. Congress as the “birthplace of country music,” due to the lasting impact of the legendary 1927 Bristol Sessions recordings from which they emerged. Overtaking several blocks of downtown below the iconic “Bristol Sign,” the festival showcases the roots and far-reaching branches of those sessions on more than a dozen stages over the course of the three-day weekend. Initial announced headliners include 49 Winchester, Ashley McBryde, The Wallflowers, The Red Clay Strays, Molly Tuttle & Golden Highway, Sam Bush, Wilderado, The SteelDrivers, Brittney Spencer, Drayton Farley, Jaime Wyatt, Bella White, and Silverada, among many others.
Festival goers are encouraged to visit the Birthplace of Country Music Museum, an affiliate of the Smithsonian Institution, located just steps away from festival gates. This year marks the 10th anniversary of the interactive museum, a milestone among many sweeping across The Crooked Road: Virginia’s Heritage Music Trail—which celebrates its own 20th anniversary this year.
