November 8 | Blackbird Bakery
B.T. Harris was born in a small town of Missouri and is now currently residing in Virginia. Harris loved writing stories ever since he was a small child and learned to love the creativity of science fiction and fantasy writers such as J.R.R. Tolkien and Jules Verne. When writing the manuscript which is now 'The Legend of Arothe' he started by writing a giant epic poem that eventually become a bigger story that will become the 'Heir of the Dark Lords' series.
When asked what his main focus to influence readers from the series, he replied, "The old Tolkien paradigm; that there is still good in the world and it is worth fighting for." B.T. Harris dedicated his writings to his close friends and family as something beyond words. He lives with his lovable and protective blue-tick healer Darcy Abu.

About John McEuen
A founding member of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band (now in their 50th year!) John McEuen has continually performed since 1964—8,500 concerts and 300 television shows throughout more than 3 million miles—with the band and as a solo performer. Beyond performing, he has a rich history of creating, producing and preserving original and traditional folk and acoustic music, and taking it to new audiences.
He brings his guitar, banjo, fiddle, and mandolin, along with favorite Dirt Band songs and the stories behind them, to the stage in a manner that recently earned the honored Best in the West Award from the Folk Alliance Organization.
About The Brother Boys
The Brother Boys have reunited to bring their tongue and groove harmony and infectious rhythm to the stage once again. Ed Snodderly and Eugene Wolf began their brother-duet singing back in the 90s, releasing three critically acclaimed recordings; two for Sugar Hill: Plow, produced by Jerry Douglas and the self-produced Presley’s Grocery and one for England’s Zu-Zazz Records, Mulehead.
Years before the term Americana was born, they called their music “New Hillbilly,” which sounded good at the time; a way to distinguish the blending of country, bluegrass and rockabilly. The Brother Boys have a knack for this old sound. The emotions and country heartache tones match the landscape of East Tennessee, where they both grew up.

November 11 | Paramount Center for the Arts
TICKETS (Member Presale available 8/30/2017, On sale to the general public September 1).
Bristol, TN – August 28, 2017 – American singer-songwriter and guitarist Corey Smith is coming to Paramount Bristol as part of his Great Wide Underground Tour.
In a genre whose biggest artists tend to be those signed to major label deals, Corey Smith is the exception — an indie-minded country singer who's spent the past decade breaking rules and selling records. – Rolling Stone
The way Corey Smith sees it he owes a debt to his fans. And it’s one he is determined to repay with his tenth album “While the Getting is Good.” The project, released on Sugar Hill Records, marks the first time that the wildly popular touring artist, who has produced all of his past efforts, has turned over the reins to a bona fide country music producer in Keith Stegall.
“While the Gettin’ Is Good”was written entirely by Corey. As such, it’s a deeply personal album, one that explores themes of love, hometown pride and even personal discovery. The result is Smith’s most ambitious record yet, as well as a return on the investment made by the fans who have supported him since his first album in 2003.
Details: November 11, at 8:00 pm. Doors open at 7:00 pm.
Tickets are available online at www.paramountbristol.org or through the box office
(423-274-8920) Tuesday – Friday from noon to 6:00 pm.
