Tennessee ShinesWednesday, December 30, 7 p.m.Buddy Miller is one of the most in-demand instrumentalists in Nashville if not the entire world. In addition to being a stellar songwriter and performer (both solo and with his talented wife Julie), Buddy has performed in Emmylou Harris' backing band, Spyboy, as well as played and recorded with Steve Earle, Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Robert Plant and Alison Krauss, and our very own host Jim Lauderdale. Jill Andrews recently released her first solo CD after building a reputation as a remarkable vocalist and songwriter with the everybodyfields, who played the very first Tennessee Shines. She returns to perform with her new band. Julia Nunes has built a huge audience through confessional folk songs and inventive covers that she's broadcast on the web, reaching out and speaking to young fans worldwide. Larry Cordle is most widely known as a writer and has had songs recorded by Ricky Skaggs, Garth Brooks, Alison Krauss, and many others. East Tennessee's The Drunk Uncles honor and follow in the footsteps of almighty honkytonk gods like Vern Gosdin and Buck Owens.

Scott Miller and the Commonwealth- Shiner Bock Rocks the Bijouw/ Mic Harrison & The High ScoreThursday, December 31, 9 p.m.Celebrate the dawn of 2010 in the company of Scott Miller and his band the Commonwealth. Known for non-stop touring and his eight critically acclaimed albums as well as the latest, "For Crying Out Loud." Equally at home playing scrappy, defiant rockers, humorous snips of esoterica, or tender tunes suffused with the quiet joys of home and hearth - this guy knows how to put on a show. Save time and headaches by booking a 1 or 2 night hotel package when you purchase concert tickets. Just call or stop by the Tennessee Theatre Box Office, (865) 684-1200 ext. 2, for more information. Sorry, no web sales for hotel packages. (Just think how nice it'll be to simply walk to the Hilton after the show.) Color me there! Doors open at 7:30 p.m. - The Tennessee vs. Virginia Tech bowl game will be shown live in the Bijou Theatre Gallery. |
