Sundown in the City 2011 lineup announced
You’ve been asking about it, so start making plans — Sundown in the City, the annual free concert series held on Market Square in downtown Knoxville, returns for 2011 on April 21.
It’s a free series of shows that was scaled back from a weekly run over several months in previous years to every other week last year. For 2011, there will be five Sundown performances, all taking place on Thursdays starting on the 21st.
It first began in 1998 and is an annual entertainment event held every spring, brought to the public by AC Entertainment and a number of sponsors. Gates open at 6 p.m. every Thursday, and the music starts at 7. Free parking is available after 6 p.m. at the Locust Street, Market Square and State Street garages.
This year’s lineup includes:
- April 21 — Randy Houser with JC and The Dirty Smokers
- May 12 — Better Than Ezra with Johnny Astro & The Big Bang
- May 19 — Umphrey’s McGee with Zach Deputy
- June 2 — Jonny Lang with Megan McCormick
