Michelle Branch plays for the wealthy in Blount County
If you saw Michelle Branch perform with her country band, The Wreckers, at the 2006 Foothills Fall Festival in downtown Maryville, you might be interested to learn that she’s returning to Blount County for another performance.
This time, however, those who wish to attend her show on Sunday, Sept. 6, will have to pony up some cash — because she’s playing an exclusive show at the luxury resort Blackberry Farm, located at 1471 W. Millers Cove Road in Townsend. It’s a swanky place, from what we here — and you’ll definitely need some cash to hear the honey-voiced singer-songwriter perform. A call to the resort reveals that there’s a three-night minimum stay because it’s Labor Day weekend. The prices — which, granted, include three fabulous meals a day, all snacks and non-alcoholic beverages and various other amenities — are more than the average person pays for a month’s rent: from $995 per night to $1,595 per night.
Short of hitting Powerball, we suggest checking out Michelle on her Myspace page if you want to hear her tunes.
