Music and nature team up to benefit an East Tennessee treasure
If you don’t have plans Saturday — or even if you do but don’t consider them very important — you might want to check out a great fundraiser taking place this weekend, June 5, at Ijams Nature Center, 2915 Island Home Ave. in South Knoxville:
IjamsFest
Celebrate the coming of summer and the great outdoors. IjamsFest offers crafts, food, drink, and several local bands including Jack Wolfe, Catfish Mercury Load, The Lonetones, The Bearded, Cain and Annabelle, Todd Steed and the Suns of Phere and the Natti Love Joys outside on the meadow surrounding the Plaza Pavilion. Tickets are $10 for an all-day pass with all the proceeds supporting Ijams Nature Center. Bring blankets or chairs. No coolers allowed. For more information or to buy advanced tickets, go to: www.ijams.org. (It takes place from 3-10 p.m.)
Free music Thursday! Download these mp3s from Bellfield, The Bearded and Ian Thomas!
Our online library of local music — all free for you to download, courtesy of the amazing local musicians around these parts — continues to grow. Today, we’re pleased to offer three more mp3s, from artists we’ve written about within the past year!
First up — The Bearded, that collection of hairy guys who make music like they just tumbled out of a time-traveling Delorean that made a wrong turn somewhere around the Cumberland Gap circa 1916. Read last year’s interview with the band here.

Local rockers Bellfield have a big show coming up on Sept. 26 — they’re headlining The Bijou Theatre in downtown Knoxville, during which they’ll record the show for posterity and sell a double-live album of the performance at a later date.

Finally, the latest musician to add a song to our library hasn’t been in East Tennessee very long, but he’s probably logged more miles in his travels than a lot of his fellow performers in the local scene combined. He’s been everywhere, man, as Johnny Cash would sing, and now he’s in the pages of Weekend. Read today’s story on Ian Thomas: Click here

K-Town Sound Local Music Showcase: next Saturday
It’s a wonder that those of us covering local music around these parts don’t pull our hair out. (Another reason I shave mine.) Every time we turn around, it seems there’s another event popping up that’s slipped in under the radar. For example, the K-Town Sound Local Music Showcase, which is being presented by WDVX-FM and taking place from noon to 8 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 29, at the World’s Fair Park Amphitheatre in downtown Knoxville.
On the bill: The Bearded, The Drunk Uncles, The Leadbetters with Phil Leadbetter, Brendon James Wright and The Wrongs, Van Eaton and Friends, The Early Morning Stringdusters, The Tennessee Shines Band, The Black Cadillacs, Y’uns, Medford’s Black Record Collection and more.
The cost is $10 in advance and $15 at the gate; UT students are admitted for $5; children 12 and younger are admitted free.
For more information, call WDVX at 544-1029 or visit the station online.
