Tim began tonight's show by telling everyone about the upcoming Song of the Mountains concerts. Check out their website for more information.


 
The first band to take the stage was Addie Keene & Friends from the Kingsport, Tennessee area. Addie and the guys always put on a great show with Country tunes like the Merle Haggard hit, "Today I Started Loving You Again" and "You Ain't Woman Enough" made famous by Loretta Lynn. Band members include Addie Keene playing guitar and singing vocals, Mike Smith playing bass, Tom Ratliff on dobro and Bruce Knight playing lead guitar.


 
Caitlyn and Christina, the Chik-Fil-A Chicks stopped by the porch to tell the audience about one of our fine sponsors: Chik-Fil-A.


 
Ed Carter entertained the crowd with a couple of "true" stories.

The second band of the evening were a group of young folks, all students from the East Tennessee State University Bluegrass Program. They call themselves Overdrive Bluegrass Band. They treated the crowd to gospel numbers like "A Beautiful Life" and Bluegrass standards such as "Rough N' Rocky" and "Your Love Is Like A Flower".

Band members include Tyler Williams from Ohio singing vocals, Tom Cecil of North Carolina on banjo, Meredith Goins, a Tennessee native playing fiddle, Jared Hensley from North Carolina playing guitar, and from Tennessee, Dewayne Anderson on bass.
