Tennessee River
Thursday, May 30th
Artist Website

Tennessee River was formed in January of 2002 with the idea of bringing back and paying tribute to one of the most influential and vocally dynamic country bands of our time – Alabama. Receiving over 150 industry awards including 8 country music “Entertainer of the Year” honors, 2 Grammy’s, 2 People’s Choice Awards, “Artist of the Decade” recognition by the Academy of Country Music, “Country Group of the Century” honors from the RIAA, induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame (one of only two bands ever to get that honor) and their very own star on the “Hollywood Walk of Fame,” there is no doubt that Alabama has become an icon in music history. Given that kind of illustrious track record, this is why Tennessee River was born — to spotlight an incredible band that really to this day has never been recognized by any tribute project to the degree they should be...until now.

From the early to the mid-'90s, a plethora of harmony groups - both male and female - dominated the pop and urban airwaves. The sound of four voices blended together was almost a throwback to decades earlier when classic Motown teams like The Temptations, The Miracles and The Four Tops ruled creating timeless music that still resonates today.

Big Bad Boogie Rock
Saturday June 1st

Big Bad Boogie Rock performs all varieties of music from the 70’s not to mention dresses the part with costumes that reflect the times of the era. The band’s repertoire consists of music from the 70s, and also includes hits from 1968 thru 1983. The band plays 15 years of great music hits all in one show. When you see Big Bad Boogie Rock on stage in costume it will literally take you back to that moment in time, afros, bell-bottom pants with psychedelic patterns and bright colors, the peace sign, funky jewelry, platform shoes and all of the fashion fads.

You will be dancing all night long when you hear songs like “I Will Survive”, “Black Magic Woman”, “Brick House”, “Get Down Tonight”, “Miss You”, “Bad Case of Loving You”, “Hot Stuff”, and many more great hits.  #1 songs, the #1 look, and the #1 band that plays all the 70s favorites—Big Bad Boogie Rock!
