Sunset Series: Blue Ridge Gathering!

The Great Smoky Mountains Heritage Center presents: Blue Ridge Gathering!
Join us for an unforgettable evening with Blue Ridge Gathering, a Knoxville-based neo-traditional old-time trio known for their high-energy performances and rich blend of American roots, old-time, and Celtic-inspired music.
Featuring Cody Bauer, Jessica Watson, and Duck Ryan, this award-winning group weaves original songs, timeless fiddle tunes, and covers of artists like Reeltime Travelers, Gillian Welch, and Joe Troop into every show. Winners of the 2024 Neo-Traditional Band Competition at the renowned Appalachian Stringband Festival (Clifftop), Blue Ridge Gathering promises a foot-tapping, heartwarming concert you won’t want to miss.
They recently recorded a new EP featuring original tracks that showcase their ability to create a big, vibrant sound with just three instruments—and plenty of charm.
