bristolrhythm's Profile

About me:The award-winning Bristol Rhythm & Roots Reunion isn't just a music festival. It's an infectious, three-day music experience, bursting with creative passion, electricity and soul. Every third weekend in September, State Street in Historic Downtown Bristol, TN/VA is amped to the beat of Appalachia's past, present & future. It digs down deep into the roots of traditional Appalachian sound and lifts its branches to new heights. It all happens in the heart of the Birthplace of Country Music.

Nashville may be country music's capitol, but Bristol is the Birthplace. It was on State Street in 1927 that talent scout Ralph Peer made the very first country music recordings with The Carter Family, Jimmie Rodgers, Ernest Stoneman, and others, for the Victor Talking Machine Company. The recordings known as The Bristol Sessions are recognized internationally as the "Big Bang of Country Music".

Johnny Cash once said that The Bristol Sessions are "the single most important event in the history of country music."
Though we honor the history of those roots, we are known for booking the best up-and-coming, progressive roots artists around.
