520 Etc.: The Rising Stars of Sundown
Knoxville is very lucky.
Not only do we get to see some of the biggest names in the music business for free on a weekly basis in a cool, historic setting, but we are also fortunate to witness the lift-off of some of tomorrow's headliners - many of them from right here in our own backyard.
To be selected as an opener for Sundown in the City is no small pat on the back. It's a serious nod to a band's talent and appeal. Knoxville520 hopes to shed some more light on these up-and-coming artists in our continuing Rising Stars of Sundown series. Each week, we'll say a few words about the opening band for that Thursday's Sundown. We'll provide links to their websites, MySpace pages, sound clips (if available) and show you their ugly mugs - so you'll know what talent looks like when you see it! We encourage you to leave a comment about the bands - especially the local ones - so they know how proud Knoxville is of them!
This week, Sundown in the City welcomes two bands as openers: Antibalas and the Low Stars.
Tonight's headliner is Edwin McCain. The opening bands will take the stage starting at 6:15pm. There are no coolers or pets allowed and wristbands are required to drink.
Happy Sundown Season!
