Due to European travel restrictions brought on by the volcano eruption in Iceland, Ben Sollee is stuck in Sweden and will be unable to perform at the Festival. He will perform in Knoxville at a later date (to be determined) and Rhythm n’ Blooms passholders will receive priority tickets. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by this change. Here’s a message from Ben:

Hello everyone! I have to say it’s been a long time since I’ve missed a show but at least I can say it was volcanic ash that stood in my way. I’m stuck in Stockholm which is not a bad place to be stuck but I’d much rather be there performing with my fellow musicians in Knoxville’s Botanical Gardens. Knoxville has become very dear to me over the years and I really feel like I’m letting friends down. I’ll make it up to you. Promise. ;)

Take care,
Ben


East Tennessee’s musical history is as rich as it is varied. Dogwood Arts Festival celebrates this heritage with Rhythm N‘ Blooms, musical performances by locally-revered and nationally-renowned artists whose work falls under the broad banner of “Americana” music – a genre that spans country, blues, jazz, rock, bluegrass, and folk and is generally characterized by a strong sense of musical tradition even as it may expand beyond traditional musical boundaries. Rhythm N‘ Blooms is produced in partnership with Knoxville Americana Music Foundation, Attack Monkey Productions, Metro Pulse and WDVX radio.
