We'll be in our temporary space which is right next door toward Food City.
Hopefully the construction projects will be finished before our next show.

Sam Lewis will be at Market Street tomorrow night. We have plenty of seats left so bring your friends to hear this artist while we can still get him. Sam has been touring with the Kenny Vaughn Trio and just opened for New Grass royalty, John Cowan, at the Shed. The buzz is growing for this guy and we expect him to "break through" any minute. His personal and touching songs are matched by a distinctive voice. We heard him tear up Market Street with Roy Orbison's "Crying" so we know it's true that he could work as a front man singing other folks songs, but he's chosen to go it the hard way and stay true to his own work.

Sam Lewis is one of the best singer songwriters around. His words are special. His voice is special. And we are really grateful that Sam can work us into his schedule. Check him out:

Now come on out and have some fun with us.

Social hour starts at 6. Bring a dish if you want to join the pot luck supper but feel free to do anything you want and come on out. The folks who get there just in time for the music are missing a good time with some great people.

Music starts at 7 and we'll send you home happy at 9:30 ish.

BYOB and BYO food, because we don't serve either.

Email me to let me know you're coming.

ABOUT OUR MUSIC SERIES

Music at Market Street combines our serious affection for singer songwriters, live performance of original music, and socializing with our friends and families. We started it up in the Spring of 2012 on a whim. The idea was to have a family friendly atmosphere where we could chat and visit, share food and adult beverages if we so choose, and listen to some of the best music in Tennessee. So far it's working. We meet new people every week and folks are now driving out from Knoxville and other far flung places to experience their favorite artists in a small room with great acoustics. The only complaint we ever hear is "Why didn't you tell me about this sooner?"

The people who play for us are very good. They write and record songs and are excellent musicians. We tend to be heavy on Americana genre but we recently had R&B virtuoso Jason Eskridge, so good music is good music. Most of our artists are suggested by the artists who have played at Market Street, on the theory that musicians know music. So far everyone has been better than good. We also pester artists we like after hearing them on stage at one venue or another and we try to get people you would have to go to the Bijou, Jammin' at Hippie Jack's music festival, or someplace like that to hear. They bring their CD's and other stuff for purchase. We pay artists all we can and, after expenses, donate any extra to charities we like. We take no money ourselves.

Directions

Market Street is located just to the left of Food City at Ladd Landing in Kingston. The official address is 1000 Ladd Landing Boulevard, Kingston, TN.
