Bluegrass in the Smokies

Last night we played in Vonore Tn at the Little Tennessee River Music
Festival. The stage was set in the middle of the Smoky Mountains
overlooking a lake in this great amphitheater. While the first band
played - skies were blue, beautiful breeze was blowing, and then BAM
the clouds started rolling in and this HUGE thunderstorm began.
Sideways rain, lightening, huge thunder claps - a true southern summer
night thunderstorm. It took about 5 guys just at the Front of House
sound board to hold down the tarps. It was crazy. The show stalled for
almost 2 full hours - and let me tell ya, I was completely astounded
at the people in Vonore - no one left! They all hung out in the
Sequoya Birthplace Museum until the storms passed and stayed for the
next 3 bands and the fireworks show! We didn't even finish our set
until 12:15 - and the crowd was phenomenal! It was truly a show I will
never forget. When the storms passed and as they were drying off
equipment to get everything powered on - we looked behind us and saw
the most beautiful rainbow over the lake. I couldn't get the whole
thing in the pic - but you can see a good half of it. :)

It felt like a movie backstage while the storms were happening. A
bunch of us were trapped in this little dressing room so Sammi Moore
and the other singers and players started jamming to some bluegrass. I
mean, I'm in the middle ofthe Smokies where much of that style of
music began, surrounded by these amazing singers and pickers, we're
all fanning ourselves with whatever we can find, and God provided a
pretty unbelievable light show. Yeah, I love what I do.
