Concert this weekend in Burnsville

Knoxville “newgrassers” Wild Blue Yonder will perform at 7:30 pm on Friday (Sept. 4) at the Burnsville Town Center. Tickets are $10 and are now available at the Town Center. Burnsville audiences have enjoyed the rousing yet soulful brand of acoustic music this East Tennessee ensemble delivers for the past three years.

At this Friday’s show, Wild Blue Yonder will serve up old time fiddle favorites, a dash of bluegrass and plenty of traditional gospel numbers. A little clogging might even break out in the second set, as sometimes happens when the feisty foursome takes the Town Center stage.

Wild Blue Yonder has released two CDs, “Bolt Out Of The Blue” (2002) and “Above & Beyond” (2004), both of which are available at CDBaby.com. In describing their sound, the band often uses the term “Appalachian Americana,” which they say conveys a respect for tradition combined with more progressive leanings.
