Please join us on the Square for our Summer Concert Series with The Tommy Townsend Band
Country music is at its best when it honors the past while blazing a trail toward the future. Few artists can bridge the genre’s most beloved traditions while carving a path of their own, but Tommy Townsend successfully inhabits that unique space.
The Georgia native actually began recording his “new” album Southern Man more than 25 years ago working with Country Music Hall of Famer Waylon Jennings and his legendary bassist Jerry Bridges. Townsend met Jennings when he was just a kid and never dreamed his idol would one day become his mentor.
Townsend’s appreciation for his mentor is obvious in the album’s intro as Jennings’ voice introduces the artist when he opened a show for him in Georgia. It immediately signals that the listener is in for something special and song after song Townsend delivers in a strong, muscular voice that has been seasoned by life and influenced by the best.
Food and beverages will be available from El Viejon, Papa Kash, American Legion Auxiliary, and Granddaddy Mimm’s starting at 6pm. Beer will be available for purchase. Local restaurants will be open as well!
