Knoxville Live Music Calendar 09/14 - 09/20

So I was wrong about it getting cooler last week. Yes, the lows were lower, but it was still hot hot hot. Maybe we'll do better this week. Anyway, check out our list and enjoy some Knoxville live music!

Call it a calendar, call it an event planner, call it whatever you want. Let us know in the comments if we missed a show! Have a great week!!
