“I grew up going to Jazz Fest where you could hear all genres of music from pop to country, rock to southern gospel and have incredible food. But nothing like that really existed here in Middle Tennessee,” shares Pilgrimage partner and Better Than Ezra co-founding vocalist, guitarist and songwriter Kevin Griffin. “We are so proud of this year’s lineup. It really showcases the diversity of sounds coming from Music City and all in a family-friendly environment with the best artisans and makers and cuisine in one place.”
Pilgrimage will again feature Maker’s Village to spotlight local and regional craft vendors and Bell’s Brewery Craft Beer Hall with televised SEC and NFL football games. Attendees can also experience the Millville, TN Market as well as the Farm to Turntable Food Truck Park featuring local food trucks including bars and a shaded center court. Between sets, celebrate the musical heritage of the Deep South with the Americana Music Triangle Experience.
