ABOUT THE PERFORMERS

Sugar Lime Blue is an established Nashville group that is redefining Americana, drawing from the three main American stylings of Jazz, Blues, and Country to create a purely unique sound.

Dylan Zmed and his brother Zach are the Everly Brothers Experience, and both are remarkable in their renditions of one of the most renowned musical duets in history.

Beth Snapp is one of the most popular regional artists performing today. She fits around and between folk, bluegrass, pop, early R&B, and jazz to create a unique sound with one purpose – to serve a story.

“August under the Stars” is sponsored by Eastman, Eastman Credit Union, Visit Kingsport, Ballad Health and BAE Systems.

About Allandale Mansion

Allandale Mansion was built in the early 1950s and donated to the City of Kingsport in 1969 after the death of its owner, Harvey Brooks. The property includes the mansion, two barns, a picnic pavilion, two man-made ponds, the Heron Dome and a 2,000-square-foot amphitheater. For more information visit www.allandalemansion.com.

About the City of Kingsport

Founded in 1917, the City of Kingsport (pop. 55,400) is located on the Tennessee-Virginia border at the crossroads of I-81 and I-26 near the geographic center of the eastern U.S. The city is widely known as a planned community, designed by renowned city planner John Nolen and wrapping around the foot of Bays Mountain – a 3,750-acre park, nature preserve, planetarium and observatory. Kingsport is recognized as an International Safe Community by the National Safety Council, a Healthier Tennessee community, and won the 2009 Harvard Innovations in American Government Award for its higher education initiatives. While many city names are duplicated throughout the U.S., there’s only one Kingsport – a fact that invokes community pride, known locally as the “Kingsport Spirit.”
