The Travelin’ McCourys and Circus No. 9 will perform this Saturday, July 13, for the next Summer Sessions concert event presented by ORNL Federal Credit Union.

“Grammy Award winners The Travelin’ McCourys bring excitement and energy to all their performances with their mix of traditional and progressive bluegrass music,” a press release said. “East Tennessee’s own Circus No. 9 blurs the lines between bluegrass, jazz, and rock. The electrifying performances of The Travelin’ McCourys and Circus No. 9 are not to be missed!”

Summer Sessions is a free concert series for the community featuring bluegrass and American bands from throughout the region. 

All concerts are free to the public and hosted from 6-9 p.m. at the outdoor pavilion at Alvin K. Bissell Park in Oak Ridge, located at 1401 Oak Ridge Turnpike. The community is invited to bring their lawn chairs and their friends and family for an evening of free Americana roots music, the press release said. Local food truck vendors and Oak Ridge’s own Crafter’s Brew will be on-site, the release said.

Future concerts will be held on the following Saturdays: 

  • August 17 featuring Ricky Skaggs and Kentucky Thunder, along with Blue Moon Rising
  • September 14 featuring Molly Tuttle and the Alex Leach Band

You can stay informed about performances and weather-related cancellations by following the credit union on its Facebook page or visiting ornlfcu.com/summer-sessions.
