Headlining Nightfall this week will be EmiSunshine and the Rain. From East Tennessee, EmiSunshine is a musical wizard. At 13-years-old, the musical prodigy is a vocalist, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who conjures up a storm of mountain melodies showing why she has received attention on a national level. Recently appearing on Little Big Shots, EmiSunshine has an amazing musical future in front of her.
Review for Mountain Creek House Fire:
The local opening band will be Mountain Creek House Fire who start the show at 7 p.m. Mountain Creek House Fire is an Americana duo with roots in bluegrass, classic country and folk. Pattee Wilbanks, who plays the mandolin, guitar, banjo and sings, and Robert Lovett, vocals and guitar, are sure to create a foot-tapping good time.
