The Covered Bridge Jams summer concert series returns for its 11th year, bringing live music to Covered Bridge Park nearly every Saturday night from June through the end of August. Presented by the Elizabethton Parks and Recreation Department, 6/28 will showcase Carson Peters and Iron Mountain.
Carson Peters and Iron Mountain is a high-energy, traditional bluegrass band based in the Appalachian Region of NE Tennessee, SW VA, and Eastern NC. The band is led by Carson Peters, a young music prodigy from Piney Flats, TN. He has been playing music and entertaining audiences since the ripe old age of 3! Carson has been blessed to make numerous national TV appearances including his latest as guest fiddler for Mr. Ricky Skaggs during the 52nd Annual CMA Awards. Carson is blessed to get to tour the US and Canada entertaining audiences with his band IRON MOUNTAIN; an awesome group of Christian musicians that he also calls his best buddies. Carson and the band love to play bluegrass, bluegrass gospel, and “grassed-up” vintage country. Their love for God and playing music is a contagious atmosphere and brings smiles to their audiences.
Bring along a blanket or lawn chair and enjoy an evening of free live music. Performances will begin at 7 PM. Food trucks serving this event include: Beba’s Rolling Meatball, Sideshow Station Concessions, Travelin’ Tom’s Coffee, and Yankee Doodle Doggie, or stop by Covered Bridge Creamery across the street for some Ice Cream!
