COLLEGEDALE, Tenn.

This family-friendly event is free to the public. Festivities will begin around 5 p.m., with performances by local and regional artists, followed by a solo performance by Sawyer Fredericks at 7 p.m.
“Sawyer is a true American artist, much in the vein of Simon & Garfunkel, Bob Dylan, James Taylor, Kevn Kinny and Ray Lamontagne,” says Mathew Miller, executive director of the ETSO. “He is the epitome of an Artist’s artist; his unique voice sets him apart, he delivers a strong, unmistakable folksy vibe that is warm, clean and inviting.
Sawyer Fredericks’ solo is followed by the ETSO’s 8 p.m. main event “Red, White & Blue – Music from the Heart of America,” an Americana-themed performance celebrating “the positive virtues of this great nation as well as all of the freedoms that we cherish as an independent country and free society,” Miller says.
