Racks by the Tracks Festival coming Saturday, May 17th

Uncategorized

Racks_by_the_Tracks_1

Country legend Joe Diffie, over 40 unique craft beers, and the best barbecue in the region – thats exactly what the seventh annual Racks by the Tracks Festival will be providing in Kingsport on Saturday, May 17th from noon to 11pm.

With over 10,000 people now attending each year, the popular festival is growing again. In addition to beer and ribs, the headlining artist is Grammy award winning Joe Diffie. With the release of Jason Aldeans hit 1994 earlier this year that name-checked many of Joe Diffies twelve Number One hits, the legendary singer found himself squarely back in the hearts and minds of country fans. The multi-platinum-selling artist who dominated the charts during a hot streak in the -90s has sold over 6 million albums. With chart-toppers like Pickup Man, Third Rock From the Sun, and John Deere Green, and 13 albums and over 20 Top 10 singles to his credit, Joe has little to prove at this point in his career, yet he still has a fire in his belly to make good country music.

Joe Diffie Folk Soul Revival

Kanishka Biddanda, festival founder, says We are excited to continue the tradition of great concerts at Racks by bringing an artist with one of the most successful careers in country music.  This is a cant miss concert for anyone in the region, plus it helps to raise thousands of dollars for local non-profits.

Opening for Joe Diffie will be the immensely popular band, Folk Soul Revival. Hailing from the Appalachian mountain region, Folk Soul Revival is a harmony-laden, boot stomping, rootsy Americana band.  The Virginia Tourism Board awarded FSR the Virginia Band of the Year, and readers of Virginia Living Magazine named the band among the Top Three bands in the Commonwealth of Virginia.

Also on the lineup is rising country star Matt Stillwell.  Stillwell has opened for Jason Aldean, Blake Shelton, Dierks Bentley, and Luke Bryan. Matt is also the first musician to be signed to NASCAR driver Kevin Harvicks entertainment label.

Matt Stillwell The Twang Bangers

The festival kicks off at noon with The Twang Bangers, fresh off their Bristol Motor Speedway concert.  Closing the festival will be popular blues draw Catfish Frye Band.

CRAFT BEER TASTING
This years craft beer tasting event will again be the must attend feature fans have come to wait year-round for and which lets attendees sample over 40 rare and favorite craft beers from around the world, including gluten-free beers and ciders.

Last year, everyone loved all of the uncommon beers we brought in. So, again in 2014 we searched high and low to find great, hard-to-get beers, said festival organizer James Phillips.

For those looking for an even more special experience, an exclusive high gravity beer tasting will be available. In addition, some breweries are formulating special, one-of-a-kind Racks by the Tracks Festival brews.

A big part of what makes Racks beer tasting so unique is the size of the tasting area and that half of it is indoors and half is outdoors. This gives attendees the ability to bring chairs and sit down inside the tasting area with a direct view of the concert stage.

In addition, with the large tasting area, designated driver tickets will be available for attendee friends who do not want to sample but would like to be in the tasting area.

The beer tasting, from 2-7 p.m., has sold out the past five years, so those interested should buy their tickets well in advance. Each participant receives a souvenir tasting glass.

BBQ & KIDS AREA

For those looking to enjoy great bard, the BBQ Cook-Off Competition will give attendees an opportunity to taste the best barbecue from restaurants and teams from across the region. Each attendee at the festival can cast a vote in 4 different Peoples Choice award categories.  Non-barbecue bard vendors will also be on-site.

Kids have a section dedicated to them in the free Leaping Lizards Kids Station, which feature large inflatables. Kids can also enjoy having their faces painted and other activities.
