We are excited to announce Springer Mountain Farms as a sponsor this year! Their support over the years has really been a huge boost to the event, and we are forever grateful for their continued involvement. They are not only ambassadors of the music but also providers of some of the best chicken on the planet! Owner and founder Gus Arrandale is truly one with the music, supporting songwriters, poets, and are currently in their sixth season supporting Nashville’s The Daily & Vincent Show on RFD-TV.

TDawg Presents is honored to be able to bring the high level of talent to you that IS the Holiday Hootenanny year after year. Beginning with the first edition in 2011, the show embodied the musical energy of a living Col. Bruce Hampton and since 2017 the spirit of Col. Bruce. As the years have passed (and also prior to Bruce’s untimely departure), quite a few musicians – including drummer Yonrico Scott, jazz pianist Johnny Knapp, Hammond B-3 maestro Ike Stubblefield, wizard of percussion Count M’Butu, Gregg Allman, and the legendary Vassar Clements – have passed along to the great jam in the sky. The Holiday Hootenanny has proven to be an ideal outlet to celebrate these musical giants, and their energy weaves in and out of each show creating a concert you will never see again.

This year is no different as we have two very special mini-sets. The first is a drum/percussion jam honoring Count & Yonrico that will follow Jim Lauderdale’s set, which is now a permanent addition to the evening. The second is a tribute to our late friend and brilliant songwriter/musician Scott Warren, founding member of the band Captain Soularcat, a band that also included Holiday Hootenanny house musicians, percussionist Gaurav Malhotra and guitarist Matt Williams, as well as highly acclaimed Blackberry Smoke/Christian Bush guitarist, Benji Shanks. Gaurav & Matt will lead a three-song set that will segue way into the final set led by Rev. Jeff Mosier featuring a plethora of musicians! Expect some surprise guests to participate not only in these two unique sets but also quite a few sit-ins throughout the show. Please scroll to the bottom of this update to see a video of Captain Soularcat performing their song, Higher Mounds.
