Tickets are available today for purchase with presale code SAFESOUNDS2021, and will open up for general sale February 10.
Presented by Bud Light Seltzer, our outdoor summer concert series will bring the y'all together in a safe place to listen to live music from local and national artists. Each concert will run from 7 to 10 pm in the 4-acre Field. Doors open at 6pm.
DJ NattyHeavy is back again to emcee the series and spin during set breaks each concert! We'll have different food trucks each week and beer + wine from Drink Babe and Bud Light Seltzer.
We're limiting capacity to 10% to keep our guests safe in their VIP “Safe Sounds Squares” for each concert. A square secures 4 guests a 10 x 10 footprint on the field, separated on all sides by 8-feet. Single back lawn tickets are also available for select concerts.
This event is ticketed and 21+. We encourage you to bring your own blankets and chairs to enjoy the concert, but will need to leave dogs, children and outside food and drink at home.
We highly recommend coming before the show to enjoy a Firefly Distillery tour, tasting and cocktails.

Friday, March 19 - Sam Bush
From teen fiddle champion to groundbreaking mandolinist to universally revered “King of Telluride,” there is only one Sam Bush. The son of Kentucky reared on Bill Monroe’s bluegrass came of age in the counter-culture cyclone of the late ‘60s. In the genre’s outsiders like the Osborne Brothers and The Dillards, Bush heard the future, and by the dawn of the 1970s was leading his own New Grass Revival, driven by the power of rock-and-roll and the freedom of improvisational jazz.
Bush and his hippie co-conspirators changed the bluegrass landscape, touring with Leon Russell, winning fans at festivals across the country, including favored status at Telluride, and recording Grammy-winning songs. At the group’s peak, after taking aim at the top of the Country charts, Bush walked away. Subsequent stints with Emmylou Harris and Bela Fleck brought him well-deserved recognition, numerous awards, and the gushing respect of a whole new generation of bluegrass upstarts.
The once rebellious apprentice had become the genre’s gold-standard master. And now, for fans everywhere, the DVD documentary telling Bush’s full story, Revival: The Sam Bush Story, not only chronicles the life and career of the newgrass creator, but weaves an emotional, inspiring story about the risks and rewards of being a musical iconoclast.
