Bluegrass Music
Roane County's Musical Heritage
Roane County boasts a rich musical heritage, particularly in the roots Bluegrass and Gospel realm. Many musicians here have grown up playing a mandolin, bass guitar, harmonica or fiddle and families have played together for years. It is not unusual to hear live Bluegrass music in unlikely locations throughout the county. Barber shops, parks, and even the front porch of the local general store, have all been spontaneous stages for local musicians just wanting to play. Tennessee has always been known for all types of music so it is no wonder that Roane County has become known as the place for Bluegrass music.
