Bring 2 spoons and your tapping shoes to the Cades Cove Amphitheater for a free musical performance on June 6th.

The Great Smoky Mountains national parks' Cades Cove amphitheatre will be the place to be on Friday June 6th at 9 pm when Ellie Grace a singer, songwriter and instrumentalist who plays the mandolin, fiddle, and guitar will be performing for free along with leading a participatory portion of her musical program where you get to join in with her.

According to Cades Cove Supervisory Park Ranger Mike Maslona "Grace's performances include a compelling mix of music and dance that is strongly rooted in tradition but crosses easily into the contemporary folk realm, ranging from singing songs to playing old-time instrumentals".

Thanks to the Great Smoky Mountains Association which is sponsoring Appalachian mountain music demonstration to Park visitors this event even is free - unless you want to participle in making music in which case the cost of admission is 2 spoons per person and or a stringed instrument to play along!
