Check out TDawg's Back Porch Hootenanny Sept. 13-14


Larry Keel and Natural Bridge

TDawg is a South Georgia music promoter who draws excellent talent to his corner of the North Georgia woods, and he creates down-home festivals he calls Back Porch Hootenannys. He's putting on TDawg's Back Porch Hootenanny Sept. 13-14 with flatpicking phenom Larry Keel and his band Natural Bridge headlining.

TDawg has his fests at Cherokee Farm, which is up in north Georgia near the Tennessee and Alabama borders, not far from Chattanooga. Tickets for the weekend are $50 advanced, $60 at the gate, and kids 12 and under are free. Price  includes on-site camping. Daily tickets are also available. 

Here's what TDawg has to say about the lineup. And below that, I've posted the schedule. 


Larry Keel & Natural Bridge, 3-time (MerleFest) Chris Austin Songwriting Competition winner David Via &Grammy winner/Atlanta Music Hall of Fame inductee (2001)/New Grass Revival founding member Curtis Burch, Bobby Miller, and the return of the wonderfully eclectic Strung Like A Horse highlight a lineup full of high octane energy. The roots between Keel, Via & Burch run deep in the history of TDawg events, and any chance to bring together the perfect show with master flat-picker Keel and his darlin’ wife Jenny on bass, with his band of merrymen Mark Schimick on mandolin and Will Lee on banjo is ALWAYS a very special evening! There will be a lot of buddies, old & new, that will be hanging around, so look out!
