A friend of mine joined me for the Tommy Emmanuel concert that was held in March 2020. It was my first time at the Tennessee theater having heard so much about it from my friends who grew up in the Knoxville area. I have only lived here four years.

There was a even a line for the men’s room so if you’re going to a concert expect to stand in line at intermission. Overall a very delightful experience. One that is going to motivate me to go to other concerts in the near future. …

Visiting Knoxville and the historic Tennessee Theater for the first time, we saw "Fiddler on the Roof" just before New Years. Very cool venue with antique chandeliers in the lobby,and incredible ornate decorations in the theater itself. Definitely worth seeing if you're in Knoxville. "Fiddler" was excellent, too!…
