Tennessee Music and Arts
Home > Music and Arts

Whether you are searching for a pow-wow with drumming or bluegrass toe tapping music or a symphony, Tennessee has a music venue for you.  Clawhammer banjo music from the mountains preserved from the early Scottish and Irish settlers still rings through the hollows of Tennessee.  You might want to purchase a hand made dulcimer and learn how to play this simple lap held instrument, or take home a fine Gibson guitar made in Tennessee.  Tennesseans are all about music.  Plan your bed and breakfast vacation with some fun concerts for entertainment or bring your fiddle or harmonica and offer to put on your own concert at breakfast!  We welcome music lovers and musicians.  
Our bed and breakfast music and art trail offers workshops in learning how to play instruments, whether you are a beginner or ready to jam with the locals.  Painting the scenery of Tennessee from a mountaintop to a river or exploring with your camera or paints the great biodiversity of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park…we are welcoming our art and music lovers to the inns of Tennessee.
