Big Ears Amplifies Knoxville’s Allure / Ribot’s Return
There’s Something Going on Here!
It’s wonderful to see Knoxville on CNN‘s list of best towns to visit in the USA and for so many of our own favorite reasons: the Tennessee Theatre, the Bijou Theatre, J.C. Holdway, Cruze Farm Ice Cream and Dairy, Ijams Nature Center, Knoxville’s Urban Wilderness, and the Historic Market Square Farmer’s Market just a few among them. Of course, we also love the shout-out to Big Ears as “undeniably Knoxville’s biggest music coup.”
