“Pilgrimage truly showcases all that middle Tennessee has to offer: all genres of music, the best artisans and makers andincredible cuisine all in a family-friendly atmosphere that ends by 8:30p.m. each night,” shared Pilgrimage partner and Better Than Ezra co-founding vocalist, guitarist and songwriter Kevin Griffin. “I’m most excited for the ‘pilgri-mashups’ we’ve come to expect over the years featuring incredible collaborations such as Justin Timberlake and Chris Stapleton, Preservation Hall and Willie Nelson, Ruby Amanfu and Weezer, and Holly Williams and Sheryl Crow. With the diversity in this year’s lineup, who knows what could happen!”
