COVER STORY
Counterculture Chronicle
It was a wild idea and personal challenge for Jack Rentfro to corral a community’s worth of writers and musicians into documenting 40 years of Knoxville’s musical history. But that’s exactly what he did, resulting in the book, Cumberland Avenue Revisited. These selections represent the collection’s variety and reflect the line-up of this weekend’s MetroFest.
FEATURE
Protesting the RNC
Nick Corrigan catches up with 15 Knoxvillians who took their political spirit and musical instruments to join thousands of protesters at the Republican National Convention.
Citybeat
This week: Clint Casey finds this year’s Tennessee Valley Fair vastly improved by an air-conditioned Jacob Building and new carnival rides, and Paige M. Travis unveils the new Emporium Center for the Arts.
Plus: Seven Days, Meet your City, and Knoxville Found.
