Put on your dancing shoes and get ready to hit these live music venues in Gatlinburg! With country, bluegrass, rock, and pop, these hotspots are ready to entertain you seven days a week.
1. OLE RED
Dine, dance, and catch up-and-coming country singers and bands at Ole Red, country singer Blake Shelton’s honky tonk. Acts take the stage from opening until closing, nearly every day. Look for extras like line dancing lessons and holiday patio parties.
2. JASON ALDEAN’S KITCHEN & ROOFTOP BAR
Aldean brought his signature recipes for down-home food and great music to Gatlinburg a few years back. Now you can hear country acts daily in the rooftop bar and weekly at WannaB’s, a karaoke and live music bar tucked inside the restaurant.
3. SHAMROCK PUB
Two stages both host bands seven nights a week at this lively Irish pub. Whether you love pop hits, country songs, or rock, you’ll find your music here. The downstairs pub and rooftop bar both serve hearty, hot food and plenty of beers, cocktails, bombs and shots. Feel like doing some singing? Grab a mic! Shamrock hosts karaoke every night at 8!
4. OLE SMOKY MOONSHINE DISTILLERY
Sip Tennessee moonshine while you tap your toes to bluegrass music at The Holler, Ole Smoky’s Gatlinburg location. Local artists play on the central stage all day long in this family-friendly distillery. Ole Smoky creates flavored moonshines and whiskeys, and offers tours and tastings.
5. TOM & EARL’S BACK ALLEY GRILL
While this laid-back grill dishes up tasty food, house musician Denver Evans serves up fresh tunes! Evans spent years touring with country bands, but chose to come home to Tennessee to keep making music. You can hear him on weekday afternoons while you dig into the grill’s classic bar food, burgers and wraps.
6. SUGARLANDS DISTILLING CO.
When Friday or Saturday night rolls around, head for the distillery’s Back Porch Cocktail Bar. Order a drink or three, and listen to live music. You might hear Appalachian country blues, roots music, or country. While you’re here, try a moonshine tasting or pick up some whiskey to take back to your Gatlinburg cabin.
