BRIT FLOYD comes to the Tennessee Theatre on April 22, 2019, at 7:30PM.
Doors open at 6:30PM.

Brit Floyd, the world’s greatest Pink Floyd tribute show, returns in 2019 with its most ambitious and biggest production yet; a very special 40th Anniversary celebration of Pink Floyd’s iconic rock opera, ‘The Wall’.

Released in November 1979, a semi-autobiographical concept album from the mind of Pink Floyd founding member Roger Waters, 'The Wall' remains one of the biggest selling albums of all time, and a major moment in rock music history.

As well as performing highlights from The Wall, the new Brit Floyd production will include songs from Pink Floyd’s classic albums, The Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals, The Division Bell and much more.

Brit Floyd has truly become a phenomenon, widely regarded as the world's greatest live tribute to Pink Floyd. Faithfully recreating the scale and pomp of the final 1994 Division Bell tour, complete with a stunning multi-million dollar light show, large circular screen and arch plus projection, lasers, inflatables and theatrics. A Brit Floyd show really is as close as fans will get to experiencing the magnificence of the original Pink Floyd live shows. Much more than a tribute! Brit Floyd really is as good as they say - believe the hype and don’t miss it!

An empowering picture book set in the 1940s about a determined five-year-old girl who embarks on a journey to deliver milk to her neighbors in the holler. Every morning, Ernestine shouts out her window to the Great Smoky Mountains, “I’m five years old and a big girl!” When Mama asks Ernestine–who helps with chores around the farm while Papa is away at war–to carry two mason jars filled with milk to their neighbor, Ernestine isn’t sure she can do it.

Tuesday, May 21st - 7 PM - Rick Bragg w/ Ronni Lundy @ The Bijou Theatre
Join Friends of the Knox County Public Library, the Knox County Public Library, and Union Ave Books for an evening with Rick Bragg.

Each $30 ticket includes a copy of The Best Cook in the World.
Part cookbook, part memoir, The Best Cook in the World is Bragg's loving tribute to the South, his family, and his extraordinary mother. Skillet by skillet, the stories and recipes come from Bragg's ancestors, from feasts and near famine, from funerals and celebrations, and from a thousand tales of family lore as rich and as sumptuous as the dishes they inspired.
