Union City's Discovery Park Announces Free 'Rhythm on the Rails' Summer Concert Series for 2024

Discovery Park of America in Union City, Tennessee, has announced its 2024 free summer concert series, 'Rhythm on the Rails.' The series will run from May 17 to June 28, 2024, with performances every Friday evening on the Total Tech Solutions Stage. The opening night will feature The Dryes and Olivia Faye, both known for their appearances on popular TV shows.

The concert series will also have a themed menu with food and beverages for purchase, including a cash bar. The Tennessee Arts Commission, Blue Bank Resort, and The Citizens Bank are supporting the event. The Tennessee Arts Commission aims to promote the arts and Tennessee's cultural heritage.

Lauren Jones, Discovery Park's events director, highlighted the event's increasing popularity, especially among visitors from other cities. The park's close location to three hotels makes it a desirable destination for those wanting to enjoy live music and explore the park and the Reelfoot Lake region.

Guests can bring their own seating and fishing gear, but outside food and drinks are not allowed. A new feature this year is a leveled area in front of the stage for more comfortable seating. John Watkins, Discovery Park's grounds director, stated that these changes aim to improve the concert experience, following last year's successful event that drew nearly 1,000 guests on its most popular night.

The concert series will host a variety of performers, including Hunt Pipkin and Kimberlie Helton Band, Jargon and Josh Williams, Jacob Tolliver and Cody Ray Slaughter, Sean Gasaway and The ShotGunBillys, Tyler Goodson and Ghost Town Blues Band, and Emilly McGill and The Roy Band featuring Brady Weldon. Admission to the 'Rhythm on the Rails' concert series is free, thanks to the support of Discovery Park's partners.
