Friday Nights in Sewanee Angel Park continues with John Michael Hurt and the Jay Faires Band beginning at 8 p.m., tonight (Friday), July 12. Concertgoers are encouraged to bring their chairs and blankets to enjoy the music. University Avenue will be closed at 6:30 p.m.; food and drinks will be available, and local restaurants will be open.
Hurt began playing music in the 1960s at the age of twelve. From 1966 to 1976, he traveled the eastern United States as a working musician. After leaving the music scene, he performed occasionally with friends until 9/11, when he was inspired to write and perform again. He has released one progressive rock album and has another on the way.
Jay Faires released his first CD, “Huntsville City Limit,” when he was 13 years old. Now at 16, Jay has opened for artists David Allen Coe, Rhett Akins, John Anderson and Chris Cagle. He plays blues, rock, folk, reggae and bluegrass covers, and writes and performs blues and rock. Jay is a rising senior at St. Andrew’s-Sewanee School.
On July 19, Friday Nights in the Park will present The Slim Chance Band. The festivities will continue each Friday through the month of July and is made possible by the Sewanee Business Alliance and local sponsors.
