Grammy award-winning artist and Grand Ole Opry member Larry Gatlin will headline the event.
“I’m just going to go listen, if there are other “other kids” I’ve got socks and t-shirts over and most of their kids, but see what else is going on. Listen to some other people’s music. I love songs,” said Gatlin.

The Paintin’ will be the artists from Arrowmont, the high school and Great Smoky Arts & Crafts Community teaming up to paint the chairs. The custom painted chairs will be auctioned off to raise funds for student art scholarships.
