B̶i̶g̶ ̶E̶a̶r̶s̶ BIG A**ES

A free D.Y.I. music festival set deep in the heart of Knoxville, Tennessee

Knoxville’s favorite counter culture music festival is back after a several-year hiatus, and I got to go! Above, you can see 20+ minutes of camcorder footage from both days, and below you can check out a ton of photos and links to some of the artists I had the pleasure of seeing perform.

First up I’d like to say, all together, it was a wonderful weekend that, for me, kicked off with my favorite band in the Knoxville area, Glad I Didn’t Get My Stupid Wish. Back in May, as they were returning from their east-coast tour, I caught them at their homecoming show at The Pilot Light. Since they’ve returned, they’ve compiled a brilliant live album from recordings they made on tour, and they even used one of my photos from that show as the cover for their album.

Anyways, let’s get right into the photos from Bi A-**es!
