ELIZABETHTON â The Elizabethton Parks and Recreation Department released the schedule for this yearâs Covered Bridge Jams, and it appears the jams will be bigger than ever, with shows booked for nearly every Saturday night in which other events are not taking place on the Covered Bridge Stage.
There is also a special bluegrass event on June 12, starting at 5 p.m., called the âCovered Bridge Bluegrass Jamboree.â
The jams get started a month earlier than usual, with two kickoff concerts scheduled for May. The season gets started this Saturday, May 1, with Victor Lawson and Boogie Chillen starting at 7 p.m. The band has a broad range of styles, from classic rock, to country, oldies, blues, funk, disco and others. The band was created by singer/guitarist/bandleader Victor Lawson in 2010 and has developed a loyal following in Virginia, Tennessee, and West Virginia.
