The Covered Bridge Jams summer concert series returns for its 12th year, bringing live music to Covered Bridge Park nearly every Saturday night from June through the end of August. Presented by the Elizabethton Parks and Recreation Department, Saturday, August 22nd will showcase My New Favorites.
My New Favorites’ show showcases both originals and covers, but always in the band’s roots style. “If you’re into Appalachian music, but think an Allman Brothers song on the banjo is cool, we’re probably the band for you,” according to Westley Harris, the group’s fiddler. The band has been featured at many festivals, concert halls and music venues in Tennessee, North Carolina and Virginia and is looking forward to playing a full schedule of shows in 2026 and beyond.
The current My New Favorites members can all play in a wide variety of musical styles, and they’re all open to following each other’s creative musical impulses wherever they may lead. But regardless of the song or the musical style, they all bring a natural, happy energy to the group. Which translates into a fun time onstage.
Food trucks will be on-site to offer a variety of dining and snack options, including Tin Can Diner, The Rolling Drizzle, Sideshow Station Concessions, and The Tasty Traveler. Bring along a blanket or lawn chair and enjoy an evening of free live music. Performances will begin at 7PM.
