The Grascals to Perform Music City July 4th: Let Freedom Sing!

Nashville, TN (Top40 Charts/ Rounder Records) - Get back to your roots this 4th of July and get down to some bluegrass as we gear up for an incredible evening with The Grascals at 4:00pm at the NowPlayingNashville.com First Stage. What better way to celebrate America's birthday than in Red, White and Bluegrass style!

The Grascals' newest member and the band's first ever Grasgal, banjo player of the year Kristen Scott Benson notes, "Bluegrass music embodies many of the same elements that the 4th of July represents: family, patriotism, and an underlying gratefulness to people that have served our country. The two really pair together nicely and the Grascals are happy to be a part of a celebration that honors these admirable values."

This year's festivities will begin at noon with the free Family Fun Zone, presented by Coke featuring fun inflatables. Pre-show live music will take place from 3-6pm on the NowPlayingNashville.com First Stage, featuring The Grascals at 4:00pm.

The official main stage concert will kick off at 7pm with the Fisk Jubilee Singers and the Nashville Symphony performing the National Anthem followed by a special patriotic salute by Mayor Karl Dean, Barry Scott and the Nashville Symphony. Wynonna and The Gabe Dixon Band will continue through the night, performing for the masses. The evening will conclude with Nashville's infamous 4th of July fireworks dancing in the night sky to the rhythm of the Nashville Symphony. Hailed as one of the best fireworks displays in the nation, this annual event attracts more than 100,000
