Audio: 2009-08-14 The Big Surprise- World's Fair Park- Knoxville, TN

News seems to be slow when Justin is in between tour dates. Sometimes, it's necessary to make your own news!

I recently uploaded Justin's Big Surprise Knoxville show to Live Music Archive. The show wasn't recorded by me, but was recently uploaded to TheTradersDen.org. It's not a great recording, but it's not the worst either. It's worth checking out since it features members of The Felice Brothers, Old Crow Medicine Show, Gillian Welch, and David Rawlings. The show can be downloaded here.
