On
   Saturday , June 4
    , one of Bristol’s longest - standing music traditions returns as the Sounds of Summer Concert Series kicks off its 25
   th
    anniversary season with country super trio
   Texas Hill
    .
   Band members Craig Wayne Boyd , Adam Wakefield , and Casey James each rose to notoriety through their fan - favorite performances on The Voice and American Idol . What started from an impromptu jam session between James and Boyd , who later brought Wakefield into the musical conversation , has emerged as a perfect storm of harmony borrowing from the traditions of country , gospel , Americana , bluegrass and the blues . Texas Hill’s debut album
   Heaven Down Here
    was released in January .
   Like Texas Hill , the Sounds of Summer was born from a collection of local musicians who regularly gathered to pick and jam together in downtown Bristol . Today , more than a quarter century later , the series brings the best of country , bluegrass , southern rock and uncanny tribute acts to the Downtown Center twice each week throughout the summer .
   The celebration will begin at 7:00 PM with a special ceremony to commemorate the 25
   th
    anniversary of the series and an opening performance by local bluegrass staple Breaking Tradition . Additional details will be announced in the weeks leading up to the event . As always , admission to Sounds of Summer events is free .
   Sounds of Summer , presented by the Bristol , Tennessee Department of Parks and Recreation , is sponsored by Tennessee Hills Distillery , Eastman Credit Union , and Delta Blues BBQ .
