Pack the car with people for Owl's Hill concerts
Brentwood Home Page news reports
The Music in the Meadow summer concert series returns to Owl’s Hill Nature Sanctuary for a second year. It kicks off June 25 and will feature a stellar lineup of some of Music City’s most popular singers and songwriters. 

“It’s a great opportunity to come out and take a hike, visit with the owls, have a picnic with family and friends, and hear some wonderful music in the middle of nature,” Executive Director Margaret Cameron said. “Everyone who attended last summer really enjoyed it, so we expect the series passes and individual tickets to go fast this year.” 

Barbara Bailey Hutchinson will help kick off this year's Music in the Meadow on June 25.

Onsite parking is limited, so tickets are being sold by the car; guests are encouraged to pile their friends in the backseat and pack plenty of quilts and lawn chairs. Concert patrons can bring their favorite foods and beverages and enjoy a relaxing picnic on the lawn – concessions will not be sold at the event. Limiting the number of tickets sold not only lessens the impact on the sanctuary, but also creates a more intimate setting for the performances. 

A three-concert series pass is $200, while single concert tickets are $75. Each ticket covers one car carrying up to six people. The combo ticket covers one car carrying up to six people for each concert. Tickets can be purchased by telephone or online, at (615) 370-4672 or www.owlshills.org. Space is limited, and tickets will not be sold at the gate.

Gates will open at 5:30 p.m., with music starting at 7 p.m. 

The June 25 concert features well-known performers Barbara Bailey Hutchison and Gene Cotton, while July 30 will feature longtime Music City favorite Tom Kimmel and the Waymores, featuring Sally Barris and Don Henry. The series closes out Aug. 27 with a reunion of The Crows – Keith Miles, Jack Sundrud and Sue Braswell – with special guest Michael Kelsh.

Proceeds from Music in the Meadow help support the sanctuary’s live non-releasable owl exhibits, which are used for educational purposes, and conservation programs in place to manage a wide variety of native plant and animal life, including old-growth trees, cedar glades, wildflowers, butterflies, amphibians and Eastern Bluebirds.
