Make Music Day is the global, free, play-anywhere celebration of the longest day of the year, and the South Knoxville lineup is exactly as charming as you'd hope. Start at Ijams, where the East Tennessee Bluegrass Association holds an open jam from 2 to 5 — pull up a chair, or bring an instrument and sit in.
Then head up to Sevier, where The Pink Cactus hands you the mic for live-band karaoke with Tinca Tinca from 5 to 7 — yes, you, fronting an actual band. Down the street, Fly by Night runs sets from Lu Anderson and Villaphonic into the evening.
All of it is free. Wander, listen, and sing the one song you actually know.
