CLARKSVILLE, TN – Downtown @ Sundown will feature local artists Emmalee and Nightmasters for this week’s concert at 7 p.m. on May 21 at the Downtown Commons.
Friday evening will open with Emmalee, who was part of Kelly Clarkson’s team on The Voice in 2020. Her debut single, “Fearless”, captures the heart of her love for pop music while simultaneously conveying a message of hope and empowerment. “Find Your Fire” showcases the singer’s edgier side, and her song, “Cover”, reveals the vulnerability she possesses in her songwriting.
A well-known local favorite, Nightmasters is a blues band that covers the entire spectrum of blues from traditional to progressive, along with Southern rock, rock, funk, pop and a select dab of country. Nightmasters is a brotherhood of seasoned, multi-talented performers. The group has performed at middle Tennessee and northern Kentucky events like Rivers and Spires, Pickin’ on the Porch, the Franklin Wine Festival and Red, White and Brewfest.
Local food trucks will also be set up before and during the shows. Chick’nCone, Driving You Donuts, Burgasm and Kadi’s Tacos & More are all expected to be on site. Additionally, beer and other beverages will be for sale with all proceeds benefiting the United Way of the Greater Clarksville Region.
“We estimated about 2,000 attendees at our last concert with Parmalee,” said Downtown Commons Event Manager Elizabeth Quinton. “I hope the community will come out and show the same amount of love and support for our local talent. We are very excited to host two talented acts as another way to support Hunt and Shop Local Clarksville Week.”
Main Street will be blocked off between Second and Third streets beginning at 4:30 p.m. to make room for the food trucks.
Downtown @ Sundown Concerts are free and open to the public and take place the first and third Fridays of each month through October. Chairs and blankets are welcome; however, pets, coolers, smoking, vaping or outside alcohol will not be allowed on site.
