Corey Smith will play the Bud Light Stage at Riverbend on June 13.Riverbend officials have announced the remaining lineup for this year’s festival, a list that includes Corey Smith, the Family Stone, the WannaBeatles, Arpetrio, the Weeks, Cody McCarver and nearly two dozen other acts.
“I think we have a really strong lineup from top to bottom with a mix of classic favorites and new acts that maybe people aren’t as familiar with,” says talent and production coordinator Joe “Dixie” Fuller.
The headliners, who will play on the main Coca-Cola Stage, were announced earlier in the year: country singers Gary Allan and Justin Moore, jam band Widespread Panic, blues guitarist Buddy Guy, Christian singer TobyMac, classic rockers Boston and Joan Jett & the Blackhearts and indie act Young the Giant.
The Family Stone, which features original Sly & the Family Stone saxophonist Jerry Martini, trumpeter/vocalist Cynthia Robinson and drummer Greg Errico, will play on the Unum Stage on June 11. In the late ’60s and early ’70s, Sly & the Family Stone had hits such as “I Want to Take You Higher,” “Everyday People,” “Thank You Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin,” “Dance to the Music,” “Hot Fun in the Summertime,” “Family Affair” and “Sing a Simple Song.”
Corey Smith will play the Bud Light Stage on June 13. He has built a loyal following here through sold-out shows at Rhythm & Brews and Track 29. He has released seven studio albums, including last year’s live release, “Live in Chattanooga.” Fan favorites include “Twenty-One,” “If I Could Do It Again” and “I Love Everyone.”
