Bristol Gears Up for the 2025 Rhythm & Roots Reunion!

Bristol is buzzing with excitement as plans unfold for the much-anticipated 2025 Bristol Rhythm & Roots Reunion, set to rock downtown from September 19-21, 2025. This year’s festival theme, “Homegrown in the Heart of Appalachia,” is not just a catchy slogan; it’s a heartfelt celebration of the rich musical heritage that flows through this vibrant region.

Celebrating Appalachian Spirit

The festival organizers have expressed their passion for the area that gave birth to some of the most influential tunes in American history. The theme beautifully encapsulates the essence of Appalachian culture, highlighting the creativity and community that define Bristol. According to a statement released by those behind the festival, this gathering will pay tribute to the stunning landscapes and cultural vibrancy that have shaped the local music scene.

Artistic Flair

This year’s festival artwork is crafted by the talented Hank Collie, featuring mountains, lush greenery, and flowers in bloom. The centerpiece of the design is a striking flower motif, symbolizing the blossoming of Appalachian music and its deep roots in the “big bang of country music.” It’s a visual representation of how this music continues to thrive and evolve, much like the beautiful flora that fills the area.
