The Caverns Sessions, now entering its 14th season, stands as one of public television’s longest-running and most distinctive music series. Filmed live underground at The Caverns in the Grundy County, TN, town of Pelham, this season will feature tapings spread across several months, offering fans more opportunities to witness the unique energy of a live performance captured inside the acoustically rich cave environment for PBS broadcast.
Todd Mayo, owner of The Caverns and co-producer of The Caverns Sessions, explains:
“Spreading the tapings out gives more folks the opportunity to be there, and with each performance, there’s that feeling in the air—knowing it’s being captured for a nationwide PBS broadcast. When artists and fans know the cameras are rolling, something shifts. There’s a charge in the room you can’t fake. That’s the magic of it all.”
This season’s lineup features an exciting mix of legendary rock, country, and Americana icons, alongside up-and-coming artists spanning folk, blues, and experimental genres:
- Flatland Cavalry – September 21, 2024
- Violent Femmes – March 26, 2025
- Shakey Graves and Ruby Waters – May 1, 2025
- The Oak Ridge Boys – May 18, 2025
- The String Cheese Incident, Jesse Roper, Armchair Boogie, and The Headhunters – May 25, 2025
- The SteelDrivers and Bronwyn Keith-Hynes – June 1, 2025
- Buckethead – July 25, 2025
In addition to the remarkable artist lineup, this season will feature both standing-room-only and reserved seating shows, giving fans the option to choose their preferred concert experience. Standing-room shows, in particular, tend to amplify the energy and audience interaction that make these tapings even more dynamic.
As one of PBS’s longest-running music series, The Caverns Sessions continues its legacy of connecting audiences with incredible performances in a venue unlike any other. With this new taping format, the show is further elevating its place in the world of live music television.
