BUILD-A-BAND
A love letter to local music
Build-a-Band makes friends out of strangers where everyone falls in love with local music! Founded in 2021 by Chris Lamb as a part of the first annual Make Music Knoxville (MMK) celebration, Build-a-Band places local artists who have never collaborated before into groups that cover other local songwriters. Groups are given a month to learn songs, rehearse, and then perform in front of their peers as part of an evening long concert extravaganza! Don’t have time to devote to putting together a full set? Try Build-A-Band EXPRESS and get together with similar artists and put together a set the day of the show! It’s all the fun with extra excitement!
Build-A-Band served as a crucial part of MMK’s Summer celebrations from 2021-2023. It is currently on hiatus
