Dolly Parton. Aretha Franklin. Justin Timberlake. Tina Turner. You.
Make Music Tennessee offers all native and newcomer residents of the Volunteer State the opportunity to add their voice to Tennessee’s legendary musical legacy. On Sunday, June 21, 2026, Tennesseans will celebrate the Summer Solstice — the longest day of the year — with music, across regional chapters throughout the state.
We invite artists of all ages and genres, amateur and professional alike, to sign up to perform free concerts on June 21 in public spaces across Tennessee. Everyone is welcome — and we truly mean everyone. Even if you’ve never touched an instrument before, our local organizers will offer free music lessons and hands-on music-making opportunities just for you. And if you have a space to share — a storefront, park, porch, or sidewalk — we invite you to sign up to host musicians on June 21. Just click on your local celebration to get started!
Make Music Tennessee is presented by the Tennessee Entertainment Commission.
