The celebration, “Red, White and Boom in Brentwood” will feature Tim Akers and the Smoking Section as the evening’s live music. Food trucks will begin serving food at 5pm, with music starting at 7pm and fireworks at 9pm. Admission is free thanks to our 2021 sponsors which include our title sponsor Tractor Supply Company. “As a rural lifestyle retailer, Tractor Supply is a company that values community and coming together with neighbors to celebrate shared interests,” said Mary Winn Pilkington, Senior Vice President of Investor Relations and Public Relations at Tractor Supply Company. “As someone who both lives and works in Brentwood, I am glad we are able to join again with our neighbors and enjoy the Summer Concert Series. On behalf of Tractor Supply, we hope everyone has a safe and fun weekend celebrating our nation’s birthday.”
Other sponsors include the Hill Center, Wilson Bank and Trust, the YMCA, Brentwood Academy, Shaub Construction Company, SSR, Gresham Smith, Trustcore, Zeitlin Sotheby’s, TMPartners, Reliant Bank and our media sponsor Mix 92.9. Brentwood Mayor Rhea Little said, “we thank all our sponsors, the local business community, residents, bands and City staff who make the summer concerts a success year after year. It is wonderful to return to live music for July 4th in Crockett Park this year after the COVID pandemic forced us to cancel the 2020 celebration.”
For the first time in 33 years, the City’s July 4th event will have a different band on stage. Tim Akers and the Smoking Section will move in for the Kadillacs who previously performed at the Brentwood Independence Day Celebration every year since 1987. Tim Akers and his band debuted in Brentwood at BrentFest in 2019 in celebration of the City’s 50th year of incorporation as a City. Akers, whose nick name is the “Grand Master of Funk” and his band rocked the amphitheater. His work as a studio session player has landed him on recordings for Kid Rock, Kenny Loggins, Michael McDonald (including the Platinum selling “Motown” record), Faith Hill, Keith Urban, Megadeth, Michael Bolton, Rascal Flatts, SHeDAISY, Jewel, LeAnn Rimes, Trace Adkins, Glen Campbell, Barry Manilow, and Joss Stone to name a few. The band is made up of fifteen plus musicians and it is hard to not get up and dance during their lively performance. Akers said, “we are very excited to return to Crockett Park for the 4th! We hope you join us while we play all the funkiest, danciest music you’ve ever heard! We will throw down some Earth, Wind, & Fire, Donna Summer, Chaka Khan, Stevie Wonder, and a whole lot more! Bring your dancin’ shoes because we don’t play no slow songs.” There will be a special performance of the National Anthem by Lou Galterio. Lou is known for his ‘golden voice’ and his amazing rendition of the Star-Spangled Banner. His powerful voice has led him to many opportunities to sing for the NFL, the NBA, the NHL, and Major League Baseball. Galterio has also sung in front of the President of the United States, on Monday Night Football, and for our U.S. Military and Veterans. He most recently performed at Crockett Park in 2019.

A bespectacled boy named Ralphie has an active imagination and one wish for Christmas–a Red Ryder BB Gun.

Named “Best Family Holiday Tradition” by the Nashville Scene, A Christmas Story excites the holiday spirit with sparkling wit, a heart of gold and some much-needed nostalgia.
