RONNIE MILSAP AT THE GATLINBURG CONVENTION CENTER This event will take
place on Saturday, February 29, 2020 in the Mills Conference Center at
the Gatlinburg Convention Center (234 Historic Nature Trail
Gatlinburg, TN 37738). The doors will open at 7:30 PM, and the show

Ronnie Milsap, one of country music's best-loved and most successful
artists, will perform at the Gatlinburg Convention Center on Saturday,
February 29 at 8 pm as part of the state-wide celebration of the craft
that put Tennessee on the map.
The concert will be a highlight of the second annual Tennessee
Songwriter Week, a state statute organized by the Tennessee Department
of Tourist Development that designates the last full week of February
to the celebration of past and present songwriters with nearly 100
celebratory events across the state.
This year, the Tennessee Department of Tourist Development has
expanded Songwriters Week by adding open “qualifying rounds”
across the state. Winners from each qualifying round will perform in
six Tennessee Songwriters Week Showcases, including one at Ole Red in
Gatlinburg on Friday, Feb 28. More information on the six showcases,
as well as a full list of qualifying rounds, can be found at
www.tennesseesongwritersweek.com.
“Recognizing the crafts of our state – and in this case,
celebrating songwriters of the past, present and future – is near
and dear to us here in Gatlinburg, and we’re honored to take part in
this meaningful celebration,” said Marci Claude, Public Relations
Manager, Gatlinburg CVB. “Ronnie is an amazing musician that has
strongly influenced country music, and we are excited to have him
share his many talents with Gatlinburg.”
Blind since birth, Ronnie Milsap is a talented piano player,
songwriter and singer who propelled into fame in the 1970's and 1980's
for several hits, including the widely popular “Smoky Mountain
Rain,” which mentions Gatlinburg. The song was just re-released with
a duet with Dolly Parton on his newest album, The Duets. Milsap has 40
number-one country hits to his name and has won six Grammy and eight
Country Music Association Awards. He was also inducted into the
Country Music Hall of Fame in 2014.
