The Knoxville Museum of Art will conclude the spring series of Alive After Five with Milele Roots on Friday, May 18 from 6:00 to 8:30 pm.
The six-member band from Chattanooga plays reggae and ska, as well as some meringue and calypso rhythms. Along with their original material, their set lists include “off the beaten path” covers of artists such as Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Toots & The Maytals, Steel Pulse and even Bob Dylan, The Band, Neal Young, Pink Floyd, and more.
Alive After Five is a unique live music series presented on thirty or more Fridays per year in four seasonal series. The programs take place in the smoke-free, casually elegant setting of the Great Hall in the Knoxville Museum of Art. There is a live band on stage, seating at tables, two cash bars, food from area restaurants, free freshly popped popcorn, free parking, and a licensed therapeutic masseuse available. Audience members can enjoy listening to music, dancing, and browsing the museum’s art galleries.
Admission to the spring series premier of Alive After Five is $9 for general admission and $5 for museum members and college students with ID. Ages 17 and under are admitted free. Alive After Five is sponsored by Cherokee Distributing Company, East Tennessee PBS, Metro Pulse, WDVX-89.9FM, and WhatsHotKnox.com.
