The third day picked up right where Friday left off. As many festival-goers attempted to recover and conserve energy at the halfway point, big names such as Norah Jones and Jimmy Cliff performed early in the Tennessee sun. Norah Jones was very impressive here mixing up her set list with a variety of genres and some clever covers (The Kinks’ “Stranger” was especially good). Immediately afterwards The Avett Brothers took the same stage and day three was off to a great start.
