221 Backyard Venue

221 Backyard Venue This is an intimate music venue in a backyard in south Knoxville where you can hear great music and get up close and personal with the artists..

Permanently closed.

We started as an idea to bring together our neighborhood for fellowship. Then from this, bore the idea of having a stage and music for everyone. Johnny and I both come from musical families and love music so it seemed fitting! So we started with a 4 x 6 stage in our backyard with some "pretties" around it. Since we had so much fun in our 2021 year, we decided, if we're going to do this thing, we n

eed a permanent stage so we did that in early 2022 and then put up a pergola over the 10 x 10 stage. We continue to make upgrades to make it more comfortable and palatable to our guests! We have lots of plans this year but there will always be something new from the year before. We choose NOT to charge guests because we want any $$ going to the artists who give of their time to entertain us on a personal level. If you want the bar scene, we are not for you. If you are an artist who is just doing another "job," we are not for you either. When you come, guest or artist, we want you to leave as part of our family network. You see, we CARE about you and want to making lasting friendships over music, fellowship oh and food, don't forget food! We are going to do food in the 2023 year. Nope, we won't charge you for this either but would just kindly ask for a donation instead. So what will you get as a guest that attends? I'm glad you asked, you will be greeted warmly, you will be fed and you will be entertained and hopefully leave saying, "I want to come back to that place again! What an awesome experience!" Check us out, watch our site for posts of upcoming artists! We have an awesome line up for 2023!!

After much discussion and prayer, it has come to the need to permanently close the venue. We have been SO blessed with those of you who have graced our stage. THANK YOU! We have had some major talent to entertain for us! It was an honor and a privilege to host you over the past 5 yrs. To our patrons, thank you for bringing your chairs and for spending time with us! I'll miss making the massive banana pudding but I'll still make it for occasions! Go see your local talent when they are out and about..support them and tip them well for honing their craft! Bless you all and thank you for 5 great yrs!!🫶🥰
