    Live music returns to the Cheekwood grounds from June through October, with five concerts to make your summer nights into summer memories. Situated inside the gates of one of the Top Ten Public Gardens (by Southern Living readers) and a Fodors Destination of Choice, Cheekwood offers unrivaled ambience for live music. Enjoy the crystal clear music of popular artists in the company of thousands of blooming plants.

    On July 29, don't miss Joan Baez. Joan Baez is so ingrained in the collective consciousness as the archetypal coffeehouse folksinger that it's hard to remember that unless you happened to be hanging around Harvard Square at the close of the 1950s, you never got the chance to hear her perform in an intimate room. While still a teenager, Joan Baez appeared at the Newport Folk Festival in 1959, a musical watershed that - while lacking the galvanizing electricity of Elvis' hips, the Beatles' haircuts, or Bob Dylan's ellipsis and amplification - has had just as profound and durable an influence on American and international music mores. What makes the musical revolution Joan Baez pioneered so particularly remarkable is that it occurred so quietly and with so much personal restraint, grace, and humility that, to this day, as it continues to move forward in gentle organic rhythms, it seems too much in harmony with the natural order to feel like a cataclysm.
