The “Southern Gap Sessions” music events resume next week, featuring Cody Kennedy of Grundy on Thursday, November 17 at 6 p.m. at the Southern Gap Visitor Center.
The visitor center is located at 1124 Chipping Sparrow Road, Grundy.

Kennedy is no stranger to Southern Gap, having performed several times at gap events including at Southern Gap Elk Fest and this past summer, at Southern Gap Mountain Mayhem. During Thursday night’s performance, Kennedy will perform some original music as well as covers of a number of favorites. Kennedy’s music is described as a mix of country meets rock and his voice is described as reminiscent of country music performer Chris Stapleton.
