- Hidden deep beneath the Cumberland Mountains in Grundy County, Tennessee, lies one of the world's most magical musical adventures.

The Caverns Sessions.

Three million years in the making.

Pure acoustics offer music from the heart of the American experience.

Center stage and deep inside the mountain.

This time, welcoming, Jesse Roper.

♪ She got a hold on me ♪ ♪ She got a grip like a vice on my heart - It's deep down sound in The Caverns.

I love all this tie-dye.

I haven't seen so much tie-dye in one place in a long time.

I live in Victoria, BC up in Canada, and they don't wear nearly enough tie-dye up in there.

I'm gonna tell them.

Huh, it's nice.

It's refreshing.

I stopped my, wearing my tie-dyes 'cause I felt out of place.

But amongst you people, I'm gonna have to go buy a tie-dye if there's a tie-dye seller.

Blend in a little.
