Unlike most festivals, here one can find these artists darting excitedly between shows alongside the dedicated fans who make the annual pilgrimage to the state capital.\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n            Big Ears 2025\u2019s lineup is especially stacked, featuring ANOHNI and the Johnsons, Beth Gibbons, esperanza spalding, Jessica Pratt, Lonnie Holley, Melvin Gibbs, Michael Hurley, Swamp Dogg, Vijay Ayer, Wadada Leo Smith, William Basinski, Yo La Tengo with Sun Ra Arkestra, and so many more icons and ascendant masters.\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n            Unfortunately, the decision between basketball and music isn\u2019t the only one the Big Ears faithful will need to make this weekend. Each year, the festival makes a valiant effort to allow its attendees to see as much music as possible. But with so many performers crammed into one long weekend, overlap is inevitable.

Sonne\u2019s innovations, on the other hand, come in the form of eerie collisions of disparate sounds and structures. On her breakthrough album, 2024\u2019s <i>Great Doubt<\/i>, she juxtaposes ambient, ethereal treble passages with hard-hitting bass and drum grooves, fusing them into oddly shaped pop formations with smooth vocal lines perched precariously on top.\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n            Luckily for festivalgoers dead set on catching both acts, the two venues are just a five-minute walk from each other.\n          <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-269202\" class=\"content_block breaker triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left video\">\n<div class=\"media_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"video_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"fluid-width-video-wrapper\" style=\"padding-top: 56.25%;\">\n<p>    <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Cass McCombs - Baby (Official Video)\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tl9PQDFwVLY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n \/\/trackYouTubeVideo('269202');\n<\/script><\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-269208\" class=\"content_block paragraph text triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"paragraph_wrapper center_align\">\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-269197\" class=\"content_block paragraph text triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<h5 class=\"headline\" style=\"margin-bottom: 30px;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Friday_Thor_Harris_vs_Dawn_Richard_Spencer_Zahn_vs_Wadada_Leo_Smith_RedKoral_Quartet_vs_Jessica_Pratt_vs_Swamp_Dogg\"><\/span>\n        Friday: Thor Harris vs. Dawn Richard &amp; Spencer Zahn vs. Wadada Leo Smith &amp; RedKoral Quartet vs. Jessica Pratt vs. Swamp Dogg<br \/>\n      <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<div class=\"paragraph_wrapper center_align\">\n<p>\n            Big Ears\u2019 most complex choose-your-own-adventure <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a> will begin in the early evening hours of its second day.

The quartet of Pat Thomas (piano), Joel Grip (bass), Antonin Gerbal (drums) and Seymour Wright (alto sax) create music in conversation with the wildly innovative compositions of jazz luminary Ahmed Abdul-Malik. Unfortunately, both of the group\u2019s sets at the festival \u2014 Friday from 9:45\u201311:00 and Saturday from 10:00\u201311:15 at Regas Square \u2014 are pitted against performances by legends in their own fields.\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n            AHNONI, whose breathtakingly resonant falsetto stands among those of the all-time greats, has been releasing heartbreaking soul music since the turn of the millennium with her ultra-tight backing band, the Johnsons. They\u2019ll play the Knoxville Civic Auditorium on Friday from 9:00\u201311:00. Then, on Saturday from 9:30\u201311 at the same venue, folk-rock scene leader and generational songwriter Waxahatchee will play her voluminous tunes.\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n            Sadly, Regas Square is far enough from the Civic Auditorium that catching \u0623\u062d\u0645\u062f [Ahmed] either night will mean missing a significant chunk of ANOHNI\u2019s or Waxahatchee\u2019s set, forcing those of us interested in all three shows to make more than one difficult decision. \n          <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-269204\" class=\"content_block breaker triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left video\">\n<div class=\"media_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"video_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"fluid-width-video-wrapper\" style=\"padding-top: 56.25%;\">\n<p>    <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Waxahatchee - &quot;Right Back to It&quot; (feat.

Beak&gt; \u2014 the trio of Geoff Barrow (Portishead), Billy Fuller (The Sensational Space Shifters) and Will Young (Moon Gangs) \u2014 have been releasing elite, krautrock-influenced electronic music since 2009, not to mention producing Anika\u2019s cult-favorite debut album in 2010. Holter has been spinning warped webs of lush experimental pop for nearly 20 years. Fans of both acts will be forced to miss one of the festival\u2019s most exciting sets.\n          <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-269205\" class=\"content_block breaker triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left video\">\n<div class=\"media_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"video_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"fluid-width-video-wrapper\" style=\"padding-top: 56.25%;\">\n<p>    <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Julia Holter - Spinning (Official Video)\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vQWtznaAIYE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n \/\/trackYouTubeVideo('269205');\n<\/script><\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-269200\" class=\"content_block paragraph text triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<h5 class=\"headline\" style=\"margin-bottom: 30px;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sunday_Mabe_Fratti_vs_Mary_Lattimore\"><\/span>\n        Sunday: Mabe Fratti vs. Mary Lattimore<br \/>\n      <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<div class=\"paragraph_wrapper center_align\">\n<p>\n            Sunday\u2019s schedule has two can\u2019t-miss midafternoon sets: Mary Lattimore, who has defied preconceptions of the harp as simply a vehicle for stately, fanciful music with her resolutely strange, ambient-leaning pieces, will play from 2:45\u20134:00 at the Bijou Theatre. And Guatemalan cellist Mabe Fratti, whose work has ranged from uninhibited experimentalism to the twisted rock figurations of her most recent album, <i>Sentir que no sabes<\/i>, will perform from 3:15\u20134:30 at Jackson Terminal. Both artists have taken their traditionally classical instruments into uncharted waters. Sadly, the distance between the Bijou and Jackson will make it hard to take in both shows.\n          <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-269206\" class=\"content_block breaker triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left video\">\n<div class=\"media_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"video_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"fluid-width-video-wrapper\" style=\"padding-top: 56.25%;\">\n<p>    <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Mabe Fratti - Enfrente (Official Video)\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WWx8AOxspUQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n \/\/trackYouTubeVideo('269206');\n<\/script><\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"author\">\n    <span><br \/>\n      By <span class=\"credit_name\">Raphael Helfand<\/span><br \/>\n  <\/span><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
