Celebration Records will bring some of its roster of musicians to downtown Smyrna on Saturday, Sept. 25 for the annual Depot Days festival, which also includes vendors, food, a classic car cruise-in, visual artists and crafts, a beer garden and more.

The upstart Middle Tennessee record label has established itself as a gathering place for promising area artists, aiming to give them the resources and opportunities they need to break out in the most competitive music city on earth.

Unlike many independent labels, Celebration Records proudly boasts a lineup of artists from a variety of genres, taking an open-arms approach to the area music scene.

That diverse spirit will be on full display at their Depot Days showcase on Sept. 25.
