As an artist, philanthropist, businesswoman and human being, Dolly Parton was a guiding light for millions.

In her home state of Tennessee, you can see the full scope of her impact, tracing her journey from the Smoky Mountains to Music City and, ultimately, to becoming one of the world’s favorite people.

We’re highlighting seven stops that each tell a different piece of Parton’s incredible story. We’d recommend taking three days to see them all, but with enough cups of ambition, you could make a brisk weekend out of it.

Inspired by the nickname given to Duane Allman during his time recording in The Shoals, SkyDog Shoals is more than a festival. It’s a gathering built on the roots of a sound that changed the world.

For decades, Muscle Shoals has been a creative crossroads where artists, songwriters and musicians come together to make timeless music. From soul and R&B to rock and country, the sound born here continues to influence generations.

The music-driven destination event features **Jackson Dean, Maggie Rose, Wet Willie with Jimmy Hall, Lamont Landers, Sons of Legion** and more.

Plus, there are FREE events open to the public, including Southbound Market with more than 30 makers from 9:30 a.m.–4 p.m. Aug. 29 outside Shoals Convention Center, free public programming and a special Vine to Bar Chocolate Tasting while supplies last.

**Friday’s lineup** includes The Retrograde; Sons of Legion; Holli Mosley; Mike Farris; a FAME Gang All Star set with Scott Sharrard, Gary Nichols, Lamont Landers, Lamar Williams Jr. and Peter Levin; and Jackson Dean.

**Saturday** brings Eric Erdman and Steve Knight with Slow Burners; Bonneville; The Family featuring Angel Hacker, Bay Simpson and James LeBlanc; an Allman Tribute set with Scott Sharrard, Mike Farris, Gary Nichols, Lamar Williams Jr., Peter Levin and more; Wet Willie with Jimmy Hall; and DittyTV Concert Series alum Maggie Rose closing out the weekend with Saturday’s final performance.

Curated wellness programming and morning yoga with Valerie Thompson are also part of the weekend’s lifestyle events.

Described as a **“Cruise Ship on Land”** and set across the grounds of the Renaissance Shoals Hotel & Spa, SkyDog Shoals is designed as an immersive, all-in-one experience.

Raleigh-raised singer-songwriter Tift Merritt drew on years of touring to help turn a restored 1928 Route 1 motor lodge into an 18-room boutique retreat in the city’s Mordecai neighborhood.

“The Gables, to me, is a table set for kindred spirits, family dinners, stories of traveling, comparing notes on good things,” Merritt tells Music Roadtrip.

“It is a love song to both my hometown community and those open door days exploring cities where you know no one at all.”

Expect warm, layered rooms, a central lawn and Alcove, an indoor-outdoor neighborhood bar built for coffee, cocktails and conversation.

This week, the Seeker does Seattle.

Brought to you by Music Roadtrip: a free travel app for music fans.

We know it’s a line that’s launched a million travel pieces, but it bears repeating: Seattle is so much more than the home of grunge.

The scrappy rock scene that produced Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, and Alice in Chains will always be key to this town’s legacy, but it’s only one piece of a mighty music landscape.

Today’s Seattle offers the best of both worlds for music-minded travelers like us. You get a cool, historic music scene full of character, wrapped inside a big, diverse city with every sight and experience you could ask for.
