ORNL Federal Credit Union’s (ORNL FCU) final Summer Sessions concert is next Saturday, September 19 at the Museum of Appalachia. Singer-songwriter Shawn Camp will headline the free concert, which will also feature Verlon Thompson and Madelyn Tallent. The history museum, located at 2819 Andersonville Highway in Clinton, will host the free event starting at 6 p.m. The concert is sponsored in partnership with WDVX.
A guitar player since the age of five, Camp’s music spans across several genres, including country, Americana, bluegrass, and folk. As a teen, he learned to play the fiddle and his first job in Nashville was playing with the Osborne Brothers. A prolific songwriter, Camp co-wrote several number one hit songs, including “Two Pina Coladas” for Garth Brooks and “How Long Gone” for Brooks & Dunn. Camp has released several albums since 1993, with two singles charting on US country radio. His work as a record producer earned him Album of the Year at the 2012 Americana Music Awards for “This One’s for Him: A Tribute to Guy Clark.” In 2014, he received a Grammy for Best Folk Album for Guy Clark’s “My Favorite Picture of You.” In August 2026, Camp was inducted into the Nashville Songwriter’s Hall of Fame.
