SHEFFIELD-The definition for SLAG: noun – stony waste matter separated from metals during the smelting or refining of ore. But we have another meaning. SLAG: a place out near the Tennessee River where you can hear some great music, enjoy nature and mix and mingle with good friends.
The wait is finally over and The Slag located at 91 Furnace Rd, Sheffield, AL is ready to be Alabama’s newest destination outdoor concert venue. The Slag will be bringing people together to share great food, drinks and music. This waterfront venue is marked by and built around an iconic rock formation called the Slag.
Last week was the debut of this fun venue and the wait was worth it. Everyone who attended the two nights last week had a great time and the music was top-notch. But wait! This weekend will bring even more awesome music and the weather is expected to be great. Get your dancing shoes on, bring your lawn chair and enjoy the moonrise over the slag while enjoying a cool drink, good food and some really fine music.

When you wake up and want to put a smile on your face, you think of the songs that always manage to reach down and touch your soul the moment you hear the first note. The Marshall Tucker Band is one such group that continues to have a profound level of impact on successive generations of listeners who’ve been “Searchin’ for a Rainbow” and found it perfectly represented by this tried-and-true Southern institution over the decades. “I’ve been in tune with how music can make you feel, right from when I was first in the crib,” explains lead vocalist and bandleader Doug Gray, who’s been fronting the MTB since the very beginning. “I was born with that. And I realized it early on, back when I was a little kid and my mom and dad encouraged me to get up there and sing whatever song came on the jukebox. It got to the point where people were listening to me more than what was on the jukebox! There’s a certain gift I found I could share, whether I was in front of five people or 20,000 people. I was blessed with that ability and I’m thankful I can share with others.”
