TMMR: Where Motorcycles, Music, and the Road Come TogetherTMMR: Where Motorcycles, Music, and the Road Come Together
For riders who live for the long way around, some gatherings don’t need hype — they speak for themselves.
Tennessee Motorcycles & Music Revival is one of them.
Every May, riders and music lovers from across the country roll into Loretta Lynn’s Ranch — a legendary 3,500-acre property founded by the iconic country singer and songwriter Loretta Lynn. What began in the 1970s as her family home and creative refuge has become hallowed ground for music lovers and road warriors alike. Rolling hills, wooded trails, wide-open fields, and a creek cutting through the land — it’s terrain that feels made for engines, campfires, and nights that run long.
TMMR isn’t something you rush through. It’s a gathering you settle into, built around motorcycles, music, and the people who show up for the real thing. You wake up to bikes purring and coffee brewing in the campgrounds. Days are spent riding, watching nonstop moto action, kicking back to live music, wandering the ranch, studying hand-built machines, or grabbing a seat and taking it all in. When the sun goes down, the energy rolls on — main stage sets, late-night jams by the bonfire, and conversations with folks you just met but already feel like old friends.
The motorcycle action is woven into every corner of the weekend. A hill climb that’s equal parts chaos and skill. Track racing, drag races, games, burnouts, competitions, and group rides. Wooded trails that let you stretch a bike’s legs. The BC Moto Invitational is another standout — hand-built machines showcased barn-side, with builders from different generations and styles sharing the same space, swapping stories, answering questions, and letting the bikes speak for themselves. It’s not about trophies or trends. It’s about craftsmanship, originality, and riding what you build.
And the music isn’t background noise — it’s half the heartbeat of the weekend. Country, outlaw, rock, bluegrass, and sounds you might hear here first, long before the rest of the world catches on. Performances at TMMR are raw and up close — no distance, no pretense, just artists playing close enough to feel it. Acts like Red Clay Strays and Grace Bowers played TMMR before breaking wide, while Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top and Matt Sorum of Guns N’ Roses have taken the stage at TMMR, delivering moments you don’t get at arena shows. Located just outside Nashville, you never know who might show up — or step on stage.
TMMR was built to be different — not another cookie-cutter moto event recycling the same bands and the same DNA from event to the next. TMMR is authentic. You feel it when you arrive, like Loretta Lynn’s spirit and southern hospitality is still opening the gate.
EasyRiders has always been about real riders, real machines, and living outside the lines. Tennessee Motorcycles & Music Revival lives in that same lane — raw, unpolished, and built for people who ride their own road.
Some places still feel right. This is one of them. — we’ll see you on the Ranch in Tennessee.
May 14–17 | Loretta Lynn’s Ranch
