That makes this total eclipse, which will be visible throughout Sumner County, definitely a once-in-a-lifetime event. The center line tracks directly through Triple Creek Park in Gallatin. From 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Aug. 21 in Triple Creek Park, the Gallatin TN Eclipse Encounter will offer a giant yoga class, live music with Little Feather, vendors and food.

Little Feather will perform songs from their self-titled debut album out September 29, including “Get Out of My Sunshine” and “Love Travels,” just to name a few, that are “totally” befitting the event. Rumor has it, Little Feather will do a special version of Bonnie Tyler’s 1980’s mega-hit “Total Eclipse of the Heart.” For more information, visit www.littlefeathermusic.com.
