Memorial Mayhem II is coming to Maryville, Tennessee! Come to The Shed at Smoky Mountain Harley-Davidson May 28-30 for a three-day weekend packed with music, motorcycles, and plenty of mayhem! Tickets to all concerts are on sale now at SMH-D.com

The party kicks off Friday night at The Shed with Mustang Sally, these girls never disappoint the crowd. On Saturday, American Daredevil Bubba Blackwell roars onto the scene for two FREE shows.

First catch a jaw-dropping stunt show at 1pm, and then at 4pm Bubba will jump over 12 cars! On Saturday night, The Shed will be shaking with Marty Stuart so be sure to get there early because this one could sell out. Finally, Sunday enjoy the Skyline Bluegrass Band during lunch at Stinker's Bar-B-Que Shack.

In addition to all that rockin' and rollin', the Harley Heroes van will also be on site all three days from 10am to 4pm. Harley-Davidson and Disabled American Veterans (DAV) team up to provide free counseling and assistance with government benefits for all veterans and their families. Stop by so they can walk you through all the services available.

Vendors open throughout the weekend include pinstriping, food, merchandise, and more. As always, Stinkers BBQ and The Shed's new grill station will also be in full swing! Celebrate your Memorial weekend Mayhem-style at SMH-D with some excellent grub, boot-stompin' music, unbelievable stunt shows, and a rockin' good time.

For more information on the Smoky Mountain Harley-Davidson family of dealerships, call (865) 977-1669 or visit SMH-D.com.
