After moving from the hot sun on Market Street to a shaded location on Broad Street under the Wallace News Stand canopy, "Tennessee Border" performed several bluegrass classics finishing with Sittin' On Top Of the World. An informal multi-cultural character parade down Broad Street follows the song (at 2:03).
"Tennessee Border" is a Bluegrass/Americana band comprised of young musicians participating in the annual street-side Kingsport, Tennessee Fun Fest busking festival. Their performance was on the sidewalk of Market Street across from the State Theater and later on Broad Street in front of the historic Wallace New Stand (currently closed). "Busking Around The World" is a multi-cultural event of the annual Fun Fest in Kingsport, Tennessee held from 11 AM till 3 PM on Saturday 14 July 2018. This video is from the "Appalachian Zone" for busking and features performance of four of the six young musicians from "Tennessee Border" bluegrass band. My understanding is that all are alumni of Kingsport's Doybns-Bennett High School where the band was formed.
"Tennessee Border" recently delivered performances over a two day period at Dollywood's "BBQ and Bluegrass" festival in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee.

Audio: Zoom H4N (near band- audio added in post)
The audio recording environment was impossible from camera locations due to crowd background chatter, wind noise, and many nearby groups performing with live or recorded music. I hope the audio delivered from H4N embedded in band will satisfy most viewers.
