Sens. Blackburn and Hagerty, Robby Starbuck to Headline Senate Majority Leader Jack Johnson’s ‘Boots & Jeans BBQ’ Event

by | Oct 9, 2025

Tennessee Senate Majority Leader Jack Johnson’s (R-Franklin) 19th annual “Boots and Jeans BBQ and Beans” event will be headlined this year by U.S. Senators Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) and Bill Hagerty (R-TN), U.S. Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN-02), and conservative activist Robby Starbuck.

This year’s event will be held inside the 14,400-square ft. Liberty Hall at the Factory at Franklin on Sunday, October 19 from 4:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m.

“I am so blessed to get to celebrate Tennessee and our conservative values every year at my annual Boots & Jeans BBQ. This year, I am particularly excited that [Marsha Blackburn], [Bill Hagerty], and [Robby Starbuck] will be joining us! I can’t wait to see you there! Get your tickets today,” Johnson said.

Hagerty said he looks forward to the event, adding, “Excited to stand with Tennessee’s conservative leaders and celebrate our values.”

General admission tickets to the event are $50.

Blackburn, who has been a consistent guest over the years at Johnson’s annual “Boots and Jeans BBQ and Beans” events, will attend this year’s event not just in her capacity as the state’s incumbent U.S. senator, but also as a leading Republican candidate actively running in the 2026 Tennessee gubernatorial race.

Blackburn is supported in her bid to be Tennessee’s next governor by Johnson, who recently, on The Michael Patrick Leahy Show, praised Blackburn’s leadership during her time in the Tennessee General Assembly to stop the implementation of a state income tax.

“Excited to once again be joining…[Johnson’s] annual Boots and Jeans on October 19th! Make sure to secure your tickets below, and I can’t wait to see you all there,” Blackburn said.

Tickets for this year’s “Boots and Jeans BBQ and Beans” event can be purchased online here.
