Sounds like Elaeagnus ebbingii (aka Ebbing's Silverberry). It does bloom, usually at around this time of year. The blooms are not showy in the slightest (you have to look for them), but have a very nice, clove-like fragrance.

You can prune that plant whenever...

Leatherleaf viburnum is evergreen around here, but doesn't perform well in full sun, it's much more of a shade shrub.

What part of Tennessee are you in? There's a pretty big diversity in planting zones in this state (zone 5 through 8, depending on where you're at).
