PAST 2023 SHOWS…
FRIDAY August 25 — Abby Bryant & The Echoes
A music minister’s daughter turned fierce frontwoman, Abby Bryant has cemented her presence as a standout in Americana and soul with her band’s debut album Not Your Little Girl. The 13-track LP features Bryant’s raw vocal talent supported by the confident and dynamic backing group The Echoes and establishes a strong foundation for the band in the world of vintage-inspired Americana and soul rock. Her bluesy, Southern rock style draws inspiration from one of her musical heroes, Susan Tedeschi. https://www.abbybryantandtheechoes.com
FRIDAY ~ August 11 — Unspoken Tradition
Reflecting the ever-changing culture of the southern Blue Ridge, Unspoken Tradition brings a blue-grass sound that’s impassioned, nostalgic, hard-driving and sincere. Their 2019 release from Mountain Home Music Co., Myths We Tell Our Young, debuted at #5 on Billboard Bluegrass charts and has seen 5 top-charting radio singles, including a #1 for “Dark Side of the Mountain” on the Bluegrass Today Chart. The band has earned a fervent following in the Southeast, selling out shows in Asheville, NC, as well as the legendary Station Inn in Nashville, TN.
