  • The Naughty Knotts
    Listen | About
    Organically formed from the red clay dirt of Eastern Tennessee! "From the living room to the stage, the Naughty Knots, comprised of Sarah Pirkle of Jeff Barbra and Sarah Pirkle and the Maid Rite String Band, Trisha Gene Brady of herself, and Griffin Cavender of Cherohala, are a sassy new group of native east Tennessee girls hell bent on singin' your socks off! Playing both traditional and contemporary acoustic music, these ladies are turning heads in the Knoxville scene with their instruments and sweet mountain harmonies. And they can all cook too! They're down-home sugar and spice, and you'll find it real nice!"
     
  • Sisters of the Silver Sage
    Listen | About
    Three sisters, Donna, Rhonda and Janet love to sing the songs of the Old West. A few years ago they started a musical journey that has resulted in a unique Western sound that is reminiscent of the Sons of the Pioneers. From their 2-steppin' western swing to the mournful minor key ballads you will enjoy the ultimate easy-listening experience!
