THE TRUSTY HUCKSTERS

AUGUST 22

The Trusty Hucksters come from North Carolina, New England, Florida, the far reaches of the universe, and maybe…from under your bed. They slink out, they beam down, bringing you that tasty Tango from Tartarus, that Swing Jazz from Alcatraz, and that Mambo from below. Toss in another dollar for Vaudeville from the hills and a Rock and Roll Rigamarole you won’t find at the local market.

LEE ROD AND THE HEART ATTACKERS

SEPTEMBER 6

Rodney Lee, a Native East Tennessean, has spent most of his life promoting the music community. As a promoter and booker for Barley’s of Knoxville, he helped elevate the Old City and Knoxville as an essential hub for original music. Recently, Rodney has stepped from backstage to the front of the stage, bringing a respectful approach and distinctive vocal timbre to his original songs that range from deeply personal to the spectrum of the human condition. Stylistically, Rodney is compared to troubadours like Townes Van Zant, John Prine, and Nancy Griffith, and his songs are finding an eager audience in his hometown and beyond.

Sean ‘Mack’ McDonald

SEPTEMBER 19

Sean “Mack” McDonald is a young, up-and-coming blues musician known for his traditional blues style and mastery of various blues subgenres. Born in Augusta, Georgia, he was introduced to music at a young age through church, family, and friends. He’s gained attention for his guitar skills, particularly his renditions of Robert Johnson’s “Dust My Broom.”

BIG COUNTRY’S EMPTY BOTTLE

SEPTEMBER 26

Big Country’s Empty Bottle formed with the chance meeting between guitarist & singer, Adam Petty, and guitarist, Sam McAteer, circa 2007. The two began their bluegrass pilgrimage with no more aspiration than campfire picking, but it wasn’t till they were introduced by a friend of Mr. Mandolin, Jonathan Keeney, that the idea of a band started. A few months pass by, and Keeney introduces the band to the much-needed bass man, Will Ross, and percussionist, Hunter Deacon. With Will’s thumping bass riffs and Hunter’s percussion skills, the band had the perfect rhythm section. The band’s lineup was finally complete, and they immediately acquired a small Knoxville following that seems to grow bigger every performance. The five musicians come from completely different musical backgrounds, and they seem to have found an original sound comprised of almost every style of music that also attracts an extensive range of fans.

MARBLE CITY BAND

SEPTEMBER 27

The Marble City Band combines top talent from across the Knoxville area, forming a high energy sound unlike any other. With debut performances in 2023, the much-anticipated band from East Tennessee has high hopes to make a profound impact on the local music scene.
