TRUE BLUE
June 14
True Blue is a Knoxville Tennessee based mostly-bluegrass band formed by banjo instructor, Banjo Newsletter contributor, and Mel Bay author Jack Hatfield over forty years ago. In the early years. Jack’s job as a full-time music instructor prohibited touring so he was content to perform on the East Tennessee convention circuit, local music venues, private and corporate events, and they did a stint in the 1980’s as the Dollywood bluegrass band. Having been around so long there have been many personnel changes. Notable True Blue alumni include well-known artists such as Roscoe Morgan, Richard Bennett, Paul Brewster, Clay Hess, Tim Laughlin, and Wayne Taylor. In 2023 after divesting himself from most of his other lifelong vocational obligations Jack was able to become more dedicated to his music. He made personnel changes and the band started more focused and regular practice and began introducing original material and exploring non-bluegrass music styles. They are looking forward to touring and working at more prestigious festivals and concert venues and releasing their original music.
BLUE MOTHER TUPELO
JUNE 20
Blue Mother Tupelo is comprised of Ricky & Micol (pronounced “Michael”) Anne Davis. Their life together as Blue Mother Tupelo began in Knoxville, Tennessee, as a duo in 1995 before melding into various experimental configurations, from a famous blues-rock electric quartet to a kind of acoustic-driven country blues. Chosen by 2022 Music Artist of the Year by The Southland Music Line, BMT songs & albums have charted #5 in Americana and #2 in Euro-Americana Radio, as well as having reached the U.S. Top 40 Country Charts.
