The Rivergrass Sessions premiers on Friday, August 2nd, featuring the electrifying performance of The Kody Norris Show. Hailing from Mountain City, TN, this dynamic ensemble blends traditional bluegrass sounds with modern twists, delivering a high-energy show that will have audiences tapping their feet and dancing in the aisles.
Deeply rooted in North American folk music, Norris has crafted an original performance that harkens back and tips a hat to the traditions created by Bill Monroe, Jimmy Martin’s showmanship, the Stanley Brothers’ harmonies, performances of the Grand Ole Opry and a bit of Vaudeville. Top notch picking is center stage, but humor and visual flash are part of the entertaining package. Always clad in colorful, tailored suits adorned with rhinestones, ties, classic hats and ornate boots, the band earns its moniker as a “show.” The brand is traditional, clean cut, acoustic and always entertaining.

The Rivergrass Sessions continues on its journey Friday, September 13 with The Po' Ramblin' Boys. Heralded as torchbearers of traditional bluegrass, this Grammy-nominated group from TN will captivate listeners with their heartfelt harmonies, masterful instrumentation, and authentic storytelling. Prepare to be transported to the heart of Appalachia as The Po' Ramblin' Boys take the stage.
At a time when most people feel constantly distracted by technology and barraged by the news, authenticity and straightforward honesty are paramount. There’s something about the music of The Po’ Ramblin’ Boys that cuts right through the noise of the world and speaks plainly to the soul. Formed ten years ago in the Smoky Mountains in 2014, The Po’ Ramblin’ Boys are at once exactly what you would expect and not at all what you would expect from a tattooed East Tennessee Bluegrass outfit. But they take pride in being ambassadors of their genre, and the group has brought their music from rural bluegrass festival stages to the rock clubs of Europe, with stunning results.
