A Good Natured Riot
May 31, 2011 | 0 commentsIt’s difficult to find the right words to describe A Good Natured Riot, but that dosn’t stop their legions of fans from coming out to see them. These five acoustic musicians have come from all over the map – geographically and musically – to create a truly inspired sound. Some have described their it as folk-funk. Some say it’s “ecleticgrass” infused with some jazzy soul. But all seem to agree: it’s a lot of fun.The band performs with a variety of musical instruments – from guitars and fiddles to dobro and even a washboard to add to the fun. Punctuated by tight harmonies and percussive textures, A Good Natured Riot has found a unique groove all their own. To figure out your own description, you’ll just have to experience them for yourself. Tickets are $8 at the door. Visit their website: http://www.agoodnaturedriot.com

This band promises to bring Bluegrass fans to their feet!. visit his website:http://hearttownband.com/ Tickets are $15 in advance, $20 day of show

Stephen Simmons was raised in the small town of Woodbury, Tennessee. His mother was a schoolteacher and his father held a factory job. In his family, they were the first generation that didn’t work the farm. As a songwriter, Stephen’s vision has grown to entail more than just reflections of rural America. The songs on his recordings, deal with existential realities that are familiar to country and city dwellers alike: redemption, heartbreak, hangovers and the loneliness of the road. Stephen’s records, The Superstore, Last Call, Drink Ring Jesus, Something In Between, The Blame’s On U.S., Girls and Live at Blue Highways (which were compared to everyone from Johnny Cash to Ryan Adams) combine virtuosic songcraft and...
