It’s hard to stay still around these boys. They’ve got that toe-tapping, knee-slapping, boot-stomping kind of sound. Part rowdy honkytonk, part old-time pioneers, they make sound that sticks with your soul and leaves you singing barefoot into the star sky. These guys lean into the rhythms of the Ohio River Valley and look to the songs in the muddy water and the tradition it carries. To get “hustled” is to get the full-body musical experience—that head-boppin’, hip-swaying, soul-singing with the stranger next to you. It’s the kind of music that encapsulates you into a community of sound, one that becomes familiar once you hear it, like maybe, you’ve been listening to them forever.
2023 winner of the Tennessee Songwriter's competition, Ron Short opens with his Possum Playboys open at 6:30. Buffalo Wabs take the stage at 7:30. Whitesburg Farmers Market 4:30-7:00.
