We have tried to find as much music as we can on our trip and this area is no exception. We have found some really good music.
Scanning the internet, World Wide Bluegrass, a radio station, I happened to chat to someone from Kingsport, who happened to be in a band (The Fall Creek Band), who happened to be having a concert on the Thursday we arrived. So we went. It was a great evening, in the local Civic Hall. Run by volunteers. Three bands, The Ball Sisters, local, nice girls, voices were a bit soft, good fiddle player. The next band was The Next Best Thing, daughters of Rhonda Vincent, nice sound, good voices. They had some very good musicians - Dobro, banjo and guitar - all good leads. Very enjoyable performnce.
Lastly The Fall Creek Band, very nice sound, phenomenal 15 year old girl on fiddle and vocals. The guy I had spoken too on the internet was her Dad. He played guitar. We had a great evening. Also got invited to a jam session on the Friday evening, went to that, enjoyed it, though everyone was really good. It is held in an old stage coach station and boat dock. We were playing in the little cabin next to The Cabin that Daniel Boone grew up in. It was a very pretty place and very historic.
