The Lonetones

A popular Knoxville, Tennessee band, The Lonetones have garnered regional and national attention for their unique style, literate songwriting, inspiring live shows and fine recordings. The band's instrumentation looks that of a bluegrass or old-time string band. But that's not exactly it. The songs at times sound ancient and worn. But there's more to it than a simple rehashing of the past. Influenced heavily by more modern sounds from rock, the folk revival, singer-songwriters, alternative country and even emo, the band plays their own kind of original mountain music.

Tim Lee 3

Melding a variety of influences, Tim Lee 3 hits on a swampy, rock and blues-infused sound.

From Paper Thin - January '08:
" Tim Lee, lead singer/guitarist for the Tim Lee 3, is an institution. Whether or not he likes being deemed that, we're not really sure. Hell, the man's played on around fifty+ albums. If that's not something, we truly don't know what is. Along with his wife, Susan Bauer Lee, on bass and vocals, and Rodney Cash on drums, Tim has culled together a trifecta of noisy clatter, and powerful rock 'n roll."

Phil Pollard and the Band of Humans

The Band of Humans is on a mission to bring Literature to Humanity through music. Through vibraphone, drums, bass, drums, and guitar - through keyboards, flute, and tympani - and through trombone, baritone, and ukelele - and also through flexitone - this band brings poems, lyrics, addresses, and epistles to fine folk. It is fun. The music blows one’s head away, so that it can travel straight to one’s essence. It’s not smooth jazz. "We don’t try to make people question what their lives are about; we try to make them question whether or not they even exist," thought Pollard during a recent rehearsal.

The Lonesome Coyotes

"The Lonesome Coyotes [are] Knoxville’s premier purveyors of face-down-in-the-parking-lot, barbed wire-around-your-heart honky-tonk music..."

Jack Rentfro

"The Lonesome Coyotes did something strange to Knoxvillians in the 70s, and the town never quite forgot...The band's 2005 release 'Just Like New' reflects as much. Not only can they still rock and still swing, but they've expanded to embrace a broader range of sound, adding more blues, and really stretching out the percussion...[And] there's still the strange and wonderful energy that keeps so many personalities in step."
