This year's Bristol Rhythm & Roots Reunion drew us even deeper into the rich history of recorded music in the Tri-Cities area of Tennessee-Virginia. It's coming up on a century since Ralph Peer's 1927 Bristol Sessions introduced Jimmie Rodgers and the Carter Family to the world. The performance space inside of the The Birthplace of Country Music Museum - the cultural center dedicated to preserving and carrying the tradition forward - provided the most fitting "studio" location for us to add our own recordings to the already vast catalog.
The Teskey Brothers drew a capacity crowd to the performance space, eager to see the brothers perform in an intimate environment before enjoying their headlining festival set later that night. They came through with devastating vocal harmonies, sharing three songs from their latest record, The Winding Way. Enjoy this mini-set, and please stay tuned for more No Depression Sessions from Bristol 2025.
Big thanks to Charlene, Danielle, Leah, and the whole team at Bristol Rhythm & Roots Reunion. To June, Julia, Grace, and everybody at the Birthplace of Country Music Museum, thank you for helping to bring these sessions to life. And congratulations to Kris Truelsen and Radio Bristol on their 10th anniversary, here's to 90 more!
Setlist:
“Oceans of Emotions”

“Carry Me Home”
Personnel:
