If you've never herd Hillbilly Blues at it's best then don't miss this show.

"Tales of Lust and Consumption by the B-Team Blues Band sounds a bit like my life, at least the title does. The rest of the CD is nothing but great blues music with songs like "T- Bone Shuffle" and "Love Gun" that will make you want to get up and shake your rear. One of my favorites on this CD is "Joolie" which has a zydico feel to it. I really like the B-Team Blues Band CD Tales of Lust and Consumption . . . it gets two thumbs up from the Blue Zone."

The Dirty Gov'nahs

The Dirty Gov'nahs - Voted Knoxville's Best Band
by the 2008 Metro Pulse Readers Poll
"The Dirty Guv'nahs play rock the way God intended"
(Metro Pulse, Knoxville, TN - 1/24/08) "

The Dirty Guv’nahs have quickly become the most talked about rock and roll band in East Tennessee. As a six piece, The Guv’nahs naturally grip the stage with energy; the amps are always loud, the piano barreling, and the percussion makes you feel like a revolution is taking place. The songs are tight and ageless, with hooks and a sing-a-long feel that makes you swear you’ve heard them before.

As quoted in the Knoxville News Sentinel, "(The live show) is like an old-time big-tent revival," vocalist/guitarist James Trimble describes. "People come in all bogged down from normal everyday life, and we try to get 'em' up for a bit. Then they go home rejuvenated or something like that. Who knows, maybe tomorrow they have a better day at work 'cause they danced all night the night before. That's why we play music."

Hoots and Hellmouth

"Hoots and Hellmouth opened the evening; I had never heard of them, so I wasn’t too sure what to expect. They blew me away. Their music is hard to describe, but it’s some eclectic mix of Gospel, soul, indie, blues, folk, country, and rock and roll.  The two lead singers harmonize incredibly, and the music encourages toe-tapping, hand-clapping, country-styled dancing, and jamboree styled sing-alongs.  Their set seemed to fly by, as they seamlessly blended many different genres into one exciting sound. From Philadelphia, the band had a decent audience, but I imagine they are very unknown to the rest of the world.  Do yourself a favor and see them live, it’s a great time."     from intunemusic.com reviews

World Cafe, September 12, 2007 - Not quite folk or alt-country, but more than just a rock group, Philadelphia's Hoots and Hellmouth crafts fiery, cathartic roots-rock that the band describes as "new music for old souls."

Formed in 2005 around the acoustic guitars of Sean Hoots and Andrew "Hellmouth" Gray, the two began creating a body of work that was vastly different from what either had created in the past. Often fleshing out their arrangements with organ, upright bass, drums and mandolin, Hoots and Gray saw their star begin to rise after appearances at the 2006 Philadelphia Folk Festival and last year's WXPN All About the Music festival. Blending soul, folk, country, gospel and rock with the sounds of classic Americana, Hoots and Hellmouth has, on record, lived up to the promise of its revival-like live shows — which is saying a lot.
