Remember the “good ol’ days” when there was no TV and we all sat around the radio, being quiet so we could hear, and laughing at the jokes and listening to the music? For nearly four decades it was the radio that brought our nation together to listen to those programs. Classical music, yes – country music, yes – popular music, yes – and those new guys, the disc jockeys. Well, if you don’t remember, then this is a time to get a hint as to what was going on the radio. If you do know, then here is a chance to go down that nostalgic lane.

Tennessee Valley Theatre is a 501(C)(3) non-profit corporation. Your tax deductible donations help fund a wide variety of drama, music, and arts programs and workshops, year-round, for people of all ages. TVT presents over 20 different shows and events each year!

Late to arrive is Felix Unger who has just been separated from his wife. Fastidious, depressed and none too tense, Felix seems suicidal, but as the action unfolds Oscar becomes the one with murder on his mind when the clean-freak and the slob ultimately decide to room together with hilarious results. Directed by James C. Beam.

“The K-town Americana Show” FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
On Saturday, March 23, “The K-town Americana Show” will come rolling out of the foothills of the Smoky Mountains for a visit to the historic Tennessee Valley Theatre in Spring City. Show starts at 7:30 PM. Cost is $10.

“The K-town Americana Show” is a collaborative group of artists comprised of singer-songwriters from the ever growing Americana music scene in the greater-Knoxville area. The show is hosted by Jay Clark and features husband-wife duo Jeff Barbra & Sarah Pirkle, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Greg Horne, and the harmonious all girl trio The Naughty Knots.

Although Jay Clark (www.jayclarkmusic.com) went to college for 11.5 years and has a PhD in Wildlife Ecology, he somehow managed to trade that career for a guitar, legal pad, and some choice beverages. Jay has released four albums of his original tunes and resides on 31.5 acres in Rockford, TN, with his wife, Stacy, and their pack of rescue hounds.

Jeff Barbra and Sarah Pirkle (www.jeffandsarahonline.com) play original acoustic music that melds together bluegrass, old-time, & classic country. With Jeff on guitar and mandolin and Sarah on fiddle, this married duo from the foothills of the Smoky Mountains combine experienced voices with solid musicianship to create a new sound with an old-fashioned twist. As songwriters, their songs have been recorded by a who’s who of Americana artists including Terri Hendrix, John Starling, Dale Ann Bradley, Charlie Sizemore, and many others.

Knoxville’s Greg Horne (www.greghornemusic.com) follows the path of artists who dig deep into tradition and then find their way to a unique, unmistakable voice. In 2010, Greg released a solo album, “Basically Sane.”. An experienced teacher, Horne is the author of nine instructional books published internationally by Alfred Music Publishing.

The Naughty Knots, known for their sassy, head-turning songs and tight harmony singing, are comprised of Sarah Pirkle (songwriter/fiddler/guitar), and sisters, Griffin (Cavendar) Vann (songwriter/dobro/guitar) and Milly Cavendar (upright bass). Their music paves a diverse path through country, bluegrass, and old-time that is occasionally blended with a hint of jazz and always presented with some sass.

In July, 2011, the Von Grey Sisters appeared at the Tennessee Valley Theatre. Below is a link to their national appearance on David Letterman last month. Letterman was certainly impressed with the girls!
