The Tennessee Sheiks

Description

The Tennessee Sheiks are a Knoxville-based band who perform an eclectic blend of jazz, swing & blues. Last year at about this time, we finally got the Tennessee Sheiks into Barking Legs after years in the planning. Don Cassell—known and loved locally as the longstanding mandolinist of the Dismembered Tennesseeans—gets the bulk of the credit for making the logistics of coordinating a nine piece band work.. It was a great evening in 2023, and we know this will be special.

It is hard to categorize the Tennessee Sheiks. Collectively, the band represents the diversity of American roots music. Each player is expert in his or her instrument as well as several being music composers. Energy and fun-loving style shows in the Swing, Bluegrass, Blues, Alt-country, Jazz, or original material they play. The exchange and synergy that music generates make it a joy to hear them perform.

Nancy Brennan Strange's effervescent vocals, Brent Thompson's marvelous and unique vocal style, masterful instrumentals, instrumental solos that make you want more, and a really big sound, all add up to a musical treat.

The 2023 Tennessee Sheiks are: Don Cassell - mandolin, guitar, dobro, and vocals; Nancy Brennan Strange - vocals, guitar; Don Wood, guitar, lap steel guitar; Barry "Po" Hannah - guitars; Michael Crawley - blues harp, vocals; Marcus Shirley - piano/keyboards; Will Ross - bass; Nicholas Cassell - drums, percussion; Brent Thompson - vocals, guitar
