Red Barn Radio

George is a Nashville-based fiddle player who tours as a band leader and fiddler for hire, working with artists such as Front Country, Peter Rowan, Missy Raines, and many more. Born in New Zealand but moving to Australia as a 16-year-old and winning the Australian National Bluegrass Championship three times, he's an ace on the fiddle and will blow you away!

Welcome Brit Taylor! Born in Eastern Kentucky where the famed Country Music Highway 23 slices through the mountains, Brit grew up surrounded by music – and idols – that she loved. It was a place that gave birth to her dreams and opportunities to reach them. Today, the power of her music is that it is refreshingly simple yet surprisingly complex. Always true to herself, Brit Taylor continues to tells stories which manage – whether they are dramatic, humorous or heartfelt – to be downright honest.

From the hot fire comes The Red Iron Push, the Dirty-Country-Blues  band bringing all the soul and grit a band can fit into a song. Serving  the song and bringing wine to the weary, the authentic Red Iron Push is  making their name known by shaking the status quo and bringing all the  best Country, Rock and Blues has to offer.

Red Barn Radio welcomes Darrin Hacquard. Now living in Lexington,  Kentucky, Darrin paid his dues in West Virginia-based old-time string  band The Fox Hunt, whose members went on to perform with the Hackensaw  Boys and Laura Mae Socks. An accomplished multi-instrumentalist and  songwriter, his debut solo record, "Signs and Wonders," lies somewhere  between the rough-and-tumble drunkenness of "Tonight's the Night" Neil  Young, the psychedelic bluegrass excursions of Dillard & Clark, and  fellow Ohioan David Allan Coe in his Columbia prime.

Formed in 2017, "Thomas Taylor Band" is dedicated to preserving and continuing Traditional Country Music. They focus primarily on the Honky Tonk Genre, but we have a vast catalog of material. They released their first album "Another Round" in August of 2020. The band consists of Lead Singer, Rhythm, and Lead guitar player Thomas Taylor, Don Drummer on Pedal Steel Guitar, Butch White on Drums, Alex Donahue on Bass and Backup Vocal,  and Jerry Wood on Fiddle. We are also influenced by Western Swing music- We are as country as it gets!

A group based in Louisville and Lexington, Letters of Acceptance began  years ago and has now picked up where it left off! Having released a lot  of music and toured around the region, this is an amazing band!

The Heavy Hitters are a band of young cats hungry to play. 

They're a revolving group of performers, some of whom have performed on  the Red Barn stage before! Playing Celtic music with a Bluegrass twist,  we're excited to have Croghan's Crossing on the show with us tonight!

This is a band comprised of several familiar faces in the emerging Bluegrass scene. With a style that nudges traditional to new places, this Kentucky-made Bluegrass quintet are a force to be reckoned with.

DM and the 1601's come to us as a largely acoustic trio for this  show—which suits the two guitarists just fine considering their history of playing Bluegrass music-- but DM and the 1601's also perform as a full-bore Outlaw Country operation which they'll return to with a band reconfiguration and new drummer. This weeks trio is Dustin Middleton, Jamie Stewart and Kyle Wynn.
