Red Barn Radio

If Stoll Vaughan sounds familiar - thru music, if not the name – it  might be because the Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter’s efforts have been heard, but not necessarily identified, on major motion picture and network TV series soundtracks like True Blood, Shameless, Friday Night Lights and The Office. But Stoll  hails from Lexington, Kentucky, and has been honored by his home state with the esteemed Kentucky Colonel award for public service. Since then he's stayed in Nashville and became embedded in its Americana scene, prior to hitting the road as an opening act for headliners Def Leppard and Journey in 2006 and 2007.

Bunch of Bands, Bunch of Songs!

Jangling Sparrows, headed by musical veterans Paul Edelman and  Bobby Frith, have been hailed as having a “capacity for strong songs that tell a  story and rock hard” (Glide Magazine). Of the newest album, IndiePulse says the  songs are “visionary tracks”, and that Edelman “has an amazing way of turning  words into magnifying glasses”. With stellar reviews becoming momentum, Jangling  Sparrows are landing at Red Barn Radio, so don’t miss them!

Haunting, introspective, Cypress likes to set the scene with their  voices, layering in their instruments as the song progresses. Ever since  going to school together, this trio seeks to keep their music authentic  and representative of something greater than themselves, perhaps  encapsulated by the different genres you can hear in each song they  play.

Hailed as having “wit, wisdom, and honesty” that allow him to tell  stories through music, Don Rogers has amassed a following by creating  something “uniquely Kentucky”. Joined by an all-star group of musicians  (some of whom are Red Barn Radio alum themselves), they’ll weave their  music into Roger’s stories and show us the perspective of someone who’s  lived a rural American life.

Walter DeBarr is not a man who has ever played by the rules. But when he  plays, everyone listening wants to join him. His music, influenced by  early punk and his grandmother’s gospel music, and washed in years of  whiskey, cigarettes, and rough living, carries listeners along on his  journey to redemption and love. Walter is joined by his band, featuring  Pamela Kesling, MacLean James, Cameron Miller, Steven Schumann, and J.D.  Thomas. It’s a knockout night!

A student of jazz, Will is joined by two seasoned jazz musicians: Paul Deatherage and Ryan McGillicuddy. All three of these musicians have  experience playing with many different jazz players, with Ryan taking  his jazz overseas to places like Japan, Korea; Paul playing with  orchestras, trios, and quartets; and Will playing with his peers at the  University of North Texas and with the National Young Arts Jazz program.

Sasha Colette & The Magnolias are a powerhouse group, with hand-stitched songs and an electrified sound, they'll leave you wantin' more. Headed by Sasha Colette, a talented musician who has a lot of touring experience, you know this band will be able to put on a show. A little bit of rock, a little bit of soul, this group is gonna give us something to talk about!

The Lillys are a homegrown band, consisting of veteran musician John Lilly and his two sons. Together, this trio puts their own spin on traditional country, with chemistry that is bound by family. Having played with some of the staples of country and bluegrass, John Lilly’s experience as a performer means his sons have the the country genes too. You'll love this band!
