Knoxville Brewers' Jam

2011 Music at the Jam!

Kelsey's Woods

Kelsey's Woods is a three-piece Americana/Roots band hailing from Chattanooga but calling Knoxville home for several years. Rooted in the traditional and true sounds of a forgotten music, Kelsey's Woods harkens back to years past when the story was the song. Combining equal parts of roots, country, folk and a little rock and roll, the all-acoustic trio boasts three-part male and female harmonies, interchangeable lead singers and all original songs speaking on themes from love, heartbreak, loss, murder, redemption, and the age old tradition of finding salvation in a whiskey glass. Kelsey's Woods hopes that you'll join them in finding a brand new take on a forgotten but yet old and familiar sound.

The Barstool Romeos

The Barstool Romeos are a honky-tonk rock & roll band from Knoxville, Tennessee. They play original music and an occasional cover in a style that screams "old school" despite the difficulty of placing the band in a specific genre. Songwriters Mike McGill and Andy Pirkle front the band, leaning heavily on their classic country and rock & roll influences. Bass player Josh Sidman has roots in classical music and bluegrass, while percussionist Manneth Webster grew up in the Caribbean playing reggae and calypso. This palette of experience, mixed with the real-life, working-man personas of each band member creates a unique sound that truly speaks to fans and critics.

The band has been plucking away for over 5 years now, with the best yet to come...

Cutthroat Shamrock

They will call the first toast and fuel the debauchery until long after last call. They strike life into tired soles and spur friendships between total strangers. They unite the wicked and amaze the innocent, and promise to leave every ear yearning for more. They hail from the land of blue smoke and white lightening, and manage to meld the traditions of Ireland, the rhythms of Appalachia and the bite of punk into every setting they invoke. They are five talents united in their passion for music, drink and mischief, and promise to destroy the burden of musical monotony. They are Cutthroat Shamrock and they are paving the way in Appalachian Celtic Punk.
