Buddy Miller is one of the most in-demand instrumentalists in Nashville if not the entire world. In addition to being a stellar songwriter and performer (both solo and with his talented wife Julie), Buddy has performed in Emmylou Harris' backing band, Spyboy, as well as played and recorded with Steve Earle, Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Robert Plant and Alison Krauss, and our very own host Jim Lauderdale. Jill Andrews recently released her first solo CD after building a reputation as a remarkable vocalist and songwriter with the everybodyfields, who played the very first Tennessee Shines. She returns to perform with her new band. Julia Nunes has built a huge audience through confessional folk songs and inventive covers that she's broadcast on the web, reaching out and speaking to young fans worldwide. East Tennessee's The Drunk Uncles honor and follow in the footsteps of almighty honkytonk gods like Vern Gosdin and Buck Owens.
