Featuring the pioneering slide work of Billy Cardine alongside the luminous\, tightly interwoven harmonies of Anya Hinkle and Mary Lucey\, the trio creates music shaped not by genre boundaries but by decades of listening\, travel\, and shared experience. \n\n\n\nHEADLINER: Only Nashville could give birth to a band like the SteelDrivers: a group of seasoned veterans –each distinguished in his or her own right\, each valued in the town’s commercial community –who are seizing an opportunity to follow their hearts to their souls’ reward. In doing so\, they are braiding their bluegrass roots with new threads of their own design\, bringing together country\, soul\, blues\, and other contemporary influences to create an unapologetic hybrid that is old as the hills but fresh as the morning dew. This is new music with the old feeling. SteelDrivers fan Vince Gill describes the band’s fusion as simply “an incredible combination.” Specializing in a unique mix of what might be called bluegrass soul\, the SteelDrivers have become one of the biggest names in progressive bluegrass after making their debut in 2005. \n\n\n\nLime Kiln Theater is a non-profit organization that enriches the community’s culture by producing and presenting the arts in our unique historic spaces.

For the Garrett Boys\, a family trio from Overton County in east Tennessee\, their history just happens to lend itself to some excellent Appalachian folk music. \n\n\n\nHEADLINER: Dan Tyminski was six years old when his parents began taking him to fiddle contests\, square dances\, and bluegrass festivals across New England. For a young musician who would later become one of the biggest names in modern-day bluegrass\, those early experiences were life-changing. “Watching live music always spoke to me much louder than sitting in front of my record player\,” he remembers. “I loved it. Wherever music was being played\, I wanted to go watch.
