About This Event
The Rivergrass Sessions premiers on Friday, August 2nd, featuring the electrifying performance of The Kody Norris Show. Hailing from Mountain City, TN, this dynamic ensemble blends traditional bluegrass sounds with modern twists, delivering a high-energy show that will have audiences tapping their feet and dancing in the aisles.
Deeply rooted in North American folk music, Norris has crafted an original performance that harkens back and tips a hat to the traditions created by Bill Monroe, Jimmy Martin’s showmanship, the Stanley Brothers’ harmonies, performances of the Grand Ole Opry and a bit of Vaudeville. Top notch picking is center stage, but humor and visual flash are part of the entertaining package. Always clad in colorful, tailored suits adorned with rhinestones, ties, classic hats and ornate boots, the band earns its moniker as a “show.” The brand is traditional, clean cut, acoustic and always entertaining.
