Tennessee River – The Alabama Tribute

Kicking off this year’s full festival line up is the red-hot Alabama tribute band,Tennessee River, commanding audiences with powerful 7-part harmonies, dynamite stage presence, and danceable classics. A perfect celebration of summer!

Playing to both large and small audiences and venues alike, even prior to their incarnation as Tennessee River, the band has consistently proven their talent and professionalism over a very broad and eclectic range of musical styles. Alex Ligertwood, front man of the 70’s super group Santana, has stated “These guys have got to be, hands down, THE most talented group of musicians I’ve ever played with that wasn’t yet signed to a major label. Your harmonies are incredible…”

Tennessee River was  formed in January of 2002 with the idea of bringing back and paying  tribute to one of the most influential and vocally dynamic country bands  of our time – Alabama.  Receiving over 150 industry awards including 8 country music  “Entertainer of the Year” honors, 2 Grammys, 2 People’s Choice Awards,  “Artist of the Decade” recognition by the Academy of Country Music,  “Country Group of the Century” honors from the RIAA, induction into the  Country Music Hall of Fame and their very own star on the “Hollywood  Walk of Fame,” there is no doubt that Alabama has become an icon in  music history. Given that kind of illustrious track record, this is why Tennessee River  was born—to spotlight an incredible band that really to this day has  never been recognized by any tribute project to the degree they should be.
