The Tri-Lakes Center for the Arts (TLCA) continues its 2010 concert series with a trip back to the days before electric music when folks stood around in the parlor and played their music on the fiddle, banjo and guitar! Sweet Sunny South is an acoustic old-timey string band that plays a unique blend of new and traditional music. The band has been making a name for itself at festivals and theaters throughout the region for the past 8 years. Sweet Sunny South represents the traditional music of greats such as The Stanley Brothers and The Carter Family while drawing influences from more contemporary bands. Banjo and mandolin player, Bill Powers, writes most of the bands’ songs, which take the listener on scenic journeys into dusty old American music. Cory Obert plays a mean old-time fiddle, sometimes with a Cajun flare and sings a solid high tenor. Rob Miller also writes songs, plays the D-28 and sings lead and harmony. Shelley Gray plays the upright Bass, sings, hollers, and puts the "Sweet" in Sweet Sunny South. Audiences can expect a highly entertaining stage show featuring rollicking fiddle tunes, soulful ballads, tight vocal harmonies and an exceptional array of original songs combined with a heavy dose of humor that keeps the crowd smiling. As an extra treat, this concert marks the release of the band's latest CD, Carried Off By a Twister. Transport yourself back to the glory days of the Grand Ole Opry and experience Sweet Sunny South dressed to a "T", weaving in and out around a single microphone presenting their style of old-time music you won't soon forget.
