Upcoming shows
Genres: acoustic/folk, Americana, bluegrass, country, rock
Sound description: Knoxville’s had some difficulty in pinning down MBRC’s sound. “A lot of people call us bluegrass,” Davis explains, “And there’s definitely a bluegrass shade to what we do, but we’re not strictly bluegrass.” “It’s Americana, whatever that means,” Foster offers. When pressed to define what it means to him, Foster quips, “Well, Americana is Latin for ‘not on the radio.’ That’s a direct translation.” To the contrary, MBRC is in rotation on local radio stations WDVX (102.9 and 105.9 in Knoxville) and WUTK (90.3), and even ranked on WIVK’s (107.7) most requested Americana chart.
