Brand New Strings on WDVX
Brand New Strings, fresh off their win in the SPBGMA band championship earlier this month, will perform live tomorrow (2/28) on a special Saturday edition of Blue Plate Special on WDVX.
The band consists of Randall Massengill on guitar, Mike Ramsey on mandolin, Tim Tipton on bass, Stuart Wyrick on banjo and Matt Leadbetter on resonator guitar. They are currently at work on a debut CD, and audio for two new songs can be heard on their web site or MySpace page.
The shows airs at noon (EST), broadcast from Knoxville at 102.9 FM, and live worldwide via audio streaming.
The Grassabilies will also appear on Saturday’s program.
