| If Doc Watson, Ryan Adams, Dwight Yoakam and Maynard James Keenan were all trapped in a coal mine cave-in, Knoxville’s Medford’s Black Record Collection would likely parallel the songs they would write and sing together with their dying breaths.
Just like this, nobody gets out of a Medford’s song alive. Long time friends Matt Foster and Michael Davis’ first record, “The Flattville Murder Album” is written from the inspiration of dark and foreboding folk murder ballads and is a concept piece weaving together a continuing story told through the sounds of raw wood and an alloy of voices. Ever focused on storytelling, MBRC’s music is sweet and sorrowful, grassy and folksy, but with enough rock and roll pathos thrown in to satisfy even the most basic of sonic appetites.
Yet always, close attention is paid to the delicate beauty of all that is dark and mournful, which balances the sound into a fulfilling simplicity.
With a sound akin to such new ‘grass, folk, and country rockers as The Avett Brothers, Old Crow Medicine Show and the everybody fields, Davis and Foster are “two of the hardest working young whippersnappers in (Knoxville)” (Knoxville’s MetroPulse), self producing and releasing their first album, and playing five and six instruments apiece in their live show which is spreading throughout the southeast. Unafraid of exposing their roots while reaching for the next limb of the Americana tree, Medford’s Black Record Collection is quickly becoming a trailblazer of roots music’s new generation.
What others are saying about Medford’s Black Record Collection:
“The kind of muffled, painful moans you’d expect to overhear while hiking the Appalachian Trail…the unpolished heartfelt moans that were so good that they’ve resisted change for over a hundred years…they keep the mountain traditions alive and keep it local, reminding us of our roots.”- Molly Kincaid, MetroPulse, Knoxville, TN
“The band’s sound contains all the dank, shadowy Appalachian humidity a goth-folk historian could want for, but it’s modernized enough to where it feels more accessible than archaic.”- Leslie Wylie, MetroPulse, Knoxville, TN
“Four out of five stars…I’ve not seen an album of this type that does so well at telling a story…‘The Flattville Murder Album’ is storytelling at its best combined with fantastically put together and played music.”- Indie Matters, Charlotte, NC
“…Making music that is part of the fabric of life in this area…they truly are beginning to stand out among the others. Their approach is honest, their music is good, and their future is bright. We are proud to play their tunes.”- Benny Smith, WUTK-FM General Manager, Knoxville, TN |

| Born to a classically trained opera singer, Virginia native Brinn Black has been immersed in music since birth. Raised in the small town of Chester Virginia, Brinn grew up singing in the church, and in her high school choir. All she ever wanted to do was make music so when it came time to choose a college, the obvious choice was simple: Music City's Nashville, Tennessee. Brinn was influenced by artists such as Reba McEntire and Martina McBride, but Brinn wanted to find her own sound in the music world. She decided to major in songwriting and didn't waste any time getting down to business; writing with such writers as Doak Turner, Brandon Maddox, Julie Grower, Chrissy Wicks, Nick Donely, and David Lee Brown. When Brinn says "my life is truly blessed" she's right. At the young age of twenty she's had the amazing privilege to perform at multiple venues in Nashville, Virginia, as well as Texas. Brinn has recently finished her first self titled EP and will start her radio tour to promote the album in January. Brinn relies on a deep-seeded street team of fans and friends to promote her shows and usually has an incredible turnout for each performance. |
