| Woodenwire is a middle Tennessee-based band with a great local following, and increasing national popularity. Their sound can be described using terms like “Outlaw, Americana, Southern, Traditional, Bluegrass, Folk, Jam, Driving, Witty, and Clever.” They know no enemies and have shared venues with bands from a wide variety of genres including Metal, Grunge, and Hip Hop. Audiences should never be surprised to see a collection of special guests at a Woodenwire show. Their up-beat groove remains the same, but because of these exciting changes in accompaniment, fans of the band (old and new) keep coming back for more. There are three founding members you can always expect to see; Travis Stock (Bass, Vocals, Harmonica), Mike Davenport (Drums), and Jed Watts (Lead Guitar, Vocals). Mike and Jed began writing, recording, and performing music together in when they met as room-mates at Middle Tennessee State. Mike had been drumming for the previous few years in the Alternative Rock band “Euforia,” based in Bristol, Virginia. Jed had played guitar in a high-school band “Sockemdog,” and with various bluegrass bands in the Northeast Georgia mountains. The two shifted through several potential band members over the next few years, making a lot of friends and co-writing partners, but they did not find the bass playing ‘glue’ to the band, Travis, until . Travis’ family in Ebensburg, Pennsylvania consists entirely of musicians who trained him in the ways of Outlaw Country, Folk, Classic Rock, and Bluegrass. Travis had spent the previous few years playing as a solo act with an acoustic guitar, but he did not hesitate to start playing bass in Woodenwire shows. The three then began writing the material that is most popular with fans today. Some of these favorites shared a co-writer named Richard Carpenter, who has been a professional drummer and singer/songwriter for decades, with hits by such artists as John Anderson, Tracy Lawerence, Tanya Tucker, Jerry Reed, and Eric Heatherly. Richard has played a valuable roll in providing professional advice and influencing the raw southern flavor of the band. Travis and Jed learned that their vocal harmonies complemented each other in unique ways and began playing off that. With two potential lead singers, the audience experiences an enriched vocal display. Beneath their lyrical abilities, their powerful stage presence, and their outstanding vocals, the band members are undeniably talented musicians. They have been used as the house band for the traveling Grand Ole’ Opry, have appeared as featured artists on a variety of albums, and record all their own parts when in the studio. In the fall of they began recording “Breaking Old Ground,” a studio album including the most popular songs from their live shows. While original in spirit, these boys also have a gift for performing covers, requested or inspired, that make dancers out of any audience. You may witness a hard-rocking Woodenwire show with distorted guitars, lap steel, and keys, or you might hear a dog-house bass, banjo, mandolin, and fiddle. Whatever the venue, whomever the crowd, Woodenwire guarantees an exciting performance and a great time to be had by all. |

| 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 |
