SUMMARY:The Kody Norris Show
DESCRIPTION:Whatever you do\, don’t call The Kody Norris Show ‘retro.’ \nWhile the reigning SPBGMA Entertainers of the Year are known for the rhinestones that shine from their lapels and the fringe that hangs from their collars seem to conjure up memories of times gone by\, The Kody Norris Show is very much directing their gaze forever forward. \nNow\, more than ever before. \nThe talented group\, made up of frontman Kody Norris\, Mary Rachel Nalley-Norris\, Charlie Lowman\, and newest member 14 year old\, ‘Jim’ Hensley\, finds themselves with a growing legion of fans craving the comfort that comes from their retro look\, but equally craving dynamic instrumentation and thought-provoking lyrics – all of which can be heard throughout their latest albums Rhinestone Revival and Highfalutin Hillbilly. \n“There is a whole chapter of country music that’s just kind of faded away\,” The Kody Norris Show’s frontman once said. “I believe The Kody Norris Show has been instrumental in bringing back some of that nostalgia and some of that classic look that country music and bluegrass music used to have all while bringing some originality to the music too.” \nThe foundations of the electrifying four-piece band can be found within the roots of Kody Norris himself\, a once inquisitive youngster from Mountain City\, Tennessee who would spend hours sitting in the passenger seat of his Uncle Jack’s Chevrolet El Camino listening to the entirety of The Stanley Brothers 16 Greatest Hits tape\, wondering if he would ever be able to match the sweet harmonies coming through the speakers. \nIt was those very harmonies that Norris also would recognize wavering through the rafters of the Baptist church he attended as a kid. There was a bluegrass quartet that would play in the Free Will Baptist Church\, and soon Norris became infatuated with the music that could materialize from a banjo and a guitar. So\, at nine years old\, he picked up the mandolin. \nAnd he never put it down. \nIt was a similar love affair of music for Mary Rachel Nalley-Norris\, who started playing classical violin in the fourth grade\, but by the fifth grade\, she knew it wasn’t for her. Instead\, in a quest to differentiate herself from her musical counterparts in her grade school orchestra\, she took up the fiddle. She began playing the festival circuit alongside the likes of the legendary Larry Sparks and the Lonesome Ramblers and soon became one of the most dynamic females on those festival stages. \nIt was on that stage she eventually met her husband Kody\, who had already gone on to play alongside the likes of Ralph Stanley\, Ralph Stanley II\, and Joe Isaacs throughout his already impressive career. \nIt was musical magic at its finest. \nIt’s this easy-going nature that became downright illuminated on 2017’s When I Get the Money Made\, which was named Bluegrass Album of the Year by the National Traditional Country Music Association. The Kody Norris Show followed it up with 2019’s All Suited Up\, which debuted at #7 on the Billboard charts on Rebel Records. With the release of Rhinestone Revival the group experienced their very own revival\, as the band found themselves sprinkling their iconic rhinestones on a few different music genres to solidify their place on the musical landscape. Even landing an exhibit in the Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Owensboro\, Kentucky. \nPlaying over a hundred dates a year across the country and around the world in countries including Australia\, Ireland\, Norway\, The Netherlands\, and more\, The Kody Norris Show has also been featured at the University of Chicago Folk Festival\, RFD-TV’s The Cumberland Highlanders Show\, The Bluegrass Trail and The Malpass Brothers Show\, TBN’s Huckabee and most recently starred on Fox&Friends Weekend. To date\, The Kody Norris Show has performed at the Grand Ole Opry multiple times\, leaving the stage with a standing auditorium. \nAnd the fans can’t get enough. \nThe four-piece\, multi-instrumentalist\, bluegrass band quickly became four of the most epic entertainers of our time. Add that to the songwriting displayed on Kody Norris-penned “Baltimore I’m Leaving\,” “Fiddler’s Rock\,” “Please Tell Me Why\,” and the infectious “Gotta Get My Baby Back” on Rhinestone Revival\, and “Ramblin’ Around”\, “Ruby Jane” from Highfalutin Hillbilly proving The Kody Norris Show is as current as ever. \nIn 2023\, While opening for “The Queen of Bluegrass\,” Rhonda Vincent at the Ryman Auditorium for Bluegrass Nights at the Ryman\, sponsored by Springer Mountain Farms\, The Kody Norris Show was surprised by Vincent with an invitation to make their Grand Ole Opry debut. \nTheir latest project\, Highfalutin Hillbilly continues to showcase the undeniable talent and featured singles “The Auctioneer\,” “Blue Ain’t The Word\,” “In The Circle\,” and more! \nThey ain’t retro. They have something different. They have something uniquely theirs. They have something that makes them stand out. \n“We want people to know who we are\,” Norris once said. \nAnd they will.

SUMMARY:Hunter Berry and His Bluegrass Band
DESCRIPTION:Hunter Berry brings the fire\, finesse\, and tradition of East Tennessee fiddling to every stage he steps onto. A longtime member of Rhonda Vincent & The Rage and one of the most respected fiddlers of his generation\, Hunter’s playing blends hard‑driving bluegrass with the soulful\, old‑time sound that shaped the music of the mountains. \nBacked by a band of seasoned bluegrass musicians who share his love for authentic\, heartfelt picking\, Hunter delivers a show filled with tight harmonies\, high‑energy instrumentals\, and the kind of classic bluegrass that feels right at home in the Carter Family Fold. Their performances honor the roots of the music while showcasing the skill\, joy\, and personality that make live bluegrass so special. \nHunter Berry & Band are proud to bring their music to the Carter Family Fold — a place where tradition lives on and great musicians carry it forward.
