The Shannon Whitworth Band will be playing at the Sheridan Opera House on July 23
They are an awesome awesome awesome soulful bluegrass band with amazing vocals and a killer dobro and pedal steel player. The guitar player, Jon Stickly has also played several years ago at the Telluride festival. They just finished a Northeast tour including the big apple, conneticut, and mass, and a few shows around home in tennessee, nc, and sc.
They are from the Asheville area and are gonna be making it big soon, so catch them while ya can at a small venue like the Sheridan and you will not be dissapointed. Trust me, this band is phenomenal. There is also a good chance they will be making a surprise appearence at Rockygrass, so stay tuned for updates…
