Laid Back Country Picker is returning for his second performance at Bristol Rhythm & Roots Reunion, Sept. 11-13, 2026! ⚡️🎶

Laid Back Country Picker plays good music and treats everybody right. He has played and recorded with Grammy winners. He has performed at the fabled Ryman Auditorium, Bonnaroo and Red Rocks. His show combines 70s guitar rock, honky-tonk and punk, all with hillbilly sensibility.

His band features the powerhouse drumming of his silent partner “Honey”. In her curlers and moo-moo, Honey has no time for foolishness. Laidback Country Picker attracts fans from many genres, including rockabilly, punk and metal, as well as more traditional country and rock and roll purists. He has toured the nation and can be heard regularly on Sirius Outlaw Country. Rejecting the modern for the surreal, Laid Back Country Picker and Honey deliver a unique musical experience.

The Moga Family Band is coming to State Street in Historic Downtown Bristol for their Bristol Rhythm & Roots Reunion debut, Sept. 11-13! ⚡️🎶

The Moga Family Band is a powerhouse collective blending soulful vocals, jam-band-worthy musicianship, and pop-friendly hooks. Hailed as the trailblazers of contemporary blues, this Nashville-based "chosen family" has quickly evolved from a local secret to a national force.

Featuring the dynamic talents of Sister Emme Cannon (vocals), Uncle Eric Fortaleza (bass), Brother Jake Baynes (guitar), Cousin Cav Mims (keys), Papa Dekar Justus (drums), and Baby Owen Fader (vocals/sax), the group’s individual resumes are as impressive as their collective sound; members have toured with heavyweights like Cory Wong, Victor Wooten, Keith Urban, and Lainey Wilson.

Returning for the first time since 2013, Jon Stickley Trio is headed to Bristol Rhythm & Roots Reunion, Sept. 11-13, 2026! ⚡️🎶

Jon Stickley Trio is a genre-defying and cinematic instrumental trio who’s deep grooves, innovative flatpicking and sultry-spacy violin moves the listener’s head, heart, and feet. “It’s not your father’s acoustic-guitar music, Instead Stickley’s Martin churns out a mixture of bluegrass, Chuck Berry, metal, prog, grunge, and assorted other genres—all thoroughly integrated into a personal style,” -Guitar Player Magazine.

Premier Guitar says, “Stickley’s trio… is not a traditional bluegrass group by any means… they are just nimble and ambitious enough to navigate EDM-style breakbeats as effortlessly as the old timey standard ‘Blackberry Blossom.' With inspiration ranging from Green Day to Duran Duran, Tony Rice, Nirvana, The Dead, Grisman and beyond, the Trio is making waves with their unique sound."

“In a time when a lot of instrumental music feels more like math than art, Jon Stickley Trio reminds us of the pure joy that can be created and shared through music,” -Anders Beck (Greensky BG)
