Label: Billy Blue Records
In Their Words: “We thought our first single, ‘I’m Warming Up to an Old Flame,’ would set the tone for the rest of our new record — creative harmony vocals, plenty of energetic instrumental work, and an overarching theme of being inspired by the past while bringing our own ideas to the table. From the first time Tim Raybon sent us this song, we heard the potential for a song that audiences would find exciting and memorable, and we truly hope they have as much fun listening to this as we have playing it!” — Aynsley Porchak, fiddle
“With any style of music, there will always be up-and-comers to take the place of the ones before them. Unfortunately, only a few ever make it to that point. The reason, it takes an enormous amount of hard work, a great amount of talent, and dig-your-heels-in determination. The Tennessee Bluegrass Band has all of these qualities! Lincoln Mash is a phenomenal lead vocalist! Aynsley Porchak has to be one of the finest fiddle players I’ve ever heard. Lincoln Hensley’s banjo playing is reminiscent of the great Sonny Osborne and Tim Laughlin and Tyler Griffith’s harmony vocals are some of the finest. I’m very grateful they chose to record a song I wrote to release as their first single. These guys are great!” — Tim Raybon
