I met Trace Hoover several years back and it took a few minutes of conversation to put together that he was the frontman of the band Loose Leaves, one of the region's finer original music sources over the last decade. He seemed pretty reserved and quiet and I didn't picture him as the guy I had seen onstage a few days prior — but then he started talking about music and his entire persona changed. kA 4=2DDlQA`QmkDA2?

Billy Crawford has been a mainstay on the regional music scene since I can remember; a name synonymous with blues music and virtuoso guitar, derived from years of touring and recording with some of the best names in blues. His work with Deborah Coleman put him on the map nationally and his further work with Wallace Coleman and Long John Hunter cemented his status as a top-notch blues sideman.

Ella Patrick grew up in Western North Carolina, singing gospel songs in church and playing the fiddle and guitar. As she grew up, she also grew musically, studying old time music in school at Warren Wilson and eventually making her way to East Tennessee. Here, she found a home amongst the music community and currently works at the Birthplace of Country Music Museum as the assistant producer of WBCM — Radio Bristol.

Doug Callebs is one of those guys you can’t help but like. He’s talented, outgoing, exceedingly agreeable and overly supportive — he’s one of those guys who wants to see those around him succeed and do well. So, I was happy to see that his decades-long gathering of good friends and fine musicians, Ro-sham-bo, put out an album this past year, "Distance." I was even happier hearing how good it was.

When I first stared playing music in the Tri-Cities, I was a college student driving over from Wise County every weekend. On those trips, I would ask who I should try to see on a night off and I heard one name suggested more than most - HB Beverly. I was told that if you wanted to know about the local scene, experience the local scene, or see one of the best musicians on the local scene, HB was a great place to start.

I first saw Roxanne McDaniel when she played bass with a local band at the Willow Tree several years ago and I took her for a bass player. But, as always, that begs the question: “is anyone really just a bass player?” She is not. She is a dulcimer player. And a guitarist. And a teacher. Originally from Tazewell, Tennessee, McDaniel moved to Johnson City to attend ETSU and has become a part of the musical fabric of the regional scene, playing with loads of fine musicians on stages large and small.
