At 8:00 PM EST, we welcome back West Virginia singer-songwriter Jessie Milnes. Jesse Milnes grew up immersed in the traditional music of West Virginia. From his earliest days he knew and learned from an older generation of fiddlers, ballad singers, banjo players and more. As a teenager he began to compete in fiddle contests and play fiddle and guitar for square-dances, while also playing electric guitar in rock bands with his friends. After a short stint in Nashville with Adrienne Young’s band he played in local West Virginia bluegrass bands until his future wife, Emily Miller’s Neo-retro Country band The Sweetback Sisters began to take off. For six years Jesse was the fiddler, acoustic guitarist and one of the primary songwriters in the band as they criss-crossed the United States and forayed into the UK and Europe. After leaving the Sweetback Sisters, Jesse formed the T-mart Rounders with Kevin Chesser and Becky Hill, playing traditional Old-Time fiddle music. He also performs with his own honky-tonk band, as a duo with Emily Miller and as a solo performer on fiddle and guitar. Check him out at https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100049105544764.
At 7:30 PM EST, we welcome back Red & White! Red & White is Terry Anne Hoffmann (the red head) on vocals and Geoff White (get it?) on guitar. Terry and Geoff met as members of the 80's rock cover band Merchant Copy and found that their experiences and artistic tendencies paired well for a side hustle! Terry's poetic tendencies joined forces with Geoff's incredible musical and producing capabilities and Red & White was born! The duo performed at 3rd Street and have been playing regularly at 3rd Street and just blow us away every time! They have an eclectic taste in music that spans all genres and incorporate their own style into the covers they perform. Their originals are heartfelt and poignant. There will be something for everyone, no matter their taste! Check them out at https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61551117359231.
