UT Appalachian Strings is a student ensemble at the University of Tennessee that plays bluegrass and other music rooted in Appalachia. In the spring of 2022, UT musicology faculty and local Knoxville musician, Sean McCollough, started the ensemble with one band. By spring of 2023, one had grown to two, then two into three. There are currently five bands - four bluegrass bands and one old-time band.

Bands from UT Appalachian Strings have played for the UT Board of Trustees, UT President Randy Boyd's Donor Dinner, the College of Music Gala, The Jubilee Festival at the Laurel Theater, Mountain Makins Festival, and many other private and public events.
