Oak Ridge, TN's Most Versatile Americana Band Hey, you got your bluegrass in my reggae!     No, you got your rock in my appalacian dirge!     Hey, it sounds great!!

Next Public Performance: Rock to Bach (as Something Scarlet) Pollard Auditorium Oak Rdige, TN Saturday January 28, 2011 4:15 pm

			Just who exactly do these people think they are?!? In short, we're an Americana band, but with less clearly defined lines than even that loose classification implies. We're a blend of bluegrass, gospel, americana, blues, reggae and folk with a bit of rock and roll attitude and jazzy poly-rhythms, sometimes all mixed together in a single song! We're a friendly bunch, so if you want to sit in with us, join us, book us, or just meet us, by all means grab a phone or write us an email! LATEST NEWS!! We realized that our music has continually shifted more towards the rock side of things and away from the acoustic/americana side, and we felt like we were doing a 'bait and switch' with our audiences. Folks would come thinking they'd be getting a straight-up bluegrass/gospel show and get electric guitars. So we decided to split ourselves into two bands. The FBB will be for the acoustic, folk, americana, bluegrass and gospel material, with a more traditional acoustic instrumentation. But for our other side, the plugged-in and rocked-up side, we created Something Scarlet. So now people will have an easier time predicting what kind of music to expect, AND we in the band are free to go fully in either direction, too. It's kind of a win-win, we think.

FrostBottomTennessee.net     A historical website by Matthew Alan Seeber Why do they call it that? - Frost Bottom     A news segment on WBIR by Jim Matheny, aired January 7, 2011.     Jim was kind enough to invite the band to perform at bit for this segment, but sadly     we weren't able to work with his schedule. Maybe next time? Hint, hint... Community Statistics and Data     Pretty much one of the generic sites, but hey, it's got a built in google map     so you don't have to type anything to see where Frost Bottom is! Info on former police officer turned writer, Richard Foschino     Richard has written at least two books now ("Mountain Revenge - The Frost Bottom Bones Case" and     "Mother's Blood") and I think perhaps a third as well, detailing his days solving cold case murders     and helping clean up corrupt law enforcement agencies in and around Anderson County.     His books can be purchased locally at Mr. Kay's in Oak Ridge.     Some day Puppy wants to write a song based on his tales!
