Northeast State Community College My New Favorites to perform at NE State March 2 | Northeast State Community College
Northeast State welcomes My New Favorites for a free concert on March 2 at 7 p.m. in the Ballad Health Performing Arts Center on the Blountville campus, 2425 Highway 75.
The band features a mix of honky-tonk and Appalachian music that is authentic enough for purists and progressive enough for folks who are ready to hear the Allman Bros. played on the old-time clawhammer banjo.
Led by award-winning songwriter Jeffrey Benedict, MNF roots-style music is danceable, fun-loving, and funny. They feature top-notch fiddling from virtuoso Westley Harris, and sweet vocal harmonies from bass player supreme Amy Benedict. Jason Carpenter, a one-man-band percussionist, rounds out the sound.
“I think it’s the songwriting that makes us stand out,” Carpenter said. “We do some fun covers, but it’s the original MNF tunes that people remember.”
The band has been featured at many festivals, concert halls, and music venues in Tennessee, North Carolina, and Virginia.
