Scott Miller w/ Tin Roof Echo

Singer-Songwriter / Farmer / Malapert
Recently inducted to the East Tennessee Writers Hall of Fame, fiery roots-rock singer/songwriter SCOTT MILLER returned to his native Virginia to tend the family farm while continuing to release and perform new music informed by that rural area, history, and Appalachia. “[Miller combines] the emotional honesty and intelligence of a singer/songwriter with the swagger and enthusiasm of a rock & roller… a gifted and eclectic solo artist.” (AllMusic.com) Recently on tour with Patty Griffin, Robbie Fulks, Paul Thorn, Robin & Linda Williams, and American Aquarium.

Asheville-based singer-songwriter Joe Hooten, originally from Macon, Georgia, leads Tin Roof Echo—a project rooted in introspective songwriting, melodic grit, and a DIY spirit. Since his 2014 debut The Original Plan, he’s released seven albums blending indie rock and alt-country with a raw, lived-in feel.

His latest release, Flowers Falling, was recorded with producer Kevin Boggs and mastered by John Keane (R.E.M., Indigo Girls), featuring members of Steep Canyon Rangers and Drive-By Truckers. The result is a warm, country-leaning record with understated punch.

Hooten has played everything from festivals like Enofest and Finsterfest to venues like the Grey Eagle and the Orange Peel, sharing bills with Scott Miller, Kenny Roby, Freedy Johnston, David Childers, Pylon Reenactment Society, Agent Orange, and Soul Asylum.
