Pop Filter Event of the Week: American Revival at the Byham

So what do the The Foggy Mountain Boys have to do with Sierra Hull? And where can you hear high-octane harmonies, top-notch banjo chops, and sassy grooves all on one stage? In town for one night only at Downtown's pristine Byham Theater, the nationally acclaimed American Revival concert combines authentic bluegrass, folk country and roots music with some of the most gifted performers drawing from these these American genres today.

Known for captivating fans from Colorado's Telluride Bluegrass Festival to North Carolina's Merlefest (read: a lively tribute to Doc and Merle Watson held annually at Wilkes Community College), American Revival is for old-timers and roots rookies alike.

Named 2008 Bluegrass Artist of the Year by The Roots Music Association, The Dixie Bee-Liners will takes listener into the cars, cities, trucks and towns that populate America's highways and byways, with songs from their latest 19-song release, Susanville,

Considered a rising star within the country's newest crop of bluegrass musicians, Sierra Hull first mastered the mandolin at age eight, and boasts vox and chops that have been compared to Allison Krauss and Rhonda Vincent. Dubbed the "fret wizard from central Tennesse," the talented teen just received a Presidential Award Scholarship from the prestigious Berklee College of Music.

Last but not least, leading the resurrection of old-time music, is the all-women strong Uncle Earl. Formed in 2000 by KC Groves and Jo Serrapere, the "g'Earls" have released five records, including 2007's Waterloo, Tennessee, which was produced by Led Zeppelin bassist, John Paul Jones.
