Studio B Rewind Host Kim Clark says we've got a super lineup for our show this Sunday. We'll revisit a session with Matt Walsh, who has played with blues greats Bob Margolin and Hubert Sumlin. Walsh's latest album is “The Midnight Strain.” He and his band mates played songs from it, live in Studio B, on the eve of its release last year. We'll also feature a session from singer/songwriter Elise Davis, showcasing her new album “Cactus,” in our studio this past November. Studio B Rewind airs every Sunday at 7pm with your Host Kim Clark.

New album with familiar band from acoustic music mainstay

This Americana group blends folk, blues, ragtime, & rock. Or as they are described on their website, "the band nods to the revolutionary unrest of author James Baldwin, the no-holds barred disillusionment of Ernest Hemingway, and Southern Gothic malaise of Flannery O’Connor." Their tour takes them through the South this week with shows that include Asheville on Thursday, and Knoxville on Saturday.
