Farm & Fun Time featuring Rodney Crowell
The Birthplace of Country Music is proud to present a very special filming of Radio Bristol’s Farm and Fun Time live from the Paramount Bristol stage. This live broadcast features singer/songwriter and country legend Rodney Crowell, bluegrass legends Rob Ickes and Trey Hensley, and the Farm and Fun Time house band Bill and The Belles on a NEW DATE – OCTOBER 19, 2023!
RODNEY CROWELL
Rodney Crowell is the songwriter’s songwriter and an icon among giants. Native Texan, Crowell is a multi-Grammy Award-winning troubadour with fifteen number one hits. Over the course of his career, Crowell has gracefully blended his own mainstream success as an artist with a prolific catalog of songs cut by the likes of Emmylou Harris, Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Keith Urban and more, making him a master among his peers.
ROB ICKES & TREY HENSLEY
Take a 15-time IBMA (International Bluegrass Music Association) Dobro Player of the Year and a Tennessee-born guitar prodigy who made his Grand Ole Opry debut at the age of 11, and you have Rob Ickes and Trey Hensley, a powerhouse acoustic duo that has electrified the acoustic music scene.Known for their white-hot picking, stone country vocals with soul and world class live musicianship, Ickes and Hensley meld together blues, bluegrass, country, rock and other string band music of all kinds to form a signature blend of music that defies restrictions of genre. They are equally at home on stages of prestigious performing arts centers, theatres and the Grand Ole Opry as they are on Americana, jamgrass, bluegrass and jam band festivals.
