Knoxville Highway country band
Birmingham UK based Knoxville Highway is a legendary country band with a big repertoire of country hits ideal for singing and dancing along to. A must for line dances, Western-themed events, festivals, parties and corporate events. Their years of success and musical prowess have set Knoxville Highway apart as masters of their craft.
Bob Gessey leads the band on vocals, guitar and the five-string banjo. Bob is an award-winning singer and songwriter who has graced the airwaves on local and BBC radio. His talent is matched by his mastery of fingerstyle acoustic guitar and allows him to sing and play with ease. Bob is also a natural frontman and his laidback style and sense of humour enamour him to any crowd.
Alan Garwood plays the guitar and mandolin with almost clinical cleanliness. Time-perfect sweeps up and down the fretboard make him quintessential to the band and a master at playing country music from across the century.
Stuart Neal brings variety to the band and the multi-instrumentalist has mastered playing the guitar in several formats. From pedal steel guitar to the dobro, Stuart is capable of speeding along with upbeat numbers and bringing emotion to slower, soulful numbers.
Alan Nicholls rounds out the band behind the drums. His years of experience and a wide range of playing styles make him the bedrock of the band, capable of keeping time with anybody.
