Ryder Casey Band
Rooted in East Tennessee, Ryder Casey Band blends country, bluegrass, and folk influences with the spirit of artists like Tyler Childers and The Allman Brothers. Whether on small stages or large, their shows are high-energy, heartfelt, and authentically Appalachian. Their recent victory at the Main Street Music Mashup in Greeneville earned them a spot as this week’s featured act.
