The Old Fashioned #39

Austin Derryberry

On November 20, 2022 we returned to our cozy club house in Madison, TN for another Old Fashioned Presents night at Dee’s Country Cocktail Lounge. This month’s featured artist was Austin Derryberry, one of the state’s finest young fiddler players and traditional musicians. He brought along his family band – wife Courtney, brother Conner and father Brian – and the music flowed between duos and full band over the hour. We’ve pulled five great songs from the set to share with you here. Otherwise, we spun new singles from Blue Highway and Larry Sparks, plus classic grass by Bill Grant and Delia Bell.

Joe's Truck Stop - Grease Fire
Blue Highway - Lonesome State of Mind
Steam Machine - Down the Road
Bill Grant and Delia Bell - Take My Hand And Tell Me
Chris Jones - Whither You Roam
