The Nashville All-Stars is an exclusive instrumental performance group selected from the best of Nashville’s world-class studio and touring musicians. Curated by Grammy Award-winning Nashville producer Charlie Peacock, The Nashville All-Stars are bringing the musical history, virtuosity and songs of Music City to concert fans around the globe. The “It City” now has its own “It Band.” Comprised of Grammy Award-winners in multiple categories, the All-Stars are associated with many of Nashville’s brightest stars including Jack White, Taylor Swift, Kelly Clarkson, the Fisk Jubilee Singers, Amy Grant, Faith Hill & Tim McGraw, Garth Brooks, Carrie Underwood, TobyMac and The Civil Wars. These instrumentalists have played on thousands of Nashville-centric recordings, selling millions and earning multiple Gold & Platinum status. Beyond Nashville, their credits include a diversity of artists such as Eric Clapton, Chris Cornell, Peter Frampton, Donna Summer, Kirk Whalum, Snarky Puppy, Dave Matthews Band and Don Henley. Joining the All-Stars are a selection of Nashville’s premiere vocalists, though none more stunning and celebrated than the remarkable RUBY AMANFU (uh-mon-foo). Ruby first came to national attention as a bright star on NBC’s The Sing-Off, it was her iconic and riveting duet performance of “Love Interruption” with Jack White on the 2013 Grammy Telecast that gave her international attention. A guest slot on Beyonce’s 2016 “Lemonade” cemented Ruby’s reputation as Nashville’s newest vocal ambassador. NPR pop critic Ann Powers has written that she’s “all about the chills when Ruby Amanfu sings” and no description could be more spot-on. The Nashville All-Stars repertoire includes songs made famous by Bill Monroe, Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline, Roy Orbison, Chet Atkins, Kris Kristofferson, Bob Dylan, Boots Randolph, Roger Miller, Willie Nelson, Joe Tex, Loretta Lynn, Dolly Parton, Vince Gill, Sonny James, Tammy Wynette, Mark O’Connor, Bela ´ Fleck, Eric Clapton, Amy Grant, The Civil Wars, Kings of Leon, Jack White, Paramore, Sixpence None the Richer, Chris Stapleton, Alison Krauss and Taylor Swift. https://www.charliepeacock.com/nashville-all-stars

The Nashville All-Stars is a group of Nashville sessionmen, including pianist Floyd Cramer, saxophonist Boots Randolph, Gary Burton, Hank Garland, and Chet Atkins. Their debut, After the Riot in Newport, is a surprisingly jazzy effort, highllighted by some excellent leads by Atkins, yet it is a bit too down-home for jazzbos, and a bit too polished for country fans. Nevertheless, fans of pure musicianship will find plenty to treasure on the album. ~ Thom Owens https://www.allmusic.com/album/after-the-riot-at-newport-mw0000654918

Personnel: Chet Atkins, Hank Garland (guitar); Brenton Banks (violin, piano); Boots Randolph (alto saxophone, tenor saxophone); Floyd Cramer (piano); Gary Burton (vibraphone); Buddy Harman (drums).
