Add Sarah Pirkle and they are the Naughty Knots. You'll understand more Friday night...

After much pestering and begging The fabulous Naughty Knots have agreed to play at Market Street. The Knots don't so much play for you as give you an experience you won't forget. We've seen them at Hippie Jack's, the Palace in Crossville, and reluctantly missed them at the Bijou and the Bristol Roots festival. I'm telling you, don't make that mistake. Rarely do we see the various talents and abilities of three separately strong singer songwriter musicians join together into something even greater than the sum of the excellent parts, but here we have the Knots as rare evidence.

The Naughty Knots CD is in the works and frankly there's nothing on the net tubes that lives up to what they are like in a live performance. This clip from Bristol Roots captures part of it but not that spine rippling good feeling you get when three glorious voices nail three part harmony. For that you have to be at Market Street next Friday night.

ABOUT OUR MUSIC SERIES

Music at Market Street combines our serious affection for singer songwriters, live performance of original music, and socializing with our friends and families. We started it up in the Spring of 2012 on a whim. The idea was to have a family friendly atmosphere where we could chat and visit, share food and adult beverages if we so choose, and listen to some of the best music in Tennessee. So far it's working. We meet new people every week and folks are now driving out from Knoxville and other far flung places to experience their favorite artists in a small room with great acoustics. The only complaint we ever hear is "Why didn't you tell me about this sooner?"

The people who play for us are very good. They write and record songs and are excellent musicians. We tend to be heavy on Americana genre but we recently had R&B virtuoso Jason Eskridge, so good music is good music. Most of our artists are suggested by the artists who have played at Market Street, on the theory that musicians know music. So far everyone has been better than good. We also pester artists we like after hearing them on stage at one venue or another and we try to get people you would have to go to the Bijou, Jammin' at Hippie Jack's music festival, or someplace like that to hear. They bring their CD's and other stuff for purchase. We pay artists all we can and, after expenses, donate any extra to charities we like. We take no money ourselves.
