About Tennessee Whiskey

The UK’s premier Country & Americana band, spanning various genres of country, Americana and classic rock from 1950s to present day.
Americana band
Pudsey
Public liability insurance of £1 million

We are a fully live 4 piece band with years of experience having played hundreds of gigs across the UK and Europe. Having spent years playing everything from the Beatles to modern rock and indie, Tennessee Whiskey was born out of a shared love of country music, as well as the great American songbook and the music that evokes the emotion and joy only certain songs have the power to yield. From the joyous opening jangle of Tom Petty's 'American Girl', the unmistakeable riff of 'Born to Run' from The Boss through to the opening keys of '9 to 5' that'll send any country-loving crowd wild, we understand the power of the songs we play and how they can set the scene for an unforgettable evening. Country music fans know there's no crowd quite like the crowd at a country show, and that's where we aim to provide the soundtrack that'll have the dancefloor filled and fill people with joy, whether it's a wedding celebration, birthday celebration, festival or any other event. From Luke Combs and Chris Stapleton, Billy Ray Cyrus and Johnny Cash, Bruce Springsteen and Tom Petty and beyond, our set covers every corner of the country, Americana and heartland rock spectrum. Covering some of the most well-known party songs and toe-tappers, sure to fill any dancefloor, as well as songs adored by country music fans around the world, every Tennessee Whiskey set is put together to meet the bespoke needs of you, the client. Our experience in the live music industry means that booking Tennessee Whiskey is a guarantee that you can rest assured everything will be taken care of with the utmost professionalism and to the highest standard. We come prepared with our own PA system and stage lights (if required), so all we need is a stage, or big enough space, and access to power to get going and put on a memorable show. We work closely with our clients in advance of every booking to ensure you get the chance to ask any questions you may have, as well as answer any logistical questions we may have, ensuring everything runs as smoothly as possible on the day of your event. For weddings, we're happy to discuss logistics with a venue or wedding planner, meaning you're able to enjoy the run up to your big day knowing that the music is all sorted and you don't have to do anything. We'll also throw in a call beforehand to discuss any song requests and are happy to learn up a first dance song if required. Our experience playing live music means our top priorities are professionalism, great communication with our clients and, above all else, putting on a show that's going to live long in the memory. We look forward to hearing from you soon and playing some amazing country, Americana and rock music to you!

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

Every Tennessee Whiskey show has two goals: to get people dancing and to get people singing. Our clients love how we interact with the audience throughout, whether it's encouraging a linedancing competition or a singalong, and our setlist is always built to build to a great crescendo.

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

We've performed at a wide number of venues from large theatres and outdoor spaces through to small pubs and clubs. We've dealt with tiny stages, huge rooms and everything in between, so we're fully prepared for whatever you may have to throw our way.

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

Our influences are very wide and varied. We style ourselves as country and Americana because, despite initially being influenced by country we've taken on many songs from the Great American Songbook and put our spin on them. Whether it's songs you love or songs you didn't realise you love - we have them all.

What is the most high profile gig you've performed?

As Tennessee Whiskey we've performed at charity shows for thousands of people, as well as student nights, weddings, corporate functions and more. Members of our band have travelled the world playing shows, including one memorable show in Kiev Square to tens of thousands and several shows at Liverpool's iconic Cavern Club.

Do you have different line-up options?

No, Tennessee Whiskey always comes with the same lineup, so you'll always get the group advertised! That's Singers, guitars, bass and drums.

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

We can be flexible around these things. We appreciate events need to be flexible, so we can be too within reason.

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

Unfortunately not, although we could discuss using our PA to play your music through.

How much time do you need to set up?

Around an hour to an hour and a half before is preferable for setup.

Can you roam around while you perform?

As we're all plugged in with mics, roaming isn't easy. However, we're happy to discuss acoustic songs.

Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?

We're always keen to play the songs you want at your event so we'll work with you in creating a set list. Or you can leave it to us!

Is all of the equipment (e.g. PA & lighting) included in your quote?

Yes, everything is included. That's from PA and lighting to instruments.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

We're open to requests. Just let us know in advance.

Tennessee Whiskey were excellent!! Every one of the 300 people at our event loved their performance and couldn't speak highly enough of it. They were very accommodating of our event starting later than planned which took a massive stress off of us as organisers. Overall, I would definitely recommend them for any event!

Tennessee Whiskey played an awesome set at our mini festival. Despite only playing a handful of songs they had the crowd going and put on a great show. They were all great professionals, super polite and really attentive to what we needed. We'd happily book again!

Tennessee Whiskey played a brilliant set at our Crickfest Festival. Great lads and got everyone dancing. Really nice mix of well known songs, singalongs and new tunes. Loved it!!
