Michael Reno Harrell at Rose Center

Posted on Thursday, August 2, 2012 at 10:58 am

Rose Center will host Hamblen County native Michael Reno Harrell in concert, Saturday, August 18, at 8 PM.  Admission is $15; tickets are available in advance at Rose Center or at the door.  This will be one of his first performances following the release of his brand new recording, “Then There’s Me.”

Michael Reno Harrell is an award winning songwriter, as well as a veteran storyteller and entertainer, and he’s from the South…the Southern Appalachian Mountains to hone it a bit finer. Four decades of performing have taken him to over forty states and many foreign countries. One could compare Michael’s performances to his granddaddy’s pocketknife, well-worn and familiar feeling, but razor sharp and with a point. He gets the job done. His recordings top the Americana Music Association charts year after year and his touring schedule stays full. Michael’s combination of music and storytelling are based in experience, sometimes downright funny, sometimes just plain scary, maybe even with a message worth taking away, but always mesmerizing and entertaining.
Michael has penned hits for Nashville receiving both Gold and Platinum Awards. Michael won First Place in the prestigious Chris Austin Songwriting contest at Merle Fest in 2002. He has recorded with some of the giants in the acoustic field including pals Sam Bush and Jerry Douglas. His storytelling has been described as, “Andy Griffith with an edge” and “…the Appalachian Mark Twain”. Don’t miss an opportunity to immerse yourself in the Southern Experience. As Michael puts it, “You don’t have to be from the South to be Southern, you just gotta live here… and like it!”
