Oklahoma singer songwriter Tennessee Jet just released his fifth album,"Ranchero," one that captures the essence of his red dirt roots, blending twangy guitars and fiddle tracks like "The Oklahoma Rose" with the grungy groove of another standout track, "Ray Wylie Hubbard."  "Ranchero" also features TJ's full band version of "Bury My Bones," a song which has achieved platinum streaming status. His lyrics and production continue to reflect his personal reflections, making"Ranchero"a testament to his authentic and diverse approach to country music.

"I'm always looking to challenge the definition of what a specific genre is supposed to sound like," Jet says. "People are aching for truth in country music again, and that's what these records came to represent. "His albums, from "South Dakota" through "The Country" and into "Ranchero," are a testament to his artistic crossroads, where nostalgia meets innovation, crafting a version of country music that's both fresh and familiar.

Opening: Ben Torbett  

Originally from North Georgia, Ben's new album, Bluer Side, captures his roots in classic country, rock, and honest songwriting. Ben's rough and tumble lyricism has earned Bluer Side high praise. His show Thursday April 24th, opening for TJ, will feature Mark Spencer and more all star players.

OFFICIAL ST. ELMO PORCH FEST 2025 ~ After Party!

Join us for the last performance of this year’s Porch Fest with an after party at The Woodshop featuring Sweet G.A. Brown. 

"If Steve Earle and John Prine tag teamed Bob Dylan, and Jerry Reed was pushin', Roger Alan Wade would laugh at em and say, '' y'all can't make a Sweet G.A. Brown.”

Sweet GA Brown (Gary Allan Brown) is a singer-songwriter that has a very long resume of record releases around the world. He has in the past decade or so settled into a solo singer-songwriter mode that has caught the attention of artist such as Chris Knight, as well as publication's such as Saving Country Music, No Depression, etc..

The self described "wordsmith" is a rough around the edges mash up Roger Miller meets John Prine with a lingering punk rock edge…

Blue Cactus have developed a distinctly electrified twang that branches out effortlessly into folk, alt-country and psychedelic-tinged rock. Having released two records to critical acclaim, they have grown a cult following in the South and beyond, their introspective lyricism and blistering guitar techniques making the band potent in the studio and on stage. In addition to releasing their third studio album, 2025 will see Blue Cactus making their PBS debut on Shaped by Sound, a new series spotlighting North Carolina’s rich music heritage. Most recently, they were contributors to "Cardinals at the Window", an expansive compilation featuring REM, Gillian Welch, The War On Drugs, The Avett Brothers, Phish and more. In just the first week, the project raised over $310,000 for flood relief efforts in western North Carolina and celebrated a chart topping Billboard debut.

We look forward to having them back at The Woodshop.

Opening: 

Emerald Butler - one of Chattanooga's up-and-coming songwriters and multi-instrumentalists with her own unique brand of country and bluegrass.

Jeremy Wells, a North GA singer-songwriter, with an extensive list of albums and accolades brings his new album to The Woodshop. His trio blends the poetry of Wells into a stew of flavors and soulful semantics with performances consisting of original material that offer an abundance of styles and emotion.

Russell Cooke & the Sweet Teeth mine a vein of Americana that veers from electrified country blues and opens up to bombastic cosmic rock. Featuring the sparkling guitar work of Scotty Knight and ace drummer Jeremy Clark, the Teeth play original music mixed with the occasional unique transformation of a traditional song.
