Wine Over Water 2009 Entertainment

Noah Collins: A native Chattanoogan, his reputation as one of the regions’ hottest up and coming independent fold artistis is growing like wildfire. With coarse, heart-filled vocals comparable to musician David Gray and songwriter Jackson Browne, Collings is a regular at regional venues like Atlanta’s Eddie’s Attic; Chattanooga’s Rhythm and Brews, and Nashville’s Bluebird Café.

Moon Slew: A bluegrass/ Americana inspired five-piece group of musicians from Chattanooga. Their masterful female lead vocals and precision musicianship make for a powerful set of original songs as well as their own spin on favorites from artists such as Old Crow Medicine Show, Gillian Welch, Allison Krauss, Bonnie Raitt and more.

Butch Ross: A local singer/ songwriter, Butch Ross can’t do anything right. He plays the mountain dulcimer’ he plays it standing up like a guitar’ he holds it upside down and strung backwards and Butch Ross plays rock n’ roll on it! Despite all this wrongness, somehow it all sounds just right.

Joseph Dunkin: Joseph Dunkin has been free-lancing fiddling around Chattanooga for eight years. A native of the South, he was classically trained on violin growing up in the suburbs of Chicago. Years later, he fell in love with Old-time and Celtic music in his days working as the historian at the Tennessee Civil War Museum. He currently works at Covenant College and still loves to get toes tappin’ and to play on the heartstrings any time he can.

Mike Serna: A contemporary Native American flutist, mike’s songs are in essence a story of occurrences in his life. As an indigenous person, a father and a lover of nature, Mike’s songs are about life through his eyes.
