Description:
The Floyd Country Store presents Shawn Lane and Richard Bennett in concert on Saturday, April 8, 2023.

Shawn Lane is a three-time GRAMMY Nominee and 28-time IBMA Award winner with supergroup Blue Highway. A fan-favorite vocalist, instrumentalist, and songwriter, Shawn co-founded Blue Highway and space-age I-Tone Picks. Shawn is as explosive on fiddle as mandolin and guitar, and has often lent his talents to the GRAMMY winning Earls of Leicester.

As a solo artist, Shawn has charted two Number 1 songs ~ "I Met the Man" and "One More" ~ on the Bluegrass charts in 2019, 2020 and 2021.

He has toured or recorded with Ricky Skaggs, Lee Ann Womack, Alison Krauss, Dan Tyminski, Doyle Lawson, Larry Sparks, Kenny Chesney, Jerry Douglas, and Willie Nelson, among others.

Shawn has headlined shows with his family as Shawn Lane & Family in response to popular demand, and also appears in the duo, Shawn Lane & Richard Bennett. His newest ensemble Shawn Lane & Sons features harmony for miles with his talented sons Grayson and Garrett.

Richard is a respected guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter who began his musical journey at the young age of seven. By age 15, the East Tennessee native was touring with former Flatt & Scruggs fiddle player Benny Sims. Gigs at Dollywood followed, with his big break coming in the 1990's as he joined the legendary J.D. Crowe & The New South. Bennett appeared on Crowe's 1995 album "Flashback," which was nominated for two GRAMMY Awards. He went on to tour with greats like Bobby Osbourne, Mike Auldridge, and Jimmy Gaudreau. Richard also released several solo and trio albums on Lonesome Day and Pinecastle Records. His projects have garnered radio airplay across the musical genres of Bluegrass, Folk and Americana.

Shawn and Richard started writing songs together in 2017. A few unique songs seemed to have a natural duo feel, so the two decided to spread their musical wings with a duo project showcasing their songwriting, instrumentals, and vocal chops. Their sound that has a slightly more folk and jam feel than the music Shawn and Richard release with their respective primary bands.

Their debut performance was at the heralded Joe Val Bluegrass Festival in Boston on February 17, 2019, to rave reviews from fans and music critics alike.

General admission is $20.00 and reserved seating is $25.00.
