The Tennessee Sheiks
The Tennessee Sheiks is a band made up of several long time Knoxville musicians,
who have graced many stages in numerous groups over the years. The Sheiks music
is best described as acoustic swing: jazz standards played (and sung) a la the
style of the great Gypsy guitarist Django Rinehardt, as well as original tunes
and an occasional Appalachian ballad.
Brilliantly executing the mandolin and dobro, Don Cassell brings his energetic
and exuberant presence to the group.
A master of rhythm guitar, tenor banjo and percussion, Morgan Simmons keeps
things going with his solid rhythmic presentation.
Lead guitar player Don Wood, a true disciple of Django Rinehardt, consistently
and creatively delivers exciting interpretations which would make his mentor
proud.
Jon Steele, bassist, is known to many from his work playing in many of the jazz
bands in Knoxville as well his work in the Kings of the Killerfish Band & the
Steel Drum band.
Nancy Brennan Strange, the chanteuse of the Sheiks, joyfully delivers the vocals
in this very interesting, entertaining band.
You are guaranteed to enjoy a wonderful musical evening with the Tennessee
Sheiks!
