NASHVILLE -- February 19, 2014 -- The Soggy Bottom Boys— the rollicking old-time string band featured on the silver screen, known for the Grammy winning "Man of Constant Sorrow" —have reunited for a special performance Saturday, March 22, at Ole Smoky® Tennessee Moonshine Distillery (also known as The Holler™) located at 903 Parkway in Gatlinburg, Tennessee.  It is a free show that starts at 5:00 PM.

This performance marks the first time The Soggy Bottom Boys will appear as a stage band.

The March 22 show is the first for The Soggy Bottom Boys as a stage band.  It will kick off Ole Smoky Moonshine’s 2014 concert series. 

 “We are thrilled to bring an influential group like The Soggy Bottom Boys in to The Holler to kick off our 2014 musical programming”, said Ole Smoky Moonshine Founder Joe Baker. “Music and moonshine go hand in hand, as they bring folks together, and we are so looking forward to entertaining our guests with The Soggy Bottom Boys great sounds.”
