Big Country's Empty Bottle Live at Boyd's Jig and Reel

Big Country's Empty Bottle formed with the chance meeting between guitarist & singer, Adam Petty, and guitarist, Sam McAteer, circa 2007. The two began their bluegrass pilgrimage with no more aspiration than campfire picking, but it wasn't till they were introduced by a friend of Mr. Mandolin, Jonathan Keeney, that the idea of a band started. A few months pass by, and Keeney introduces the band to the much-needed bass man, Will Ross, and percussionist, Hunter Deacon. With Will's thumping bass riffs and Hunter's percussion skills, the band had the perfect rhythm section. The band’s lineup was finally complete, and they immediately acquired a small Knoxville following that seems to grow bigger every performance. The five musicians come from completely different musical backgrounds, and they seem to have found an original sound comprised of almost every style of music that also attracts an extensive range of fans. Big Country's Empty Bottle hit the Jig & Reel stage on July 11th from 9 pm-midnight.
