   About The LoneTones
Sign up for our mailing list:

We're a Knoxville, TN band that plays original, Appalachian roots-based music that goes well beyond the "tradition." We've been called modern folk, Americana, folk rock, "an Appalachian Belle and Sebastian"... We've been accused of having a unique sound and strong song writing. But it doesn't really matter what anyone else says, take a listen for yourself here on the site. Or better yet, come out to a show.

Order or download our new CD below:

THE LONETONES: Canaries


"It’s disarming, beguiling, sometimes hypnotic…." -Jack Neely, Metropulse

I have no idea what to call the Lonetones. They're acoustic musicians who don't always play acoustic. They're folk musicians with a love of modern psychedelia. Whatever they are, they're great. "Canaries," the group's third album, stretches the Lonetones' borders a little more. Married couple Steph Gunnoe and Sean McCullough anchor the group with their consistently fine songs and vocals. Stand-out numbers include Gunnoe's beautiful and delicate "Gone Again" and McCullough's "Blue Vinyl" - a song that is so lyrically minimalist that it has no right to be so lovable. Bassist Maria Williams, drummer Steve Corrigan and accordionist/pianist Lissa McLeod help flesh good songs out into something purely beautiful.
-Wayne Bledsoe, Knoxville News Sentinel

"I think there's something really pleasing about dissonance," Gunnoe told The Daily Times this week. "I think we're really melodically driven musicians, but it's so pleasing to somehow wed something really melodic with a more complex dissonance or background…." That dissonance may seem out-of-place on an initial listen to "Canaries," but repeated plays find McCollough and Gunnoe at a creative peak. The sound effects are understated -- sly and soft, contributing to a song's mood or melody in almost indefinable ways. The layers are arranged in gorgeous stacks, like the shimmering icing of a wedding cake -- intricate, detailed and personable. Gunnoe's girlish voice is another instrument in the mix, and as it swirls and bobs on a sea of lush instrumentation, there's a dreamlike quality to "Canaries" that's fascinating and endearing.
-Steve Wildsmith, Maryville Daily Times

"Sean and I are always taking issue with people putting Appalachian music in a box. We want it to be something that's living and breathing."
-from “New Appalachia: The Lonetones - Band looks to bring mountain music into the modern day,” Wayne Bledsoe Knoxville News Sentinel
