Think: the Band meets the Beatles meets Hank Williams meets Creedence Clearwater Revival - American Musics with Influences from Around the World
Uncle Lightnin’ was formed in 1996 in Chattanooga, TN. The intent was to create new music that celebrated and incorporated the many different styles of American music.
Most of the people who have tried to describe what we do have had difficulty in pinning down our style of music. That’s great, because that’s exactly what we want. Whether it’s straight-up rock ‘n’ roll, hard-core country, traditional bluegrass, deep blues, Southern gospel, Cajun, hillbilly or rockabilly that you think you hear, you’re right.
That’s why we bill ourselves as Specialists in American Musics (although we’re likely to throw in the odd Beatles or Stones cover from time to time). Because of this unique blend of styles our CD’s have received critical acclaim and radio airplay all over the U.S.A. and Europe.
We write our own material, and our shows feature our own material, but we also enjoy playing great songs by other writers.
Sometimes we don’t even know what we’re going to play until someone asks for it: and if you have a request and we don’t know it, we’ll do our best to make you love us anyway.

Please submit your artist news and events to CountryHome Forum to help your artists to get well known better in Europe.

I know that many artists from North America don't have their music videos uploaded to German video websites. The most popular websites are MyVideo.de and ClipFish.de. That means your European audience does not have the chance to find them.
I understand that most of you don't speak German and are not able to upload videos because of the language barrier. If you would like me to upload your videos to the German video websites, please let me know.

Thanks for the support! Hope to see you at the show! Please help spread the word. Here's a video of a song that I wrote about a "Cotton Pickin Woman" -Peewee Moore & The Awful Dreadful Snakes
Thought I would drop you a line and let you know that we will be giving away FREE studio time as well as CD packages. To get the info just follow us on TWITTER

Hey, just letting everyone know about our show tonight at The Low Down in Chattanooga. It's on the north shore right off of Market St. at 306 Cherokee Blvd, right across from Krystal. We'll be starting around 10:30ish. Hope to see y'all there. Peace.
The Last Straw
We just picked up some new mastering speakers and would like to put them to the test. We are going to give out FREE mastering sessions for artist. Feel free to submit 1 song for our consideration and if we accept the work we will notify you before we start work on your song. Each song will take approximately 1 day each so please give us some time to complete the work. We will only take the first 10 projects.
What should you send?
This is the most important part.
1. No crappy recordings. If it sounds bad to start with I cannot help. If the recording is bad I will not work on the project so dont get your feelings hurt if I refuse to do your song.
1a. The recording must be from a commercial studio. No home recordings please. If the mixing and sound is not good I cant do anything to help the tracks.
2. There must not be ANY compression or LIMITING on the final mix. If you do not know what this is then talk to the engineer that did the work. If he does not know what that is then call me. Your mix should be very very bouncy and it should NOT go into the RED at any point. Distortion in the overall mix is Baaaaaaaaaaad.
3. I will not accept MP3's. This is one of the worst formats to work in and the sound quality is terrible. Regardless of how much it is used it is bad. Trust me. We need either a WAVE or a AIF file. Not an MP3 that has been converted BACK into a better file but a file that started out as a WAVE or AIF and is stil lin that format. Trust me. I can tell !
4. Feel free to ZIP the file to save space.
5. If you cannot email your file I can give you some alternative ways to send me the songs. DROPBOX is t
