| About SouthernSmoke |
|
Hap Strunk Joined Dillard Anderson and Sothern Smoke in May of 2005 and was asked to "front the show" Southern Smoke has undergone many changes. Here is the current line-up!
Dillard Anderson is widely known and respected in the music community
as one of the best thumb-style guitarists in the world. His career has spanned
more than 50 years. His prowess with the pedal steel guitar has earned him the title of "the best steel player in the south" by cincinnati magazine.
Hap Strunk has enjoyed performing with various Bluegrass acts, such as Jim &Jesse, Grandpa and Ramona Jones, the Whites, and the Father of Bluegrass, Bill Monroe and on the original Renfro Valley Barndance. After all those years in bluegrass Hap has made the transition to classic country music very smoothly. He has extensive radio experience and currently hosts "Haps Place" on Whay Radio in Whitley City
Audrey Brown is hailed as the "Queen of the keyboard". She joined Sothern Smoke in 2006. Audrey is a favorite of the audience her skill and timimg are
impeccable her rendition of last date is awesome, you'll not find a more
versitile piano player or a sweeter lady than Miss Audrey!
Roger Stephens made musical history at Renfro Valley, by be the first guy to ever play drums there! He has a "Velvet Touch" and superb timimg.
Bridgett Turner-Gambrel is a top quality musician and a very gracious lady, beautiful inside and out, She plays keyboard, drums, guitar and bass. A team player, her rock solid bass guitar gives Southern Smoke it's kick! She joined the band in may of ,07 Lindsey Hatfield is our girl singer. I have never seen an artist pack more emotion into a song.
Her rendition of Don't touch me is awesome and she really gives life to a song
written by Hap Strunk called "Right before your eyes". The uptown opry is a
professionally produced and perfromed show! Vanessa Bryant is a splendid vocalist both a a lead singer and a harmony singer she is the real deal! Catch a show soon you'll be surprized! We aint no garage band!
