Tennessee River was formed in January of 2002 with the idea of bringing back and paying tribute to one of the most influential and vocally dynamic country bands of our time – Alabama. Receiving over 150 industry awards including 8 country music “Entertainer of the Year” honors, 2 Grammy’s, 2 People’s Choice Awards, “Artist of the Decade” recognition by the Academy of Country Music, “Country Group of the Century” honors from the RIAA, induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame (one of only two bands ever to get that honor) and their very own star on the “Hollywood Walk of Fame,” there is no doubt that Alabama has become an icon in music history. Given that kind of illustrious track record, this is why Tennessee River was born — to spotlight an incredible band that really to this day has never been recognized by any tribute project to the degree they should be...until now.

 

Prior to forming Tennessee River, the guys had performed in various country and rock projects, and have been frequently compared to such legendary bands as the Eagles, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Diamond Rio, and of course Alabama. What better way to pay homage to a mega group like Alabama then to truly represent them the way they should be — “raw” and original just like they were during their unstoppable rein from 1980 till today. Tennessee River combines the essence of Alabama with their own unique sound and live show to produce both a visual and audible feast that is sure to please audiences of all ages. Tennessee River’s tribute to Alabama offers a walk down memory lane with more than a decade of 41 #1 hits that span the career of Alabama and is sure to give your audience a reason to sing along and dance...again.
