Biography
Knoxville Highway is a legendary country band based in Birmingham with a wide repertoire of country classics ideal for singing and dancing. This live band are a must for line dances, Western-themed events, birthday parties and corporate events. Their years of success and musical prowess have set them apart as masters of their craft. This real-deal band bring stunning live music to a range of events and are masters of their craft. Bob Gessey leads the band on vocals, guitar and the five-string banjo. Bob is an award-winning singer and songwriter who has graced the airwaves on local and BBC radio.
His talent is matched by his mastery of fingerstyle acoustic guitar and allows him to sing and play with ease. Bob is also a natural frontman and his laidback style and sense of humour enamour him to any crowd. Alan Garwood plays the guitar and mandolin with almost clinical cleanliness. Time-perfect sweeps up and down the fretboard make him quintessential to the band and a master at playing country music from across the century. Stuart Neal brings variety to the band and the multi-instrumentalist has mastered playing the guitar in several formats.
From pedal steel guitar to the dobro, Stuart is capable of speeding along with upbeat numbers and bringing emotion to slower, soulful numbers. Alan Nicholls rounds out the band behind the drums. His years of experience and a wide range of playing styles make him the bedrock of the band, capable of keeping time with anybody. Together, this talented bunch of musicians perform hits by the likes of Tracy Byrd, Johnny Cash, Jim Reeves, The Eagles, Randy Travis, Kenny Rogers, Willie Nelson, Alison Krauss and many more.
On top of this, Knoxville Highway adds a few of their own numbers to the mix to create a totally unique experience. This country band have proved successful as corporate entertainment and have appeared at venues across the country. Their ability to fill a dancefloor is unmatched and has won them thousands of fans. The Bloxwich Theatre summed up Knoxville Highway’s effect best when a representative from them said: "And it says a lot about these guys that they filled the house with our first capacity crowd since opening after the 2009-2010 refurbishment."

Four very talented musicians with a wide ranging repertoire of tracks some of which are their own material. Thoroughly recommend them to any club that wants to have an entertaining act, on top of that they are real friendly guys and are happy to interact with their audience and mix in the breaks. Great band full stop." - Tim Carman, Lazy 'R's Country Music Club
