AFTER HOURS
April 12, 2025
Under a glowing spring moon, the barnyard had its final dance at Lolly Bee Bayou 🌕💃🌲
With perfect spring weather and a glowing full moon overhead, the barnyard came alive one final time. Hogslop String Band, The Sentimental Gentlemen, The Shirt Tuckers, and Noah G. Fowler filled the air with foot-stompin’ tunes while dancers of all ages twirled under the trees. Campfires crackled, s’mores were toasted, and bowls of jambalaya (with French bread courtesy of Good Neighbor Bread!) kept bellies warm and happy.
Together, we raised funds for the Nashville Industry Fund, supporting first-time homebuyers in Nashville’s creative and service communities. It was a sendoff to remember—full of joy, connection, and just the right amount of bayou spirit.
While this was our final After Hours at Lolly Bee Bayou, who’s to say what might be around the bend… 🙌

MUSICIANS
Hogslop String Band
Hogslop String Band, a whirlwind of raw energy and unadulterated musical talent, emerged from the heart of Appalachia with a mission to redefine traditional string band music. Formed by Gabriel Kelley (Guitar & Vocals), Kevin Martin (Fiddle & Vocals), Daniel Binkley (Banjo & Vocals), and anchored by Pickle on bass, the band found its roots in the rich musical soil of Tennessee. Drawing inspiration from the old-time sounds of the region while infusing their compositions with a modern edge, Hogslop String Band quickly captivated audiences with their electrifying performances and infectious charisma.
Sentimental Gentlemen
Hailing from the heart of East Nashville’s thriving music scene, The Sentimental Gentlemen are a powerhouse collective that seamlessly blend deep-rooted traditional bluegrass with fresh, contemporary influences. When they’re not on the road backing the West Virginia songbird, Sierra Ferrell, the band’s members are busy crafting a sound that is as diverse as it is electrifying, drawing on years of professional stage and studio experience.
The Shirt Tuckers
The Shirt Tuckers are the freshest set of faces and sounds in Country and Western music. They provide a magical live experience consisting of the highest quality musicianship framed in the timeless, nostalgic sounds of Country music and Western Swing. The fellas have recorded several singles and a full length album, titled The Pinker Side Of Orange.
Noah G. Fowler
Hailing from the Cumberland Valley of South-Central Pennsylvania, Noah G. Fowler is a songwriter and guitarist now based in Nashville, Tennessee. Drawing influences from his past in Canadian maritime Fiddle jams, smoky Pennsylvania mountain dive bars, underground Allston basement shows, and his present - learning from Nashville’s honky tonk living legends - his sound is a diverse and rich composite of many roots music traditions.
