Brand New Box of Matches

Knoxville based duo Brand New Box of Matches delivers classic-county inspired acoustic-roots music with a modern twist. Elizabeth Sherman’s lovely vocals shine on haunting ballads and raucous honky-tonk inspired tunes, while Ryan Hardison’s catchy guitar playing and wry lyrics will have your toes tapping and face grinning.

The duo has two full length albums on CD and all the major streaming services. 2022’s Strike One is a collection of classic bluegrass and country tunes and 2023’s Flame & Water is a completely original album that covers everything from relationships to ghost stories to substance abuse. Their newest original album, Light It Up!, is scheduled for release on April 5th, 2024. The first single from the new album is their rowdy honky-tonk tune “Come on Home” and is available on streaming services everywhere.

Brand New Box of Matches appearances include The WDVX Blue Plate Special, WJFC Radio, The Marshall Depot, Boones Creek Opry Cumberland Gap Folk Festival, Wears Valley Fall Festival, Sweetwater Blooms, Bluegrass & BBQ Festival, The Mountain Opry, The Dogwood Arts Festival, The Tri-State Outdoor Fest and many more.
