Summary: Flat River Band - Biography<br>One thing is apparent when you listen to The Flat River Band. The trio, comprised of siblings Andy,<br>Dennijo, and Chad Sitze, love to have fun when they are playing music – and it shows.<br>This bond has carried the success of the band throughout the years as the trio has opened for the<br>Dixie Chicks’ Natalie Maines, Alison Krauss, Ricky Skaggs, Rhonda Vincent, TG Sheppard, among<br>others. <br>The brothers have also charted #1 hits on the bluegrass gospel charts as well as have had their<br>songs featured in the 2018 movie “The Least of These — A Christmas Story” featuring Duane Allen<br>(Oak Ridge Boys), Deborah Allen, and Tayla Lynn (Loretta Lynn’s granddaughter). <br>That unabandoned joy and love of music comes to the forefront when you listen to the band’s new<br>album, Every Dog Has Its Day. The trio’s fifth effort is one that the band is very excited to bring to<br>the attention of its fans.<br>Aaron McDaris who plays with Rhonda Vincent and the Rage was brought into play banjo, and<br>much to the brothers’ surprise, he brought with him his 1934 Gibson RB-3 that was owned by<br>Sonny Osborne who recorded the University of Tennessee’s theme song “Rocky Top” with that<br>same banjo in 1967. One of Dennijo’s guitar superheroes, Johnny Hiland who is legally blind was<br>brought in to play the electric guitar, while Stuart Duncan played fiddle.<br>Those all-star names only add to the first—rate musicianship that fans have expected from The Flat<br>River Band over the years. Again, Chad chalks that up to the undeniable bond between the three<br>brothers that grew through a dozen years performing at Branson’s Silver Dollar City and five at<br>Dollywood in Pigeon Forge.<br>And just as the band features some special guests on instrumentation, they also include some of<br>Nashville’s top tunesmiths on the disc, such as “In Another World,” a co-write with the highly<br>respected John Scott Sherrill (“Some Fools Never Learn,” “The Church On Cumberland Road.”).<br>Telling stories – whether it be that of John or their own – is what the Flat River Band is all about.<br><br>Facebook.com/flatrivermusic<br>Instagram.com/flatrivermusic<br>Twitter.com/flatrivermusic<br><a href="https://www.flatriverband.com/" rel="noopener">https://www.flatriverband.com/</a><br><br>CONTACT:<br>Michael Stover<br>MTS Management Group<br><a href="mailto:michael@mtsmanagementgroup.com">michael@mtsmanagementgroup.com</a><br><br>For more interviews visit: <a href="http://www.iamrefocusedradio.com" rel="noopener">www.iamrefocusedradio.com</a><br><br>Sponsors:<br><br>Rockafellas Barber Shop San Antonio<br><br>Rico Rodriguez (Owner)<br><br><a href="http://www.facebook.com/Rockafellas-Barber-Shop-105026620034718/?ref=page_internal" rel="noopener">www.facebook.com/Rockafellas-Barber-Shop-105026620034718/?ref=page_internal</a><br><br>1733 Babcock<br>San Antonio, Texas 78229<br><br>Phone: (210) 782-5188<br><br>Supporters:<br><br>Sanctuary of Hope<br><br>A Place of Refuge<br>Sanctuary of Hope provides a caring and nurturing environment to single expectant mothers ages 12-22 and their children.<br><br>Every Life Counts<br>Pregnant and not sure what to do?
