2009-07-13T17:16:00.000-07:00

NEW BOOKINGS!! DETAILS VERY VERY SOON!!
COME HEAR THIS NEW OLD BAND...WE ARE DANG FUN.

After a three year run
the Mountain Folk Reunion band is
now refining and redefining into
a trio.

The FUN will remain and grow...
The old songs will remain and grow...
The excitment will remain and grow...
AND YOU are invited to not only
join us on this new ride but
to drop into our first practice
for a very casual look at
this new beginning!

No doubt in a very few
short weeks the trio will pull these
"early" attempts and toss them far far away...
but until then, here they are.

VETS DAY AT THE HARLEY SHED!

2008-11-11T17:33:00.000-08:00

The giant Harley Davidson dealership in Maryville
celebrated Veterans day by throwing a great big
FREE lunch at their music venue! The Mountain Folk Reunion
played the tunes and over one hundred and fifty of
America's Finest braved the cold wind to come out for the show!

Vern and Walker told old war stories, Vern was with Lee
and Walker was with Napoleon.

The band drug one of the big heaters on stage and
Bobby used it to warm his hands before he gave Vern
his pre-show foot massage.

Vern had a great idea for the open flame but
couldn't hold it long enough to find a ladder
to climb up close enough for Ignition.

Thanks again to the Shed for all the work and
a bigger thanks goes to all those who were remembered
on this Veterans DAY!!!!!!

Saturday night (7-12-08)
The band tuned up their
BIG Catino's show at
Music Row in Maryville.

We were in a practice room where
folks would drop by to listen, pick along
and check out the tall guys new plastic guitar.

Impressive is the word used to
describe Kelly on bass! His hard
driving guitar is still a corner stone of
the band..BUT the addition of the electric
upright sets toes to tapping!

The evening audience at Music Row
liked all the new OLD songs and we
hope you like them also on the 19th!

HOT PARTY!!!

2008-06-05T05:34:00.000-07:00

WEST KNOXVILLE summer heat can be
DANG hot but because there is
SO much wealth in the red
brick manses, it is a kinder,
gentler heat.

THE mountain FOLK reunion
Stood in a driveway at
three PM Sunday and rendered their
finest for a heat stroking, dehydrating,
pit staining, joyous group of
community members.

The watch word was FLUIDS
and Banjo Virtuosos, BOBBY WILSON
was dead into the hydration process.

Here he is with just under a gallon
of GIN mixed with a touch of New Port
White Lighting and cleverly disguised
in a University Of Tennessee commemorative
cup!

Gathering under one of the few trees
on the property Vern, Walker and Bobby
gave the camera a big smile
when the woman taking
their picture flashed them!

Behind The Mountain Folk Reunion was a
community band who took the idea of
GARAGE BAND
to the next level!
These guys were very good and on several
of the MFR tunes they added drums and
keyboard. It was great fun having them jump
in and those members of the audience who
had yet to be air lifted to UT really approved
of the expanded sound!

Guitars,

Community, Friends, Great tunes,

Bobby's copious amounts of FLUID
all
blended together to make it one HOT SHOW!

NOW...call Catinos and make
your reservation for next FRIDAY.

Back for more!
The Mountain Folk Reunion

At Catino’s Friday, June 13
Our last show at Catino’s was last fall, and the crowd sang along with us hootenanny-style. We had a blast. Catino’s will again be the place to be this weekend with warm temperatures and some hot tunes. The music selection continues to grow with the addition of “Mrs. Robinson,” “Joy to the World,” “Daydream Believer,” “Delta Dawn,” and “Twist and Shout.” Plus there will be the standards, “MTA,” “Michael, Row the Boat Ashore,” “Where Have All the Flowers Gone” and more.

Make your reservations early to assure seating on the deck. Call 458-1000. Music starts at 7 p.m., and there is a cover charge.

The reviews are in from the
ward winning Townsend Tattler News
and they paint the Mountain Folk Reunion show
right up there with the Second Coming!

Old and even Older alike sang along
on most if not all songs as the
almost famous group rolled them
back to the world of bell bottom
genes, sandals, and gas under fifty cents.

If you were one of the many who braved the
blustery day to catch the show you have or
many thanks.
Drop us a note if you would
like to be on our newsletter.

WELCOME TO OUR BLOG!

We are The Mountain Folk Reunion.

TMFR is a group of four guys who remember the
fun of singing on the bus, around the camp
fire, in a coffee house, on a flat bed in a
field, on stage in a theme park, in the basement
of a frat house, or late on a summers evening on
a back porch. The song list is as long
as our combined memories and it includes all
of those tunes that make you say.. "I REMEMBER THAT ONE!"

We invite you to join us in this
fun walk back in time. If you need
any booking information or event locations
just drop us an e mail at themountainfolkreunion.com
and we will get right back to you!

Check back often for pictures from our
shows and locations of where you can come
out and JOIN the party!

We are gearing up for the season. Come and have fun with us

at these events!!! See you there.
