Full Q&A along with links and music below.

Where are you from and what style of music do you create? (In your own words, not necessarily in marketing terms or by popular genre classifications.)

Well, Dixie Tabernacle is more of a running Studio Project  the Name derives from a Building in east Nashville that housed the Grand ole Opry in the 1930s for a couple years. Jimmy Hall that has been singing with Jeff Beck is one of our singers as is Thane Sharon , Doug Phelps ( Kentucky headhunters) and Bekka Bramlett  Like an Opry show it not one Artist .

Name one or two challenges you face as an indie musician in this over saturated, digital music age? How has technology helped you (since we know it does help)?
