1927 Society Concert Series: Hogslop String Band
Hogslop String Band returns to Bristol this winter as the 1927 Society proudly presents the next installment of its renowned 1927 Concert Series at the Birthplace of Country Music Museum. This intimate evening of cocktails, catering, and world-class roots music takes place on Friday, February 27, 2026, beginning at 6 p.m.

Hogslop String Band is a rare breed: a group that honors old-time string band tradition while embracing a bold, irreverent energy rooted in rock ’n’ roll. With their combination of deep musical chops and wild stage presence, the Nashville-based quartet has earned a reputation as one of the most exhilarating live acts on the roots music circuit.
Fiddler and singer Kevin Martin, guitarist and harmonica player Gabriel Kelley, banjoist Daniel Binkley, and bassist-entertainer Pickle fuse genres with ease, moving fluidly between rock, folk, old-time, psychedelic textures, and their own high-voltage originals—an evolving sonic alchemy they affectionately call “The Hogslop Sound.”
The band’s wacky name hints at their rowdy charisma, but catching them live reveals the full scope of their artistry: blistering musicianship, sharp songwriting, and a fearlessness that pushes beyond the boundaries of genre. Since making their Grand Ole Opry debut in 2022, Hogslop String Band has continued to expand its creative reach, winning over new audiences while remaining firmly rooted in the traditions that shaped them.
About the 1927 Concert Series
The 1927 Concert Series offers an intimate, elevated music experience inside the “acoustically perfect” Performance Theater at the Birthplace of Country Music Museum.

Doors open promptly at 6 p.m., allowing guests to mingle, enjoy refreshments, and settle into an atmosphere designed for deep listening and meaningful connection with today’s leading roots artists.
