  • New Familiars, The  (Music)
    Barley's Taproom and Pizzeria – Knoxville
    10:00 PM
    One thing is clear about the Appalachian combo known as The New Familiars: they mean it. The band claims to be "folk music from the core," but an experienced listener can quickly recognize the permeating influences of blues and powerful rock and roll. Very seldom does a cross-genre synthesis experiment result in such authenticity. The band has impressed audiences of all backgrounds in tiny clubs and monstrous outdoor festivals alike. Says Dan Costello of Urban Folk NYC: "Music's fun when great musicians are clearly enjoying themselves. These guys are a good reminder of that."

The 'Thorne Rooms' were developed in the 1930s and 40s by Mrs. James Ward Thorne, Chicago, who loved dollhouses as a child. After extensive travels in Europe where she collected miniature furniture and accessories, Thorne had over two dozen miniature rooms created by cabinetmakers from her own drawings. They were made in a scale of one inch to one foot. She painted and stained woodwork, papered walls and made textiles for the rooms.
