The Hot Club of Nashville is lead by Brittian-born Richard Smith who owns a guitar signed “To my hero, Richard” – Jerry Reed and Chet Atkins. Fellow guitarist Pat Bergeson (expect Howard Levy-like harmonica solos too) moved to Nashville at the request of Chet Atkins to record and join his band, where he remained several years. Fiddle player Aaron Till has performed with Jerry Reed, Tanya Tucker, Pam Tillis and Tommy Emmanuel, among other musical royalty. Joining Annie and the Hot Club on bass and drums is Todd Parks and Chris Brown (respectively), both members of the Sam Bush Band.
