Over In Lenoir City, Tennessee, Donna’s Diner Pours Coffee Like It’s 1975

There is a small building in Lenoir City with no sign out front, no name on the windows, and no card reader by the register, yet locals keep filling its seats before the sun is fully up. The coffee cups come from a collection of mismatched mugs, the cook knows her flat top, and the server may remember your order after one visit.

Live in Studio B, Wednesday at 11am: Hayes Carll

We’re excited to welcome one of our favorite Americana artists back to Studio B. “Like John Prine, Carll has a clever, concise style of communicating serious concepts, frequently through dark humor, displaying world-weary truths underneath wry lyrics. Better still, he cloaks these anecdotes in melodies you’ll be singing after the first spin.” – American Songwriter. Last time he visited, he was joined by members of the Band of Heathens. This time Hayes brings his own 6-piece band to Studio B for a session with Roland just past 11am, before playing the Grey Eagle in Asheville that evening, and the Bijou Theatre in Knoxville on Thursday.

The East Tennessee Market And Diner Where One Family Has Cooked Since 1946

The beef here gets ground in-house, and the burger buns come from the family’s own bakery every day. That’s a pretty good reason to pay attention. The place didn’t even start as a restaurant. It opened as a neighborhood market in 1946, selling groceries, hardware, feed, and gas.
