That means shell season is at peak in September, October, December, January, February, March, and April.

Kentucky Band The Creekers ‘Follow the Sound’ as Their Career Rises Alongside a Roots Music Revival: ‘It Gives Us Hope We Can Make a Living at This’

Just a couple of years ago, the members of six-member Kentucky band The Creekers were balancing gigs in tiny Kentucky clubs with day jobs, as the group’s Tanner Horton (vocals and lead guitar), Anna Blanton (fiddle), Scott Sutton (vocals and banjo), Allen Hacker (vocals and rhythm guitar), and brothers Ashton and Jagger Bowling (bass/vocals/cajon) held down jobs ranging from work at a distribution center and furniture factory, to forestry, music and shoeing horses. Valentín Elizalde's Legacy Gets a New HBO Max Docuseries & More Uplifting Moments in Latin Music But over the past year, thanks to their viral bluegrass-drenched hit “Tennessee,” they’ve checked off several bucket list performances, including performing at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium and Colorado’s Red Rocks Amphitheatre, and making their Grand Ole Opry debut. “If you would’ve told us that when we were in Pat’s Snack Bar in Manchester, Kentucky, that we would play the Grand Ole Opry in two years, I’d probably say, ‘Give me what you’re drinking,’” quips Hacker. “That was a special moment for us to be able to share that with people we love and play the holy grail of country stages,” adds Horton. Blanton says, “I don’t know if any of us ever
