‘My Mayfly’ Comes Home to East Tennessee for World Premiere at Film Fest Knox

My Mayfly, the first feature film from writer-director Paula Kay Hornick, will celebrate its world premiere at Film Fest Knox on Saturday, November 14, at 9:15 p.m. at Regal Riviera, Theater 2, 510 S. Gay Street in downtown Knoxville. Starring Adelaide Clemens with Alicia Witt and Johnathon Schaech, it was shot in the Great Smoky Mountains and Knoxville. The film follows a woman whose relentless pace of life has little room for the people and things that matter most. When she embarks on a solo fly-fishing trip to prove something to herself, a harrowing experience in the wilderness and an encounter with a mysterious forest ranger force her to confront the past she’s been running from and reconsider what truly matters.

Patriot Legacies: Barclay McGhee an early explorer, landowner

Barclay McGhee was born Aug. 15, 1760. He was likely the son of Robert McGhee (1759-1819). As a young man, he lived in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. He would have been about 15 years old when the Revolutionary War began in 1775. Few records have been found documenting his possible military service. One record indicates he participated in an expedition in the Ohio River Valley. His name appears on the “Pay Roll of Captain Joseph Ogles Campanie of Ohio Militia on the Expedition to Coshockton for 19 days.” The expedition was documented around April 19, 1781. McGhee would have been 20 at the time. The company consisted of about 40 men on horseback. The men, including McGhee, appear to have been paid about $10 each for the expedition. McGhee was listed as a private. At some point, Barclay McGhee married Jane McClanahan (1767-1835). Jane was the daughter of surveyor Charles McClung, who prepared the original plats of Knoxville in 1790. She was the granddaughter of James White, considered the founder of Knoxville. Barclay McGhee was likely wealthy when he arrived in the area. He added to his wealth through extensive landholdings in Monroe County. According to a 1976 article in

Hensley is back at Carter Fold this Saturday night

HILTONS, Va. — The Carter Family Fold is back in action after a week off for Halloween, and will welcome Trey Hensley & His Bluegrass Band back to the historic venue this Saturday night at 7:30 p.m. Trey Hensley is a Grammy-winning guitarist, singer, and songwriter from Johnson City, Tennessee, whose musical journey has been intertwined with the Carter Family Fold since childhood. A true prodigy, Trey first stepped onto the Grand Ole Opry stage at just eleven years old, performing alongside Marty Stuart and Earl Scruggs. Not long after, he met Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash at the Fold, where he performed with members of the Carter Family and later played at June Carter Cash’s birthday celebration—an early milestone that helped shape his lifelong connection to traditional music. Raised in nearby Telford, Trey began singing gospel at age six before discovering bluegrass guitar, quickly developing the fiery flatpicking style that would become his signature. His early career included several acclaimed bluegrass recordings with his band Drivin’ Force, produced with guidance from Tom T. Hall. Over the years, Trey has shared the stage with icons including Ricky Skaggs, Charlie Daniels, The Oak Ridge Boys, J.D. Crowe, Peter Frampton, and
