Long-time sponsors MolsonCoors (Miller Lite and Coors Light) bring us an incredible night of Rock and Roll, Country, Americana and “Rhinestone Rock.”

What is “Rhinestone Rock”? Keep reading. The answer can be found below.

But first, we welcome to the stage local talent from Driveway Thriftdwellers.

Driveway Thriftdwellers hail from Madison and Milwaukee (and Tosa). Milwaukee Record says, “They’re a country band. And a rock and roll band. And if your local record store has an Americana section, you’ll probably find the band’s albums filed there. They started as a cover band. Now they play almost all originals. But they still love playing four-plus-hour cover sets at Northwoods honky-tonks once in a while, too.”

Driveway Thriftdwellers’ vocalist-guitarist Jon Knudson says, “I had a band called Polydream back in the day and we stopped playing around 2009 or so; I took a big road trip in a camper all around the country for like six months, came back and played duo shows with my friend from high school. We started calling ourselves Driveway Thriftdwellers, and then my brother Ryan told me he had a pedal steel that he wanted to learn how to play, so he asked if he could play some shows with us; he got very good at it and we built the band around it. I had also started playing ukulele with our original bass player Stephen in his backyard, and we realized that we both really liked the Flying Burrito Brothers and the same brand of old country and rock. We were originally a 9-piece when we started.”

If a perfect genre name of musical style doesn’t quite fit Driveway Thriftdwellers, perhaps they could create one, much like our Nashvillian headliner Jenny Teator did with “Rhinestone Rock.”

Jenny Teator is a force—a dynamic artist whose music defies genre boundaries and resonates with raw authenticity. Often compared to powerhouse voices like Alanis Morissette and Miranda Lambert, Jenny has carved out a sound that is uniquely her own. Her music blends the timeless glamor of country with the gritty edge of rock and roll, creating a fusion that is as captivating as it is unforgettable. With soulful vocal melodies, electrifying guitar riffs, and grooves that command you to move, Jenny’s artistry is a testament to her ability to connect deeply with her audience. The Voice of Rhinestone Rock

Born with an innate passion for music, it was Jenny’s move to Nashville from St. Louis eight years ago that truly set her on the path to becoming the artist she is today. Her musical vision became crystal clear as she honed her craft in the music scene, playing a variety of historic venues throughout the city, such as The Bluebird Cafe, EXIT/IN, The Listening Room, 3rd & Lindsley and to name a few. She also took up a residency at BB King’s Blues Club, all while writing and recording her original music along the way.

As a nationally touring artist, you may have seen Jenny at festivals such as Denver Day of Rock, Mile of Music in Appleton, WI and Summer Camp Music Festival in Chillicothe, IL where she secured her performance by winning the Nashville competition “Road to Summer Camp.” Her song “Daughter of the Devil” was featured in HBO’s “The Hype” and her song “Whiskey With Me” led her to collaborations and performances with brands such as Jack Daniels, Bulleit Bourbon, George Dickel and more. The music video also premiered on CMT.

Jenny can hold a crowd of thousands in the palm of her hand through her compelling storytelling in her original music and jamming out to a familiar favorite. She has shared the stage with various acts such as Maggie Rose, Hannah Wicklund, Cowboy Mouth, Restless Road and Candlebox with her full band, and traveling the country putting on acoustic house concerts along the way. “Music is therapy for me and so many people. If I can give value to others like that, my desire to make music will never fade.”
