Brand New Box of Matches

Knoxville based duo Brand New Box of Matches delivers classic-county inspired acoustic-roots music with a modern twist. Elizabeth Sherman’s lovely vocals shine on haunting ballads and raucous honky-tonk inspired tunes, while Ryan Hardison’s catchy guitar playing and wry lyrics will have your toes tapping and face grinning.

The duo has three full length albums on CD and all the major streaming services. 2022’s Strike One is a collection of classic bluegrass and country tunes, 2023’s Flame & Water is a completely original album that covers everything from relationships to ghost stories to substance abuse. Their newest original album, Light It Up!, was released on April 5th, 2024. The first single from the new album, their rowdy honky-tonk tune “Come on Home”, has been featured on radio stations across North America, Europe and Australia.

Brand New Box of Matches appearances include The WDVX Blue Plate Special, Bluegrass Planet Radio, The Marshall Depot, Boones Creek Opry, Cumberland Gap Folk Festival, Wears Valley Fall Festival, The Mountain Opry, The Dogwood Arts Festival, and many more.
