WHEELING - For nearly a decade, Muscadine Bloodline has delivered a soulful and potent form of country music indelibly colored by their Alabama heritage. Charlie Muncaster and Gary Stanton bring that soulful, potent music to the Capitol Theatre in Wheeling on Saturday, July 18. Tucker Knisell from Preston County West Virginia opens the show at 7:30 p.m.
In the making of their latest body of work, the Mobile-bred duo dug deeper into their roots than ever before, dreaming up songs inspired by the places they know best: the blue-collar melting pot of their coastal hometown, bustling Cajun fishing villages and desolate timberlands, the untamed and idyllic spaces where they ran wild as children. This is the latest turn in a career that's included releasing three acclaimed albums, earning a standing ovation at their 2018 Grand Ole Opry debut, and selling out shows across the country as an emphatically independent act. "The Coastal Plain" emerged from an acute strengthening of their creative vision.
"Porch Swing Angel" and "Can't Tell You Know" are just two of the songs that have caught the attention of fans throughout the country.
The special guest for the evening, Knisell, was born and raised in the hills of Preston County, West Virginia. This guitar strumming lyrical country artist embodies his Appalachian home in his musical talent. He taught himself guitar around the age of 11 growing up in a home with a family of talented musicians who have toured nationally and internationally in the country music circuits.
When you're not in awe of his incredible playing ability you will be by his true blue country lyrics. You can hear the inspirations of his song writing which he accredits to folks like country greats George Straight and Merle Haggard as well as new age acts like Sturgill Simpson.
