Hillbilly Bad will perform at Winged Deer Park’s Lakefront Festival Plaza Goulding Amphitheatre from 7-9 p.m. Thursday, June 27.

Hillbilly Bad is a professional but footloose band focused on providing high-quality entertainment through its original songs and covers. The band’s East Tennessee members enjoy bringing their talents together for an energetic mix of country and rock, or “Crock,” as they have dubbed it. Their other musical offerings range from bluegrass to blues and everything in between.

The band includes Frog Nelms, drums and percussion; Tim Kirkland, bass and vocals; Lynn Shirley, acoustic guitar and vocals; Benny Wilson, harmonica and vocals; Quentin Horton, guitar and vocal; and sound engineer Robert Winkle.
