Pitney Meyer with special guest The French Family Band
2026-02-05 19:30 - 23:30 | Harken Hall, 514 Madison Station Blvd, Madison, TN, 37115, United States
Experience the heartfelt songwriting and brother-tight harmonies of Pitney Meyer, the collaborative bluegrass project of Mo Pitney and John Meyer. With special guest The French Family Band, this is an evening of roots music, acoustic mastery, and timeless storytelling.

Rooted in friendship and the shared language of traditional bluegrass music, Pitney Meyer brings a rare kind of harmony—the kind that comes from two voices and two hearts that have spent years shaping songs together. The duo’s music is steeped in authenticity, musical detail, and an emotional depth that’s impossible to fake.
Their debut album, Cherokee Pioneer (2025), was recorded completely analog inside an 1837 hand-hewn log cabin once owned by Johnny Cash—the Storytellers Hideaway Farm in Bon Aqua. Over just three days, surrounded by wood, wire, and stories soaked into the walls, Pitney Meyer captured what makes bluegrass timeless: real voices, real instruments, and real life poured straight to tape. With contributions from standout musicians including mandolinist Nate Burie, fiddlers Ivy Phillips and Jenee Fleenor (five-time CMA Musician of the Year), the album is a testament to musical craftsmanship at its most soulful.
Joining them for this special performance is The French Family Band, bringing their signature blend of country roots, family harmonies, and pure down-home charm.
Together, it’s an evening of storytelling, picking, heart, and tradition—the kind of show you remember long after the last note fades.

Seating options include:

Floor Seating – located on our Hall’s main Floor level, includes a reserved seat with a front facing view of the stage
