The Whiskey Rebellion is an award-winning five piece band from Virginia that plays high-energy acoustic music. Influenced by many styles including folk, blues, bluegrass, jazz and rock, the band creates a unique sound for the live setting, comprised of skillful picking and three-part harmony vocals. According to Style Weekly Magazine, “Songwriting, handled mainly by guitarist Ryan Phillips, leans heavily toward storytelling. Bank robberies, jail time, mill fires – the themes are familiar, but the lyrics are fresh and captivating.” Mary Simpson, fiddler and vocalist for the band, performed with Yanni on his 2011 North American spring tour.
