Established in 1982, the ETSU program ignited renewed excitement about the region’s rich musical heritage. Student band members often include students from the region, but also from across the United States and foreign countries as well. The bands perform at festivals across the Southeast.

The program’s alumni have won Grammy awards, and honors from the International Bluegrass Music Association, the Academy of Country Music, and the Country Music Association. The program’s award-winning alumni include Adam Steffey, Amythyst Kiah, Kenny Chesney, Becky Buller and Hunter Berry among many others.

The Live from Northeast State performances are produced during the fall and spring semesters by Entertainment Technology students as a capstone project. All performances begin at 7:00 p.m., in the Sound and Lighting Lab of the TEC building.  All performances are free and open to the public.
