The Steele Cookin' Band plays Northeast State July 21.

Northeast State’s annual “Hot Nights, Cool Music” concert series keeps rolling, or cooking, into the hot July nights. The Steele Cookin’ Band serves it up hot with a performance on Friday, July 21 at the Ballad Center for the Performing Arts theater on the Blountville campus next to Tri-Cities Airport.

With roots based out of Southwest Virginia, the Steele Cookin’ Band (SCB) is a soulful rock, blues and jam band. The concert is free and open to the public. The music starts at 7:00 p.m., with doors opening at 6:30 p.m.

SCB is a sizzling musician’s band with energy, professionalism, and tone that audiences love and respect. They are music fans themselves and love artists that stay true to their music and message.

The band is highlighted by the guitar of Teddy Steele who delivers tone and tenacity to his bluesman reputation. The vocals of Rebecca Tinsley are versatile and powerful and are always greatly accompanied on the keys by Hoss Kitts. The rhythm section of Ashley Steele (bass) and Tom Pridgen (drums) provide the groove to make audiences move.

Collectively the band has shared the stage for over 10 years rocking and rolling through West Virginia, Virginia, and Tennessee. SCB are music lovers themselves. Their appreciation of influences such as Susan Tedseschi, Steve Ray Vaughn, and Bonnie Raitt takes audiences on a melodic blues journey.
