Join us in The Neon Steeple for the Uncle B’s Drunk with Power String Band Show featuring Bryan Simpson with Nathan Belt, Leah Blevins, Alex Lambert, Aniston Pate and more!

Uncle B’s Drunk With Power String Band Show is Bryan Simpson’s irreverent trippy-trad tent revival of a musical experience currently in residence in the Neon Steeple at Chief’s on Broadway in Nashville, Tennessee. Aka. the Damned Ole Opry – the variety show features a wildly talented slew of colorful and creative musicians, singers, and songwriters that tear things down to the stud level all in the way of a grand ole time.

Each month, Uncle B’s honors a legendary record with renditions of classic songs performed on banjos, fiddles and mandolins. It’s hay bales and hell yeahs! Imagine Billy Strings meets Barnum and Bailey. Hee Haw and Half Baked had a baby. It’s best witnessed instead of discussed. Come lay eyes on it.

This Month the Drunk with Power String Band play Tyler Childers’ Purgatory with special guests Leah Blevins, Alex Lambert, Aniston Pate, Nathan Belt and more!

Nathan Belt

Country music traditionalist and Texas native Nathan Belt honed his skills across the North Texas Opry circuit, later moving to Tennessee and becoming a fixture in Nashville’s music scene since the early 2000s after signing his first major publishing deal.  An incredible solo vocalist and also lead singer/frontman of the fan-favorite band Nathan Belt & the Buckles, Nathan can be found sharing his love of traditional, classic Country music in well-known music venues all over Nashville, Robert’s Western World, The Nashville Palace, Chief’s on Broadway, Acme Feed & Seed  and Music City Bar & Grill in Music Valley to name a few. He’s currently a featured performer and host on Nashville’s famous General Jackson Showboat, too.  Nathan’s love and respect for classic Country is front and center with his recent singles “Clean Livin’ Is Killin’ Me” and “I Can’t Stand No More”. And there’s a lot more where that came from, with new self-penned music he’ll be releasing throughout 2025.

Leah Blevins

Imbued with the grit of vintage country music and the grace of gospel, Leah Blevins’ debut album is a scrapbook of sorts, a collage of feelings and memories from a decade spent working in the big city of Nashville while missing the small town she left behind. “It’s a timestamp of my twenties,” says the Sandy Hook, Kentucky, native. “Here are all the stories and all the experiences from that decade. Here are all the mixed emotions I’ve felt about things I’ve gone through and people I’ve met along the way.” First Time Feeling turns tribulations into what Blevins calls “bundles of triumphs,” which lend weight to her well-observed lyrics and gravity to her soulful vocals. “It’s about coming into womanhood, but it’s more than just a coming-of-age story. It’s me discovering that I’m capable of writing a song on my own. I’m capable of staying sober. I’m capable of all these things that once felt so far out of reach. Within those walls these songs had to be unapologetically honest.”

Alex Lambert

Alex is a Texas born soul singer/songwriter & guitarist. Alex spent much of his childhood learning to sing, play & write from his grandfather who was a country singer/songwriter himself. Coming from Texas he was strongly influenced by classic country, soul, blues and r&b. Alex cut his teeth in Los Angeles writing songs for artists like Justin Bieber, Carly Rae Jepsen, Chris Rene, and more, but is now pursuing an artist career of his own in Nashville, TN.

Aniston Pate

Aniston Pate is an American Country Singer/Songwriter, born and raised in Dalhart, TX. She is currently pursuing artistry and songwriting while attending Belmont University. She finds inspiration in Texas red dirt country artists like Wade Bowen & Randy Rogers as well as women like Miranda Lambert and Lainey Wilson. Since moving to Nashville she has frequented popular writer’s rounds, played rowdy downtown shows, and written with some of Nashville’s best songwriters on music row. Aniston’s music is natural, honest, and about real life. She will tug on your heart strings one minute and have you wanting to two-step the next! When listening you’ll find a mix of honest lyrics and a real and raw sound.

Bryan Simpson

Modern American eclectic singer-songwriter Bryan Simpson is an artist whose sound unnervingly explores an evocative amalgamation of southern folk, bluegrass, classic country and indie eclecticism, with the playful swagger, relatable storytelling, and thoughtful introspection of his heroes which include John Hartford, Tom T Hall, Jeff Tweedy, and of course Bob Dylan.

Bryan’s songs have netted praise from all corners: The Huffington Post wrote “Bryan’s original undertakings are reminiscent of the whimsical and whip-smart work by David Byrne and Jim James”. While SeattlePi claims Simpson’s music echoes “Bowie, and Beck in the melodies, moods, and arrangements. The quest is entertaining and thought-provoking.” His genre-spanning career has included making records and touring as a singer/songwriter with luminaries as diverse as The Black Keys’ Dan Auerbach, bluegrass giant Ricky Skaggs and Mumford and Sons. Since leaving his hometown of Ft Worth Texas with only a fiddle, guitar, mandolin and a box fan to his name, Simpson has had many of his original songs recorded by country music standouts like Blake Shelton, Tim McGraw, Hailey Whitters, Kenny Chesney, George Strait, Brandy Clark, Old Dominion, Stephen Wilson Jr., with several of them ending up with a number 1 beside their name on the Billboard and Music Row charts . He has also been awarded NSAI’s prestigious award of “10 Songs I wish I’d Written”. His songs have easily totaled over 500 million streams at this point.

This year Simpson released his first record under his own name. “The Oldest”, released in April, is a concise 11 songs in length, produced by Eddie Spear (Zach Bryan/Brandi Carlisle) and takes Simpson’s shade tree kaleidoscopic storytelling center stage.
