The Back of the Book by GreenbrierLast month Greenbrier kicked off The Back of the Book with what has now become an CD Release Concert celebration.  The event was held at the Historic Mills Auditorium in Gatlinburg, TN where over 1300 fans attended and over 1200 CDs were sold.  Guests included: Marty Raybon, Trey Hensley, Danny Barnes, Dr. Eric Littleton, Whaley’s son, Turner, and many more. The concert featured songs from The Back of the Book including new fan favorites, Barabbas, Breakin’ Jail at Midnight, You Take the Lead and The Back of the Book to name a few.

The group has been honored with their highly entertaining performances and they always seem to have big surprises for the audience which fans have come to love.  The CD release concert was no exception as the group kicked off the song, Next To You Next To Me, then Marty Raybon joined the band on stage leading the song he made famous with the group Shenandoah in the mid 90’s. 

Greenbrier is one of the most popular bluegrass bands in the East Tennessee area, but due to high demand elsewhere, they are now performing select dates around the country including California, Wisconsin and most recently, a recent sold out Atlanta show with Carrie Hassler & Hard Rain.

Greenbrier has one previously released CD, I Want to Know More released in 2005 and Whaley has numerous solo projects including: a live performance DVD/CD, Jimbo Whaley & Friends released in 2007, The Kings of Orebank released in 2006 and his self titled album released in 2005.
