Highlights from September 4, 2008   Note: Today's photos courtesy of Chris Rector.   Tim White began tonight's show by leading everyone in the "Pledge To The Flag" and reminding us about the upcoming musical events at some of our local venues. The "Pickin' in the Gap" takes place September 5, 2008 at Volunteer Speedway in Bulls Gap, Tennessee and features Balsam Ridge, Pine Mountain Railroad, Highway 11 and Gold Heart. The Pickin' Porch audience got a sneak preview of Gold Heart's performance during tonight's show. Song of the Mountains is having their September taping on Saturday at 7:00pm. Scheduled to perform are The James King Band, Donna Hughes, Larry Stephenson Band, Big Country Bluegrass and Zephyr Lightning Bolts.   First up this evening was Brittany Reilly with Almost Acoustic Band. These fine musicians hail from the great states of Ohio, Florida and North Carolina. They have a brand new album out entitled "Good Old Country Sound" and treated the crowd to several tunes included on it. They picked self-penned songs and well-known Bluegrass numbers like "Blue Ridge Cabin Home" and "How Mountain Girls Can Love". Brittany played mandolin, Billy Gilmore played banjo and fiddle and Brent Hopper played the guitar. Be sure and check out their website for information on how you can pick up one of their CD's or to find out if they will be performing in a town near you.
