Local alt-country band Kentucky Avenue debuts its quartet lineup when original members Dave Ries (lead guitar/vocals) and Stella Schindler (lead vocals/guitar) are joined by fiddler Michael Taylor and bassist Greg Watkins for performance at Villain & Saint on Friday, Aug. 16.
Greg has sat in on selected performances with Kentucky Avenue for quite some time, but the addition of Michael’s fiddle is brand new for the band which formed in 2016.
