Formed in late 2010, Mandolin Whiskey is a blend of all things acoustic that stimulate the soul; Mandolin, Harmonica, Acoustic Guitar and Bass. We play music made popular by those legendary bands such as Eric Clapton, Steve Earle, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Bob Seger, Van Morrison, Neil Young, The Beatles, Marvin Gaye, Santana and others.

The Band;

TC Conner-Lead guitarist/Vocalist:

TC is a native of Central Kentucky and is a veteran musician who has played in bands such as Spider Ridge, Linefork, The Doghouse Three, and others. His soulful leads and great harmonies will exhilarate your senses. They give you that fist-pumping, make you cry and shout for joy feeling, and are close in power to that of Eric Clapton and Santana. Seriously!

Chris Booher-Bassist/Backup vocals

Chris is an experienced, versatile, smooth bass man. His experience includes a wide range of music including Bluegrass (Linefork) and Blues (The Gordon James Blues Band). His style will remind you of Steve Earl's Bassist (Kelly Looney).

Jim Watson,Kennerdell, Pa.-Rhythm Guitar/Harmonica/Back-up vocals/Songwriter:

Picture Neil Young on harmonica and you get a small piece of the picture. Jim is a multi-talented musician who has played in several bands including the Rock Farmers. A native of Mercer County, Jim is the perfect compliment to the Classic Rock icons like Van Morrison, Seals and Croft, Neil Young, et.al.

Phillip Hartsock-Lead vocals/Rhythm Guitar/Mandolin: A native of Southeastern Kentucky, Phil was introduced to Bluegrass Music at an early age while he was yet in his mother's womb. His Mother, Barbara Gilliam, played guitar when she was pregnant with him. He was influenced greatly by his cousin, Bluegrass recording artist Merrell Boggs of New Outlook, and other relatives. Other influences during his teens were Lynyrd Skynyrd, .38 Special, Fleetwood Mac, et.al.. Phillip has been a resident of Mercer County for 20 years now and has been a guest singer with area bands including The Mudd Brothers, The Availables, Linefork, and others. His southern style and strong vocals inject a twist of bluegrass, rock, soul, country, and folk into the band.
