You've already heard the amazing sounds, heartfelt stories, and history of Appalachian North Carolina and Tennessee...now in the 5th installment of our Exploring Appalachia series, Tim Goodin, an independent singer-songwriter, brings the musical traditions of Southeast Kentucky to The Opry. Tim grew up immersed in the Appalachian hills where his love for music began...he was heavily influenced by the old mountain hymnals, developing a voice reminiscent of the great Hank Williams Jr. and an authentic blend of country, bluegrass, and Americana playing that has gained widespread attention.

His debut album, Son of Appalachia, reached #11 on the iTunes Country Album Chart and #8 on the Billboard Bluegrass Albums Chart, and held a place on the iTunes Top 200 for 27 weeks. His follow-up album, True Stories and Flat Out Lies, is a masterpiece of classic country that was produced by James Barker of Tyler Childers' band.
