Sternwheelers to bring unique sound to stage

The Sternwheelers will perform a live concert in the Coleman Music Centre, Gurteen on Wednesday, August 5th at 8 p.m..

The group grew out of the Irish music session scene in Nashville. Members developed a friendship in the Music City pubs and soon decided to pool their various experiences to create something truly unique.

Sean Cunningham grew up in his father’s pub in New York City. He learned to play tin whistle and flute in the basement, picking out old Pogues tunes but quickly discovered the amazing Irish session community and had the opportunity to be mentored by some of the finest Irish traditional musicians in New York.

Josh Jernigan has been a student of drums and percussion since age 9. He spent his life living between Nashville and Annapolis, MD until he eventually settled in Nashville during college and fell in as a drummer in the many genres of Middle Tennessee’s music scene.
