Chip McLain --
Rough Edges Band "Rough Edges is firmly established ……demonstrate the potential to reach out to far wider audiences." – Bluegrass Unlimited/February 2008 issue East Tennessee’s contemporary bluegrass band, Rough Edges, consists of Travis Sutton from Cumberland Gap on bass and lead vocal, Chip McLain from Rogersville on guitar and tenor vocal, Jeff Webb from Newport on banjo and baritone/bass vocal, and Clint Hurd from Rogersville on mandolin and baritone vocal.
The band performs progressive and traditional bluegrass, and the guys pride themselves on their ability to move seamlessly from Monroe covers to original material to grassed-up versions of Beatles and Rolling Stones tunes. As polished as this material may be, the band works hard to maintain a raw energy in their live shows, and according to McLain, “It’s a whole lot of fun to have rough edges!”
When asked what makes them distinct, the group always answers with references to their time spent working on harmonies. As driving as their instrumentation may be, the Rough Edges Band is first a vocal band. Special past performances for the band have been the Renfro Valley Barn Dance, the Tennessee Valley Fair, headlining with country group sensation Diamond Rio and their hour-long public television appearance on the Jamming at Hippie Jack’s show.
The band’s debut recording is Heyday, which includes four originals by Sutton and McLain. Bluegrass Unlimited magazine has described the Rough Edges Band as “firmly established within their Tennessee home base” and suggests that “the contents of Heyday clearly demonstrate the potential to reach out to far wider audiences.”

They were great! We were impressed with their musical talent, both instrumental and harmonizations. They also did a great job bringing in the crowd. This was a 50th wedding anniversary and young and old were dancing and having a great time.

Everyone in attendance agreed, Rough Edges did a terrific job at our event. Not only was Rough Edges talented, they showed up on time, were courteous, and handled all matters in a professional manner. I would definitely recommend Rough Edges to others, and would use them at my future events.
