Redd and the Paper Flowers formed in 2021 when Redd Daugherty met Gavin Gregg in Knoxville, Tennessee, later adding Katie Adams and Colleen d’Alelio after an open mic. Their debut album Appalachian Bell Jar was released in May 2025 and they describe their sound as “Living Room Folk,” blending Appalachian folk, jazz, and folk‑grass. They will perform at Compass Point’s Backroom Bar on September 28, 2026.
