Biography
Freddie Vanderford, Shane Pruitt, Brandon Turner, and Matthew Knights...a friendship and musical history spanning decades that produces Mill Billy Blues.
They are being referred to as The Travelin' Wilburys or The Highwaymen of the Piedmont. Four individual performers with a kinship spanning decades went into the studio on a whim and recorded a "down and dirty" blues and folk record. With all four having been raised in South Carolina mill towns or farm communities, their earliest influences were "front porch pickers", playing Piedmont style blues, country, gospel and folk music.
They honed their musical styles over time and have become what some consider four of the cornerstones of the Upstate SC music scene. Folk Heritage Award winner singer/harmonica player Freddie Vanderford, regional bluesman Shane Pruitt, guitar whiz Brandon Turner, and singer/songwriter Matthew Knights make up the all acoustic group known as Mill Billy Blues.
