We're a Knoxville, TN band that plays original, Appalachian roots-based music that goes well beyond the "tradition." We've been called modern folk, Americana, folk rock, folkadelic, "an Appalachian Belle and Sebastian"... We've been accused of having a unique sound and strong song writing. But it doesn't really matter what anyone else says, take a listen for yourself here on the site. Or better yet, come out to a show.

"I have no idea what to call the Lonetones. They're acoustic musicians who don't always play acoustic. They're folk musicians with a love of modern psychedelia. Whatever they are, they're great." -Wayne Bledsoe, Knoxville News Sentinel

THE LONETONES: Canaries

Top 10 album of 2009 - Wayne Bledsoe, Knoxville News Sentinel. "Call this the Lonetones' own "Tusk." Acoustic folkies led by singer-songwriters (and married couple) Sean McCullough and Steph Gunnoe show their eclectic and sometimes electric side. It's quixotic and enchanting throughout."

Top 10 local release of 2009 - Steve Wildsmith, Maryville Daily Times. "Dissonance and Appalachian music don't sound mutually beneficial, but the way The LoneTones have put them together...., they do." To read the whole article click here.
