Biography
Brand New Box of Matches is an independent bluegrass band out of Knoxville, TN.

Elizabeth Sherman’s lovely vocals shine on haunting ballads and raucous honky-tonk inspired tunes, while Ryan Hardison’s catchy banjo & guitar playing along with his wry lyrics will have your toes tapping and face grinning.

The duo has three full length albums on CD and all the major streaming services. 2022’s Strike One is a collection of classic bluegrass and country tunes, 2023’s Flame & Water is a completely original album that covers everything from relationships to ghost stories to substance abuse. Their original album, Light It Up!, was released on April 5th, 2024 and several songs off the album got significant radio play across North American, Europe and Australia.

Their latest original single, Cold Tonight Here in Georgia, is an exciting bluegrass tune that features Elizabeth’s powerful vocals and some hot banjo picking from Ryan.
