Waynestock is a three-day music festival held annually at Relix Variety Theatre in Knoxville, Tennessee to raise funds for in-need individuals and music-related nonprofit organizations!

Shayla McDaniel is a singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer crafting guitar-driven indie pop to soundtrack your life. The Knoxville, TN-based artist’s music has been featured in MTV’s “Siesta Key,” Disney+ “Big Shot,” The CW’s “Nancy Drew” and retail and dining spaces around the world.

The laid back artist’s honeyed vocals and indie pop-rock hit that sweet spot between major and minor tonalities with a pan-genre appeal. Pristine vocals, breezy pop grooves, big hooks, and soaring melodies contribute to her pop allure and soulful, guitar-driven alt-rock sensibility.

In a short period of time, the young artist has garnered prime accolades. She has opened for Joy Oladokun, performed at Rhythm N’ Blooms Music Festival with the likes of Young the Giant, Dave Barnes, Gogol Bordello, Birds of Chicago, and others; Sunset on Central; Dogwood Arts Festival; the Waynestock Festival; Women in Jazz Jam Festival; and live on-air at WUTK 90.3 FM, WDVX 89.9 FM, and WOZO 103.9 FM, among others. Shayla has been in Knoxville Music Warehouse’s Top 16 song charts; been voted by fans as Knoxville’s Favorite Band; won numerous Knoxville Music Awards; and earned prestigious awards nominations from CityView Magazine and Knoxnews.

14 years ago this month, almost to the day, Medford’s Black Record Collection played its last full-band show. We’re incredibly happy, and honored, to be playing at Knoxville’s finest local music festival, Waynestock, as our first full-band show since. We can’t think of a better place to be doing it, or a better lineup of friends and great musicians to be doing it with. On bass, we’ll have MBRC original Clint Mullican, and on drums, our old pal Hunter Deacon. We’ll be dusting off the old tunes, so we hope to share them with you. Please spread the word, and come out to this great festival which always supports a good cause, showcases Knoxville’s talent, remembers music scene friends we’ve lost, and serves as the family reunion. You never want to miss Waynestock.
