Flat River Band and The Kody Norris Show

Flat River Band consists of three brothers Andy, Chad and Dennijo Sitze, who grew up in a multi-generational family band. Performing alongside their parents and grandparents, they held residencies at Silver Dollar City in Branson, Missouri and at Dollywood in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. Throughout their tenure in music, the Missouri natives have charted #1 hits on the bluegrass gospel charts and have opened for The Chicks’ Natalie Maines, Alison Krauss, Ricky Skaggs, Rhonda Vincent, TG Sheppard and more.

The trio’s songs can be found in the 2018 movie The Least of These, A Christmas Story, featuring Duane Allen (The Oak Ridge Boys), Deborah Allen and Tayla Lynn (Loretta Lynn’s granddaughter). The band recently released a new five-song EP, Sights and Sounds, which has given the trio exposure in the spotlight of the Americana and Country formats.

Deeply rooted in North American
folk music, Kody Norris has crafted an
original performance that harkens
back and tips a hat to the traditions
created by Bill Monroe, Jimmy Martin’s
showmanship, the Stanley Brothers’
harmonies, performances of the Grand
Ole Opry and a bit of Vaudeville. Top
notch picking is center stage, but
humor and visual flash are part of the
entertaining package. Always clad
in colorful, tailored suits adorned
with rhinestones, ties, classic hats
and ornate boots, the band earns its
moniker as a “show.” The brand is
traditional, clean cut, acoustic and always
entertaining.
