Tennessee Valley Authority
The Davis brothers have been playing music for as long as they can remember — guitars, drums, keyboards, and anything else they could get their hands on. Now, as high school seniors, they’ve assembled a unique group that’s far more than just another school band - they’re a fast-rising five-piece that’s bringing heart, grit, and musicianship back to the stage. What started as a few friends jamming in the garage has quickly turned into one of the most talked-about young acts in central Arkansas. Together with friends Rome Foster, Hartford Lowe and Henry McFarlin, they’ve built a sound that’s raw, tight, and impossible to ignore.
Anchored by the powerful, steady percussion of Fallon Davis on drums and driven by Scott Davis on lead guitar, keyboards, and vocals, the band blends southern grit with a classic rock heart. Rome Foster adds rhythm guitar and harmonies, Hartford Lowe holds down the groove on bass and adds his own vocal punch, and Henry McFarlin rounds out guitar and vocal duties— five young musicians with a shared love for live performance and great songs.
Their set list moves effortlessly from The Band to The Clash, weaving timeless melodies with high-voltage crowd favorites — including a blistering take on Free Bird that has already become a local legend. Drawing on the spirit and showmanship of Old Crow Medicine Show, the band mixes rootsy authenticity with modern edge. They play every set like it’s Saturday night in a packed bar, even when it’s just a high-school party.
With early gigs drawing big crowds and word spreading fast — even catching the attention of venues in Nashville — Tennessee Valley Authority are proving they’re not a novelty act, but a genuine new voice in American roots-rock revival. And they’re just getting started!
Scott Davis
Lead Guitar, Keyboards, Vocals
Scott grew up surrounded by guitars, amps, and the constant hum of a house that never seemed to stop making noise. From the first time he picked up a beat-up Strat, he was hooked. He’s the kind of player who’s always chasing a new sound — whether it’s dialing in tone on an old amp, layering keys, or running late-night experiments in GarageBand. Scott leads the band’s songwriting, pulling from southern rock, old-school blues, and whatever records happen to be spinning that week. On stage, he’s the spark — switching from guitar solos to keys without missing a beat and pushing the band to hit that next level every show. Off stage, he’s the one constantly thinking about what’s next — new songs, better gear, bigger shows. Even though the band’s still young, Scott approaches music like it’s his job, because for him, it kind of already is. He’s got one foot in high school and the other on the gas pedal.

Fallon Davis
Fallon Davis
Drums, Percussion
Fallon keeps the heartbeat of TVA steady and strong. He’s been behind the kit since he was barely tall enough to reach the pedals, learning early on how to drive a band instead of just keeping time. Fallon’s drumming brings groove and power — he’s influenced by everyone from Levon Helm to Taylor Hawkins, with a touch of his own unshakable feel. While his brother Scott handles melodies, Fallon makes sure the rhythm never slips. On stage, he’s focused, locked in, and completely in her zone — the kind of drummer who plays for the song, not just to show off. Outside of the band, Fallon’s the calm voice of reason, usually the one reminding everyone to tune before a set or load out before curfew. He brings both balance and backbone — the steady force that keeps TVA’s sound grounded, no matter how wild the crowd or how late the night.
Rome Foster
Rhythm Guitar, Vocals
Rome brings the glue. His rhythm guitar work is what ties the band’s sound together — tight, soulful, and built on feel more than flash. He’s the kind of player who listens just as much as he plays, always finding the right spot to make the song breathe. Rome’s been friends with the Davis brothers for years, trading riffs and jokes long before the band ever had a name. His love for the classics runs deep — The Clash, The Allman Brothers, Tom Petty — and you can hear all of that in his tone and phrasing. He also adds harmonies and backup vocals that fill out the band’s live sound. When he’s not on guitar duty, he’s helping keep everyone loose, cracking jokes, and reminding the group that it’s supposed to be fun. Every band needs someone who knows when to take things seriously and when to just play, and that’s Rome all day long.
Rome Foster
Hartford Lowe
Hartford Lowe
Bass, Vocals
If TVA has a secret weapon, it’s Hartford. He’s the groove anchor — a bassist who understands that less can say more. His lines hit deep, keeping the whole band glued together without ever getting in the way. Hartford grew up on a mix of old-school funk, Southern rock, and a healthy dose of punk energy, and you can feel all of that in the way he plays. He’s also got one of those voices that surprises people — raw and soulful, the kind that gives the band’s harmonies a real punch. Hartford’s easygoing on the outside, but he’s serious about the craft — always tweaking tone, experimenting with pedals, or figuring out how to make a small amp sound huge. When the rest of the band is pushing hard, Hartford is the one who locks in and makes it all make sense.
Henry McFarlin
Guitar, Vocals
Henry joined TVA right as things started to take off, and he fit in like he’d been there from the start. His guitar tone cuts through the mix — bright, gritty, and full of character — while his vocal work rounds out the band’s sound with warmth and edge. Henry’s musical taste runs all over the map, from rootsy Americana to British punk, and somehow it all blends into what TVA has become. He’s known for showing up to practice with a new riff, a new lyric idea, or a new way to make a familiar song sound fresh. On stage, Henry brings an energy that pulls the crowd in — part swagger, part sincerity, and all heart. He’s the kind of player who can make a simple chord progression feel like a story. As the band keeps growing, Henry’s becoming a key part of their songwriting and that unmistakable TVA live sound.
