Different Drum: A Tribute to Linda Ronstadt is a Knoxville, Tennessee–based 7-piece tribute band dedicated to faithfully recreating the music of Linda Ronstadt—note for note. Covering Ronstadt’s greatest hits across rock, country, and pop, the band delivers an authentic concert experience that captures the sound, energy, and emotion of her legendary recordings. With powerful lead vocals, tight harmonies, and a full instrumentation—including electric and acoustic guitars, keyboards, steel guitar, banjo, harmonica, drums, percussion, and bass—Different Drum brings every detail to life with precision.

Formed through a shared love of Ronstadt’s music, the group is united by a commitment to honoring her catalog with accuracy, respect, and heart. Their debut at The Open Chord last December was met with an enthusiastic response, and they’re now building momentum with performances scheduled for 2026 and beyond.
