Redd & The Paper Flowers is an Appalachian Folk / Livingroom Folk band from Knoxville, Tennessee with members Katie Adams (upright bass), Colleen d’Alelio (cello), Gavin Gregg (mandolin), and Redd Daugherty (guitar).

The band met in 2022 through a local open mic and mutual friends, and they just released their debut album, Appalachian Bell Jar, a record that is a testament to East Tennessee and greater Appalachia’s beauty, struggles with government support, and their experiences in the area.

The band has grown extremely close over the past three years, particularly in touring: In 2025 alone, they're on the road for 22 weeks out of the year. The band also grew through the tragedy of Redd Daugherty losing her dear friend, Jason Cooper, who owned a local Knoxville music store named Rush’s Music, which has been a staple of the Knoxville music community since 1958. From Coop's tragic death, Redd found out he willed her the business, his estate, and his dog, Ando, who passed in April 2024. Redd owns, operates, and works at Rush’s alongside Katie and Gavin during their off time from touring, which services over 90 schools.

Their second album, Dead Little Thing, highlights the struggles from this experience and released in January 2026
