This episode of Big Blend Radio’s \"Beyond the Stage\" episode features the full lineup of Jada’s Priest, a powerhouse tribute band dedicated to the legendary music of Judas Priest.
Recorded onsite at Mars Theatre Brewing Company in Mars Hill NC — a restored 1940s theater transformed into a brewery and live music venue — this episode of the Beyond the Stage series dives into the passion, musicianship, and energy behind one of Tennessee’s premier metal tribute acts.
Hosts Mr. & Mrs. Wild sit down with all members of the band including “Jada” Leslie England (vocals), Bruce England (guitar), Ella Marston (guitar), Pepper TN (bass), and Karman Gossett (drums) to talk about their musical backgrounds, performing iconic Judas Priest songs, and what it takes to recreate the sound and spirit of one of heavy metal’s most influential bands.
Based in Knoxville, Jada’s Priest is committed to honoring the Metal Gods through electrifying live performances that celebrate the raw energy, soaring vocals, and twin-guitar attack that helped define classic heavy metal.
Hosted by Mr. & Mrs. Wild — owners of The Lion & The Rose Bed & Breakfast and cohosts of Big Blend Radio’s Adventures in Asheville Podcast — this episode celebrates live music, tribute artistry, and the enduring power of metal culture.
