The Chris Hicks Band:

Chris Hicks has been brandishing his style of rock and roll since his teens. Whether it was in his early groups - Legacy, the Fresh Figs and Loose Change - or with southern rock legends the Outlaws and the Marshall Tucker Band... or as a solo artist, The Hitman has captivated audiences with his netherworld vocals, arena echoing axmanship and his freight train harmonica playing. He's a compelling songwriter of the first order. He's Toy Caldwell and Ronnie Van Zant rolled into one. He is southern rock royalty - and if anyone doubts that, I challenge you to catch his act... for it is the stuff legends are made of!

The Southern Boys Band:

Quite literally they are a "Band of Brothers". The band consists of 4 brothers, Wayland, Kenny, Justin, and Kevin Bailey.

The also features the phenominal guitarist Jeff Roberts. Last, but not least, is Jason "Dixie" Gooch on guitar. Jason went to high school with the Boys.

"The Southern Boys Band remind me of the early days touring with Marshall Tucker, CDB, and Skynyrd, the real deal".. Gary Allen (Charlie Daniels Band and JJ Cale)

"From the first moment meeting these guys you feel magic surrounding them. Then once you see them play, you remember what music is all about".... Southern Fried Magazine

In 2007 the boys all came together with their friends to perform a tribute to George McCorkle who passed away on June 29th of cancer. They dazzled the audiences at both MusiFest and Jam4George.

The Band also features several honorary members who perform with the boys every chance they get: Jo Jo Billingsley, Coconut Harley, and Bruce Wall. For more info go to:

I have been blessed to play guitar with members of Marshall Tucker, Skynyrd, etc. I host several Southern Rock events, a Magazine, radio station, and over 40 websites. But, most of all I am blessed to have all ya'll support me. But my biggest thanks goes to God for making it all possible. A few years back I was diagnosed with Cancer. It really made me re-think my life. Thanks to the man upstairs, it turned out to be a bad case of Valley Fever and not cancer. Since then I have been trying to give back the folks who's music got me thru it all.
