Foo Fighters
Foo Fighters was formed by singer/guitarist Dave Grohl in 1995. Grohl originally formed the group as a one-man project after the dissolution of his previous band Nirvana in 1994. Their debut LP for Capitol Records, FOO FIGHTERS arrived in 1995 and instantly went platinum, the group's second album THE COLOUR AND THE SHAPE, in 1997, the third album, THERE IS NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE appeared in 1999. The band released ONE BY ONE in 2002. They followed that release with the two-disc IN YOUR HONOR (2005), which was split between acoustic songs and harder-rocking material. Foo Fighters released its sixth album ECHOES, SILENCE, PATIENCE & GRACE in 2007, with Grohl, Taylor Hawkins, Nate Mendel and Chris Shiflett. Over the course of the band's career, three of their albums have won Grammy Awards for Best Rock Album, all six have been nominated for Grammys and have sold tens of millions of copies. The Foo's are one of the world's biggest bands and recently performed before 85,000 people at London's Hyde Park. Grohl is a loyal Harley-Davidson rider.
ZZ Top
ZZ TOP a.k.a. “That Little Ol’ Band From Texas,” lay undisputed claim to being the longest running major rock band with original personnel, Billy F. Gibbons, Dusty Hill, Frank Beard, always intact and in 2004 the Texas trio was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Billy is widely regarded as one of American finest blues guitarists working in the rock idiom. Dusty has long had an affinity for rock’s origins; his earliest performances as a child included Elvis songs convincingly performed. Dusty is the rock solid bottom of ZZ TOP. Frank has both the roots, is a progressive drummer and has been acknowledged as key to the band’s powerful on-stage and in-studio presence. They’re real and they’re surreal and they’re ZZ TOP.
Georgia Satellites
From their bar band roots to their chart-crashing megahits to their current tour of sold-out shows, The Georgia Satellites have kept the world moving to sweet, gritty, three-chord rock n roll.
Founded in 1985 by Rick Richards, Rick Price, singer Dan Baird and drummer Mauro Magellan, the Satellites quickly launched into stardom on the back of rockers like Keep Your Hands to Yourself, Battleship Chains, Hippy Hippy Shake and others. Critically acclaimed albums and mind-bending performances earned the boys a permanent spot in music history.
After a brief sabbatical following the departure of Baird, The Georgia Satellites returned with a vengeance in 1993. Led by Price and Richards and joined by drummer Todd Johnston, they have packed houses around the world with their blistering brand of Southern rock.
Cydney Robinson
A Texas born singer/songwriter with the soul of The Greats! Cydney drove out to California with a Uhaul attached to the back of her Camaro, a handful of cash bound with a rubber band and a six-string guitar in the passenger seat. With a head full of stories, and a heart full of passion she began writing songs. She now resides in California, and has just completed her first album with the acclaimed producer, ‘Tony Hoffer’ who has worked with other incredible artist such as Beck, Belle and Sebastian, The Thrills, The Kooks, The Fratellis… to name a few. This soulful new record is a unique blend of influences from the turn of the century music in the Appalachian Mountains, and the days of the chain gangs. There is an honesty in her songs that strip you naked. I hope you enjoy the journey you are about to take through the soulful, captivating, and soothing twists and turns of ‘Spokesman for the Shoeless’ as much as I have. She is the real deal!
