Tallahassee, Florida based Black Jacket is not your run-of the-mill corporate and wedding band. Tony O'Donnell leads this high-energy, horn band that plays every type of fun dance song from the 40's to today. Black Jacket plays Sinatra type swing and Top 40 Hip Hop with everything in between-plenty of Motown, 80's, 70's, beach, even rock and country. Want something tasteful, but very fun? Book Black Jacket - another Music Garden exclusive!

 

Blackberry Smoke’s knockout blend of Southern rock and country, demonstrated on songs like “Good One Coming On,” would be right at home on any Shooter Jennings, Hank Williams Jr. or Montgomery Gentry album. “Bottom of This” and “I’d Be Lyin’” suggest these guys can turn a stone-country phrase (If I swear that I’ll never drink too much, I’d be lyin’ . . . lyin’ next to you). They also offer a swampy take on “Who Invented the Wheel” that skews grittier than the version contained on Trisha Yearwood’s Jasper County, and instill a surprising bluegrass influence throughout “Prayer for the Little Man”.  Visit Blackberry Smoke on their website and on Myspace.

Clay is from Panama City, Florida.

What started way back in 1969 during the Summer of Love, a group of young musicians from Tallahasse had a dream of becoming the best band in the nation. After forty years and nearly 70+ of some of the greatest players seen anywhere, ELI has continually ripped up stages across the nation with their own blend of rock and roll with an attitude and a touch of the party! Their unique brand of showmanship and definitive musical skills brought them to the forefront as the tour opener for the mega-rock group KISS! Their amazing musical performances and over the top stage show have made them a crowd and club favorite for decades. Even forty years later, ELI is rocking harder than ever and continues to blow their thousands of longtime fans away and grab hold of new ones along the way!

The Band that not only breaks the mold, but crushes it to powder, as they march on to a revivalist view of music with new weapons. No apologies, no prisoners. HOLDCELL is not afraid of funk and groove, nor hook and melody. There are no holding of fingers to the wind to see what the trend is. HOLDCELL carves its own path while giving reverence to the genius of the past. The history has been read and is seared into the memory. Now HOLDCELL is poised to take its place in the archives of the greatest bands known on planet Terra.

In 1996, King Cotton was formed in Tallahassee, Fla., by the nucleus of vocalist Tony Young, bassist Todd Bevis and drummer Tom Corbett. During the early years, the band experimented with a couple of different guitarists and even a keyboard player. But the band's goal has always been to take traditional blues and put a modern spin on it. In December 1997, King Cotton recorded and released its debut CD "10' Tall," at Possum Tracks Sound Studio in Sopchoppy, Fla. - the "second home" of Tom T. Hall.

During the next three years, the band sold more than 3,300 copies of "10' Tall" while playing the festival and club circuit within the tri-state area (Florida, Georgia and Alabama). The album was a "Top 10" seller for several weeks on local charts and received air play from more than 30 radio stations within their touring region. King Cotton also was voted "Tallahassee's Best Blues Band" in 2000 by Break Magazine.

King Cotton's second effort - "Ultra Blues" - was released in 2001. It too was recorded at Possum Tracks Studio - this time by legendary Nashville singer/song writer Linda Hargrove, who engineered, mixed and oversaw the entire project. The CD was mastered, care of EMI/Capitol Records, at Oceanway/JVC Mastering on Sunset Blvd. in Hollywood, Ca.

The band logged more than 600 shows during 1997-2003, while sharing the stage with national acts including the likes of B.B. King, Buddy Guy, Styx, 38 Special, Survivor, Molly Hatchet, Edgar Winter, Clarence Carter, Percy Sledge, George Clinton, Atlanta Rhythm Section, the Outfield, Rick Derringer, Tracy Lawrence and Daryle Singletary.

King Cotton's style is rooted in the blues, but it mixes southern rock boogie and tinges of outlaw country to form its own infectious, North Florida sound. Mixing old school feeling with a contemporary flavor, King Cotton's music is a fresh sound enjoyed by all ages, and its high-energy, live performances leave audiences not only hearing the music - but feeling it as well.

After taking a short hiatus from 2004-2006 and then making some recent personnel changes, a new lineup of King Cotton has been formed. Newcomers Frank Jones on guitar and Clyde Ramsey on organ and harmonica have given the band a much-needed shot in the arm and given the group back its original, old-school sound.

Be on the lookout and catch Tallahassee's newest "bad boys of blues" at the Thunder Beach 2010 Spring Rally.
