The Murray's Light Foundation is excited to be hosting " The Kickoff" along with our presenting Band Sponsor, RESCOM Cabinets!Through fundraising from previous events, we have been able to create the Murray's Light Scholarship by partnering with the Community Foundation of Central Georgia. In addition, we have created opportunities for young people to follow their passions by supporting the Otis Redding Foundation Dream Camp, Macon Little Theatre Kids Camp, and The Methodist Home for Children. Each year our reach has grown, and we are looking forward to continuing this growth.
All proceeds from this event will go to the Murray's Light Foundation so we can continue to provide grants, scholarships, and resources for the youth of middle Georgia.
The Alabama-born, Tennessee-bred Southern rock band, The Vegabonds kick off 2019 with the release of their fifth album (and first for Blue Élan Records) entitled “V.” The band will support “V” with a full year of non-stop touring throughout North America and Europe. Produced by Tom Tapley (Blackberry Smoke, Sugarland, Mastodon) “V”audibly illustrates the band’s unconventional yet contagious brand of Southernrock and highlights the best of The Vegabonds’ unique musicianship, vocals, lyrics and sound. V crosses boundaries of multiple music genres. These vibrant songs travel from sad to soulful; gritty to glorious. It’s a timeless American album in the sense it deals with eerie matters working people endure and captures their salvation in a song. Songs like “Partyin’ with Strangers”, the new single “I Ain’t Having It” and “When The Smoke Clears Up” proves the group’s ability to move people with a story, beat and melody. Vocalist Daniel Allen recently revealed, “I hope fans hear stories in the album. We are in a very unique time in history, and this album touches on the struggle of every day folks doing their best to navigate love, work, beliefs and the ever-changing politics that flood our lives daily. ”The Vegabonds got their start in Alabama in 2009 by playing the college circuit across the Southeastern United States. Their popularity quickly burgeoned to the point where they found their fans singing along word-for-word to their first hits like “Georgia Fire” and “Shaky Hands.” From Ole Miss to South Carolina, students were buzzing about The Vegabonds’ authentic sound and their seemingly effortless ability to bring the house down. Through pure word of mouth, the group’s fan base rapidly grew, and the guys learned they had something distinctive with their eclectic mix of Southern Rock, Country, and earnest songwriting. Their DIY ethic delivered three full-length albums and an EP before partnering with Blue Élan Records for their current release. With a sound reminiscent of Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers mixed with the grit and twang of the Allman Brothers Band, The Vegabonds deliver a sensational performance, with powerhouse guitar riffs and impactful songwriting, night after night. Their hard work and unbridled talents have not gone unnoticed; the group has opened for such notable acts as Lynyrd Skynyrd and the late Gregg Allman and delivered rousing performances at festivals like Peach Festival, Sweetwater 420, Magnolia Fest, Sunfest and Taste of Randolph. In addition to countless dates throughout the Southeast, the band has toured Europe three times, played multiple dates in Canada and have visited every corner of the US.A group of five musicians with myriad influences between them, The Vegabonds are fronted by lead vocalist and songwriter Daniel Allen, with Richard Forehand (lead guitar/vocals), Paul Bruens (bass), Beau Cooper(keys/vocals), and Bryan Harris (drums) rounding out the quintet.
Hailing from Athens, Georgia, rock band Grand Ville showcases an entirety of inherited values from a background of generations of southern musical experience. The band has taken the Southeastern United States by storm in the past year -putting miles on their boots while exploding into new markets.
GrandVille consists of front man, Jackson Tennyson who holds down lead vocals and guitar; behind him, twin brother James contributes vocals as well as playing drums. In addition to the Tennyson brothers, Ashton Mann holds it down on bass and vocals, and Sam Yarborough plays keys, organ, and backup vocals, too.
The band has released 5 Singles, gaining hundreds of thousands of streams on Digital Streaming Platforms and they are currently finishing off their debut album in Nashville, TN, set to release later in 2022. A tried and true rock n roll band, GrandVille has a timeless sound that is sure to win over music fans!
