The Charlie Daniels Band

There are few artists who can claim a more successful and rewarding career than Grammy winner Charlie Daniels. His most famous single, “Devil Went Down to Georgia” went down in history as a country music legend. He followed up his first chart-topper with more hit singles like “Uneasy Rider,” “The South’s Gonna Do It Again” and “In America” and continues to produce popular country and gospel music today.

Born in North Carolina in 1936, singer/songwriter/fiddler Daniels began writing and performing music early on. By his early twenties, he had already started his own rock ‘n’ roll band and begun touring around the U.S.

Daniels is famous for his blend of rock, country, bluegrass, blues and gospel music to produce a unique sound that has been recognized across multiple musical genres. He began recording music in 1972 with his debut album, “Honey in the Rock,” which launched his first major hit single, “Uneasy Rider.” Since then, it’s been nothing but success for Daniels.

In 1979 he won a Grammy Award for Best Country Vocal Performance for the hit song “Devil Went Down to Georgia.” He has been awarded three Country Music Academy trophies and been twice voted their Touring Band of the Year, won a Dove Award for his gospel album, “The Door,” and released multiple smash-hit albums including three gold albums, three platinum albums, and three multiple platinum albums.

Today, Charlie Daniels is one of the greatest music industry legends of all time. After 50 years as a musician and 35 years as a recording artist, Daniels has released nearly 50 albums and sold over 18 million copies. He continues to enjoy overwhelming success touring across the United States.

38 Special

Since its formation, 38 Special has been blowing audiences away with bold and edgy tunes like “Second Chance,” “Caught Up In You” and “If I’d Been the One.” Powerful alternative rock hits early on popularized 38 Special’s unique blend of blues-rock and southern boogie and awarded them status as one of the most successful rock bands of the 80s.

The band originated in Jacksonville, Florida nearly three decades ago. They started out playing music that had hints of southern rock but quickly evolved into a loud and greasy arena rock style. Since then, the band has enjoyed widespread success, selling over 15 million albums, releasing multiple hit songs and even writing and recording a movie soundtrack.

Their collection of number-one hit singles landed 38 Special a permanent spot among the greatest rock ‘n’ roll bands of all time. Today, they have released fifteen albums, including their most recent, “Drivetrain.” The band continues to play over 100 tour dates annually and prides itself on leaving its audience members as blown away and exhausted as the band members are when they leave the stage.

Shooter Jennings

Country/southern rock singer Shooter Jennings has compiled a long list of hit songs like “4th of July,” “Walk of Life” and his newest hit, “Slow Train.” Son of popular country music performers Waylon Jennings and Jessi Colter, no one can claim that Shooter Jennings lacks the musical experience to be a star.

Jennings spent most of his childhood on tour with his parents. He began playing drums at age five, picked up a guitar at 14 and discovered rock ‘n’ roll at age 16.

In 1997, Jennings left his home in Nashville for Los Angeles to pursue a career in rock ‘n’ roll music. Once in L.A., he formed a southern rock band called Stargunn, which he described as "Lynyrd Skynyrd mutating into Guns N' Roses." The band gained immediate popularity and toured for six years, releasing several independent albums before disbanding in March 2003.

Following the breakup of Stargunn, Jennings decided to return to his country music roots. In 2005 he released his first solo album, “Put the ‘O’ Back in Country.” His second and third albums, “Electric Rodeo” and “The Wolf,” both debuted at number 12.
