Who better to bring back to life the sounds of the 1990s H.O.R.D.E. Tour than people who actually played on it? For fall 2022, Atlanta's The Core explores the music from the tour that proved a new generation of musicians could carry the torch inspired by classic rock. Wayne Healy (Freddy Jones Band, H.O.R.D.E. '94, guitar, vocal ) and Clay Fuller (Allgood Music Company, H.O.R.D.E '93, guitar) were part of that groundbreaking tour. Now they set out to recreate the music that fueled a generation joined by an equally accomplished crew of veteran Atlanta area musicians. The Core will recapture the energy and excitement of that tour by revisiting music by groups on that tour like The Allman Brothers Band, Aquarium Rescue Unit, Big Head Todd and The Monsters, Black Crowes, Blues Traveler, Gov't Mule, Lenny Kravitz, Phish, The Samples and Widespread Panic as well as material from the Freddy Jones Band and Allgood.

Rounding out this all-star cast of musicians is Chris Queen (Phil Keaggy, Dreams So Real) on piano and B3 organ and anchored by the solid rhythm section of drummer Kevin Leahy (The Bodeans, Sugarland, Shawn Mullins), percussionist Rob Sumowski (Billy Pilgrim, Shawn Mullins, Kevn Kinney), and bassist Bill Taylor (The Bitteroots, Jupiter Coyote.)

Bringing Alex Lillie Music to the roster for 2022!

Hailing from Warner Robins, GA, Alex Lillie has spent the bulk of the past few years writing and recording new music for his upcoming debut album “Stones in the Ocmulgee”. Influenced by classic and southern rock, blues, jazz, country, and bluegrass, the album and live show offer a glimpse into a wide array of core American music genres. The album was recorded, and largely written, at Rowehouse Studio in Athens. David Rowe, formerly of Deacon Brody and The Spins, wore the many hats of engineer, producer, co-songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist. The pair are currently working on new material for a follow up album and will be playing the newer songs in their live shows along with a few favorite tunes by other artists.

Look for Alex Lillie shows later this summer!

As a soft breeze on a Georgia summer night, Alex Lillie’s music wraps the listener in a warm embrace.

From ne'er-do-wells living outside the law to the grace of second chances, Parts & Labor mix the swampy tone of southern rock with the highly percussive grooves of funk. The band'

02/24/2022

So pleased to announce that Parts & Labor is joining the B. Taylor Artist Management roster for 2022. We've already got them on some shows this summer.

Based out of the musical hotbed of Macon, GA, Parts & Labor have been offering up their blend of rock n' roll, soul, and blues since the Spring of 2019. Heavily influenced by bands such as the Allman Brothers, The Band, the Grateful Dead, and plenty of funk, blues, and jazz along the way, Parts & Labor have been creating quite a buzz in Macon and beyond. The band first got together for a one-off gig in Macon for a private party in April of 2019. The vibe was good and they decided to keep the fires lit while they kept finding their own voice and getting the lineup just right. The Covid-19 pandemic gave the guys time to start writing and rehearsing original music which has been a total game-changer for the band. Their debut album, recorded at Capricorn Studios in Macon and mastered by John Keane in Athens, features 10 original songs and is available now...Be on the lookout for a show near you!

The best tools for musicians and the best music for everyone else.

They have spent the bulk of the pandemic writing and recording a brand new album that will be out later this year and it is simply breathtaking. I got a chance to see them and the new material at a show in Atlanta recently and I was blown away. Really excited about working with these guys! For now, check out the first release from the new record: https://youtu.be/woCNQ_wtiro Neal Fountain https://www.calvertfountain.com

This is an original tune written by Neal Fountain and Leah Calvert.Recorded at Amplify Studios with Chris Byron, engineer.

The Bitteroots
Since its founding in 2008, the band’s groove-oriented approach to rock ‘n’ roll has drawn comparisons to the Tedeschi Trucks Band, Melissa Etheridge and Janis Joplin and has landed The Bitteroots onstage at some of the Southeast’s most prestigious festivals, including the Atlanta Dogwood Festival, the Sweetwater 420 Festival, the Summer Shade Festival, the Inman Park Festival, Stone Mountain Park’s Yellow Daisy Festival, and The Amplify Decatur Music Festival.

Driven by Laura Dees’ powerful, soulful lead vocals, The Bitteroots also include founding members Bill Taylor on bass and Mike Davis on drums. Saxophonist Derron Nuhfer joined the group in 2014, helping round out what has become the band’s unique sonic signature. In early 2018, The Bitteroots added the tasteful yet hard-driving PJ Poellnitz on guitar.

Original albums include “French Fries” (2010), “Central of Georgia” (2012), “After The Rain” (2013), “Under The Big Sky” (2014) and "Derailer" (2019).

Allgood Music Company emerged from Athens, GA in the early 1990s, taking its high-energy guitar-driven blues-rock across the nation to the tune of roughly 200 shows a year. After securing a deal with A&M Records, Allgood was part of the 1993 H.O.R.D.E. tour along with Blues Traveler, Widespread Panic, and Col. Bruce Hampton and the ARU. Over its eight-year initial run, Allgood took the stage at places ranging from Red Rocks to the Ranch Bowl [for real - a bowling alley] often appearing with other new bands like Dave Matthews Band, Gov't Mule, and Phish. At other times, Allgood opened for rock giants like The Band, Neil Young, and the Allman Brothers Band.

10/26/2021

Mt Pilot formed in middle Georgia in 1992 with members from Nuclear Fishin’ and the Piedmont Cooks as well as other local musicians in middle Georgia. The band played the circuit from 1992-1995 developing a loyal following with live shows that are still talked about to this day. Made up of the 6 core members Chris Moorman, Mark Trawick, Terry Bragg, Scott Park, Evan Godbee and Travis Bryant, the band is back and stronger than ever. Performing mostly original songs played by seasoned musicians always leaves their audience wanting more.

“Mount Pilot has a penchant for writing songs” was quoted in a Gateway Macon article sighting the band as one of the Top 5 Influential Bands of the 90’s. Concentrating on the music first was the most important goal while allowing the fans to forget about their problems and escape into the magical fusion of the lyrics and the individual musician’s interpretations of the songs. Each musician has a storied and diverse background including Master’s degrees in music to Master’s degrees in living on the road that gives a perfect recipe of musical distinction.

The band has shared the stage with acts including Drivin’ and Cryin’, Brother Cane w/Chuck Leavell, The Derek Trucks Band, The Winters Brothers Band, The Outlaws and many others developing deep connections to top musicians across the state. Musical guests join them on stage regularly leaving their fans wondering who might be sitting in at the next Mount Pilot show.
