Three Star Revival live at The Hummingbird
Three Star Revival was founded by frontman Ben Gaines and lead guitarist Cameron Moore in 2015. Gaines' gifts as a vocalist and songwriter had already earned him a local following in Knoxville, but things really took off when he met his collaborative partner in Moore. Moore is a veritable guitar prodigy, and a Memphis native who was raised on classic Stax records, and the blues and jazz scene still vibrant in his hometown. After jamming for a few sessions on some more folky and country tunes, Gaines and Moore began to rapidly expand their musical horizons, going electric and incorporating sounds from across the Americana landscape and beyond with forays into funk, soul, r&b, and jazz. Initially playing with a rotating cast of Knoxville musicians, Gaines and Moore solidified their touring lineup with keys player Gregory Walton, bassist Tyler Reddick, and drummer Bo Kitzman. The quintet sprang forth from East Tennessee with an exhilarating live show that always keeps the listener engaged with meaningful lyrics, strong songwriting, and ridiculous improvisational jams from the talented 5 piece group. Three Star Revival is rapidly growing around Tennessee and the Southeast, with a heavy touring schedule and new music on the horizon, this group has only begun to plant its roots in the musical landscape.
2 Finger Jester live at The Hummingbird
2FingerJester is a Warner Robins, Georgia based Hard Rock/Classic Rock cover band. Specializing in the 80's Hair Metal Music & LIVE Show. Since the band’s first show New Years Eve 2001, 2FJ has been criss crossing the states of Georgia, Florida and Alabama. 2FingerJester has rocked everything from the smallest of bars, with less than 100 seats to the biggest of clubs; such as the nationally known Whiskey River in Macon, Georgia, Soho's in Columbus Ga, renowned Hummingbird in Macon, Georgia to the National and State Fairs. Relay for Life concerts, Imagine A Cure Cancer Research Benefits, Ronald Palooza benefit for Ronald McDonald House, Angel City Motorcycle Rally, The Big Pig Jig and other numerous fairs and festivals over the last 16 years. In August 2010, 2FJ was asked to perform by the city of Warner Robins for the homecoming celebration for the 2010 World Series Championship girls softball team. This was a show that was attended by many local dignitaries including Georgia’s Governor Sonny Perdue. In early 2011 2FJ was invited to cross the country to play The Whiskey A Go-Go on Sunset Strip in Los Angeles. This is unlike any bar band you will see, playing the best in 80’s style rock n roll such as Poison, Motley Crue, Guns N’ Roses and many more. 2FJ doesn't just play the music, they give you a concert experience with a non-stop stage show along with crowd interaction and participation. 2FJ shows are in fact one of the best you will see.
The Twotakes w/ Seven Year Witch live at The Hummingbird
Founded in late 2016 in Atlanta, GA, The Twotakes wasted no time releasing their self-made debut album and immediately jumping on the road to support it and spread the word. In the short amount of time since, the band has managed to tour across a large portion of the country, secure an ever-growing following in their region, play with a wide range of national acts, and release two new singles that will appear on the follow up album they are currently wrapping up. With 2019 already shaping up to be a productive year, The Twotakes are showing no signs of letting up any time soon. While drawing inspiration from bands such as Arctic Monkeys, Queens of the Stone Age, The Killers, and Young The Giant, The Twotakes debut album “Submarine Races” provides a unique, alternative rock sound with hints of nostalgia wrapped in a freshness that can’t be ignored. Their new singles show them harnessing some of those themes, while coming into themselves even more and shedding some light on what is sure to be a powerful follow up. With singable hooks, and danceable grooves, The Twotakes aim to move you any way they can. Seven Year Witch is planet earth's last rock n' roll band. Since 2013, 7YW has been relentlessly touring internationally in order to spread their fierce rock’n’roll ideology. In 2018 alone, the four-piece has shared the stage with the likes of Pop Evil, The Gin Blossoms, and WWE’s Jeff Hardy. The band has also made numerous extracurricular appearances through in-studio live-streams, local television, and even Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim in June of 2017. The group has proudly been featured at some of South Carolina’s most notable festivals, such as Fall For Greenville, Anderson Block Party, Spittoono, Merck Mtn. Music Festival, and the Charleston Music Confab. Conquering well over 100 shows a year, Seven Year Witch refuses to slow down.
Blackfoot Gypsies wsg Rod Hamdallah live at The Hummingbird
Nashville’s Blackfoot Gypsies are a rock ’n’ roll band—straight up, no modifiers necessary. With four years, four releases, and countless miles under their belt as a two-piece guitar & drums powerhouse, Zack Murphy and Matthew Paige have recently added fellow brethren Dylan Whitlow (bass) and Ollie Dogg (harmonica), bolstering their passionate, careening, undeniably American sound. Seeing the band live is like watching someone cling to a firehose at full blast or dig their heels in atop a thrashing mechanical bull… holding on for dear life, slowly guiding and reacting to forces at the brink of their control, somehow coming up aces in the end. Blackfoot Gypsies have shared bills with everyone from the Alabama Shakes and Trampled by Turtles to Futurebirds, The Ettes and The Carolina Chocolate Drops. Their second full-length LP, Handle It (coming fall 2014), is the band’s debut as a full-throttle four piece. Drawing inspiration from the downhome roots of the Delta blues and the foreboding ghosts of country music’s past, Murphy, Paige & Co. go to the same well as Zeppelin, the Stones & The Faces, coming up with bucketful of angsty rock 'n' roll that’ll jolt your flatlined heart back into perfect rhythm. Rock and roll is alive. The Blackfoot Gypsies are proof.

$5 DOOR / 18+ / 10pm Bootz & Katz is a Livetronica group with an unmistakable, unique sound, and an obsession with blurring the lines between genres. The group’s fusion of driving electronic basslines and capturing synth melodies with the experience of a live rock band keeps dance floors moving everywhere. BZKZ pulls influences from genres like Synth Pop, Rock, Jamtronica, and Deep House, and is sure to bring the dance party wherever they play! Roshambeaux: /rō/SHam/bō/ a big, rowdy, modern electronically-twisted rock duo from Georgia We no longer live in a world where we care what people think. We live in a world where we care about what we think other people think. We manufacture environments of distraction that are designed to strip us of our individuality. Words like, “Freaks,” “Geeks,” “Forgotten” and “Musical Genre,” we once let proudly define us, now serve to only divide us into categories where we forget who we can allow ourselves to become when we know no one is watching. And this is why we make music. Not to escape from the reality of this world but to redefine it. With pride, we are nothing less than ourselves. To be anything else than that is cheap imitation. Our message is that you don’t have to trade your uniqueness for a sense of belonging. You belong right here. Come Join our Tribe. Our Tribe of Unique Individuals
