ABOUT THE CD:
Stevie Hawkins & Georgia Jam features some of the South''s finest guitarists, Spencer Kirkpatrick (Hydra); Barry Richman (Col. Bruce Hampton, Wet Willie); Wayne "Bear" Sauls (Eric Quincy Tate, Buddy Miles); Reddog; Kerry Creasy (Dr. Hector & The Groove Injectors, Tinsley Ellis, Elvin Bishop) on bass guitar; Justin Hawkins (Buddy Miles, Little Brother) on the second drum set and percussion; Rich Iannucci (Dianne Durrette, Freak The Jones) on Hammond B-3; and Stevie Hawkins who has shared the stage with (Leon Russell, Gregg Allman, Albert King) performing on drums and vocals throughout.
"Georgia Jam", the band''s recently released CD, is a collection of rowdy and raw ''as is'' live recordings, capturing the essence and spontaneity of Southern Rock and Classic Rock taken from various recent live performances. Opening with "Rebels Yell" this CD lets you know from the ''git go'' that Southern Rock is alive and kickin'' and they''re loud and they''re proud of it. Moving on into some raucous jams, "Georgia Jam" the title cut, and "Locomotive 22", it''s all aboard the freedom train with Hawkins, Creasy and Spencer Kirkpatrick on a ride of spontaneity and just plain ol'' fashioned down home rowdy rockin'' fun. With EQT guitarist Wayne "Bear" Sauls taking the stage for the (on the spot) instrumental jams "Dancing Bear" and "Grits and Gravy" (collectors take note, Bear Sauls plays bass on "Big Boss Man" and "Going Down") and Reddog''s slide guitar work on "Honest Man," serves us up that deep southern groove.
Transcending from Southern Rock into Classic Rock with guitarist Barry Richman, the influences on his musical evolution of Jimi Hendrix and Robin Trower can be felt on "No Bridges", and Mahogany Rush on "Dragon Slayer" with a little Zappa thrown in for good measure on "The Dazed And Confused".
Stevie Hawkins showcases the full range of his vocal and drumming prowess, taking us with him as he traverses the landscape of the South from the amphitheatres of the foothills, "Going Down" to the acoustic Delta Blues, "CC Rider" and back to the big city rock arena, "No Bridges".
Serving us up their own brand of dessert a "Tribute to James Brown" with live horn section and the nod to Ray on "Everything Is Subject To Change" close out this collection with Hawkins leaving us much as they did.....well fed and completely "satisfied"!

Guitarist and Atlanta native, Spencer Kirkpatrick brings years of stage and studio experience to the group, and an all around electrifying vibe. From being an opening act in the 60''s for "The Beatles" at Fulton County Stadium, Atlanta, GA with his band "Atlanta Vibrations," to recording on the Capricorn label in the seventies with the Southern group "Hydra," to remaining active on stage and in the studio today, Spencer is a force within himself and a highly respected musician.

As lead guitarist for the Eric Quincy Tate band, Wayne "Bear" Sauls, he has rode the wave of some of the greatest years of rock and roll and continues to rock and roll, wowing his audiences.

Rich Iannucci is on keys and Hammond B-3 organ rounding out this dynamic group. Rich is one of the most sought after organists in the Southeast. His stage and studio credits are too long to list. Rich doesn''t emulate anyone, he is "Rich" on the Hammond. Rich is much the showman as he is the player. From the growl of his organ leslie cabinet to him standing on his organ, the crowd is certain to be moved musically and entertained visually. Rich one of a kind and an all time great.
To sum it all in one sentence, Stevie Hawkins & Georgia Jam are professional musicians that are focused on their music and entertaining their audience.
