Country Roads Take Our Bass Player Home!
|
 Join us at historic Henderson Hall along the Ohio River in Williamstown, West Virginia for the inaugural River Road Music Festival. The festival will feature great music along with local artisans and craftsman in a spectacular setting.
We are really looking forward to seeing this amazing place. Listed on The Nation Registry of Historic Places, Henderson Hall Historic District is a forty acre living legacy to the five generations who have made this place home and features a 29-room mansion completed in 1859. Join us, WV native, singer-songwriter Kate Boytek and Ohio-bluesman Micah Kesselring on September, 14.
 Our bass player, Justin, was born just up the Ohio River, in Wheeling, WV. Before his first birthday, his family relocated further up river to Pittsburgh PA (Go Steelers!) and that’s coincidently where ARS will be headed the next day. We’ll be playing Jurgel’s Rhythm Grille in Warrendale, PA. Just north of Pittsburgh, this venue has established itself as quite the rock’n’roll destination. Great vibe! Tasty food! State of the art PA and lights! This is an old school music venue that actually has all the good stuff the rock clubs back in the day didn’t.

Join us and The Outlaws, November, 16.

"The Atlanta Rhythm Section : The Authorized History" - Is Now Available!
|
|
Seasoned, southern author, Willie G. Moseley, has written an in-depth book about The Atlanta Rhythm Section. Years of research and extensive interviews are infused into the first and only authorized history of the band. A native and current resident of Alabama, Mr. Moseley effortlessly weaves the story of a band whose roots are so close to his own.
Atlanta Rhythm Section’s background is a history lesson of the music scene in the South during the 60’s. Mr. Moseley details how Buddy Buie assembled a core group of incredibly talented southern musicians and developed the creative environment that enabled the ensemble to flourish and truly craft some amazing work. Buddy made real his dream of forming a super group to use as a vehicle for his songwriting skills, musical vision and business acumen. Mr. Buie’s efforts played out like an expertly conducted symphony and crescendo when Atlanta Rhythm Section’s mainstream success peaked in the late 70’s.
What goes up..., well, you can read the rest of that story too. Mr. Moseley’s book delves into the struggles that follow the band’s Top 40 success. He trails the band’s twists and turns throughout the new millennium up to the present day. Published by Schiffer Publishing and available through many online retailers, “The Atlanta Rhythm Section : The Authorized History” is Mr. Moseley’s thirteenth book. A senior writer of Vintage Guitar Magazine, he is News Editor emeritus for The Tallassee Tribune.

A.R.S. Releases 2-Disc CD: "One From the Vaults"
|
| |
|

Often described as a more radio-friendly version of Lynyrd Skynyrd or the Allman Brothers, the Atlanta Rhythm Section was one of many Southern Rock bands to hit the upper reaches of the charts during the late `70s. Hailing from the small town of Doraville, Georgia, the beginning of the Atlanta Rhythm Section can be traced back to 1970. It was then that a local recording studio was opened, Studio One, and the remnants of two groups (the Candymen and the Classics Four), became the studio's house band. One of the facility's head figures, Buddy Buie, soon began assembling the session band. After playing on several artists' recordings, it was decided to take the band a step further and make the group of players a real band, leading to the formation of the Atlanta Rhythm Section. This collection contains 10 tracks previously unavailable on compact disc.
