Southern Boogie Licks for 2026!

We’re starting 2026 down in Florida with a Valentine’s Day show on Anna Maria Island. If you’re not able to make it to this sold out show don’t fret. Head across the peninsula and join us at the Ponte Vedra Music Hall or The Maxwell C. King Center in Melbourne, February 19 and 20.

The Center of Anna Maria Island is a wonderful place placed within a wonderful place. The lovely beaches and famous sunsets aren’t the only reason to visit AMI and the Bradenton Beach area. Amongst the many attractions The Center of AMI provides visitors and locals a myriad of recreational activities. Concerts, sports, bingo, wine tastings! The Center even serves the community as a post-hurricane refuge.

We are very excited to be among the amazing acts St. John’s Cultural Events Inc. brings to the St. Augustine/Ponte Vedra area. Since The Ponte Vedra Music Hall rose from the foundation of a former church in 2011, well over 1000 shows have entertained 100’s of thousands of music fans. And, the flavor forward menu at this recently renovated venue features local ingredients and regional specialties. Check out all the great events here and at the St. Augustine Amphitheatre.

The Maxwell C. King Center in Melbourne, Florida is almost as amazing as its namesake, former president of Brevard Community College and civic leader, Dr. Maxwell King. We’re delighted Elko Concerts Presents has invited us back to this fantastic venue. We hope to see a whole mess of y’all there to boogie with us. Since 1988, The Maxwell C.

"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.
