Hanging with Our Friends in 2026!

On most of our shows this year, we get to share the stage with some great bands. Firefall, Orleans, Jefferson Starship, Pure Prairie League, Pablo Cruise. Did we miss anybody? The Pyramid Incident!? How did we miss The Pyramid Incident? We will be visiting some larger venues in 2026 and doing some BIG rock shows with some of our good friends.

We’ve be running up and down the highways with these bands for decades. Firefall is a 70’s rock institution propelled by the amazing guitar work of Jock Bartley. Firefall’s breakout hit “You Are the Woman” broke in 1976 just a few months before ARS’s “So Into You” rose into the charts. Orleans had a huge hit when “Dance With Me” waltzed into the top ten in 1975 and again with “Still the One” in ’76 solidifying Orleans’ place amongst the best bands of the era. Pure Prairie League’s 1975 hit “Amie” only took three years to find the charts but now is a part of the American song book.

We don’t get to see California-based Pablo Cruise very often. Their chart presence peaked with “Whatcha Gonna Do (When She Says Goodbye)?” in 1977 and “Love Will Find a Way” in 1978. They join Orleans and ARS at Ovens Auditorium, part of Charlotte NC’s, Bojangle’s Entertainment Complex. Another Cali band, that we thankfully are seeing a lot more of lately, Jefferson Starship is led by founding member David Freiberg and longtime drummer Donnie Baldwin. Cathy, Chris and Jude round out this amazing band’s lineup. They will smack you with more hit songs in one night than you can imagine. Expect songs from every era of this legendary group’s history.

Check out our tour date page for a list of all our shows. Anticipate a full-night brimming with hit songs, good vibes and lots of old memories on these multi-band shows. Summer starts out with us and some of our friends on a southeast swing through Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee and in GEORGIA at The Fred in Peachtree City one of our favorite places to play or see a show! ARS will be up East and in New England a bunch in 2026 including another visit to The (Great) Kate for a solo show in August, YEA! We go to Las Vegas to celebrate America’s 250th birthday at Westgate Resort and Casino! Deep down South in Louisiana and all the way up North to Michigan. For us a favorite part of our job is seeing this beautiful country and meeting some of the people that inhabit it. The good old USA is full of good folks. We hope we see y’all in 2026!

"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.
