Vocalist Jimmy Farrar burst onto the scene in 1980, when he joined Molly Hatchet. Farrar’s singing gave a new edge to the band and Molly Hatchet reached even higher levels of success with the Beatin’ the Odds and Take No Prisoners albums. His stage persona, patented mike stand spin and fierce voice has secured Farrar’s place as one of the best singers in Southern Rock history.

Guitarist Jeff Carlisi is one of the founding members of .38 Special. His guitar solos and signature riffs allowed the band to become a staple of classic rock radio and reach superstardom. Currently Carlisi hosts Camp Jam every year, which enables fans to perform with some of their musical idols.

Charlie Hargrett’s howling guitar has been a staple of Southern Rock for over 30 years. One of the founding members of Blackfoot, Hargrett can be heard playing some of the most memorable solos of all time on « Train, Train » and « Highway Song. » Hargrett’s busy touring schedule has kept him at the top of his game and his playing is as edgy and exciting as ever!

Bob Burns was in the original line up of Lynyrd Skynyrd and can be heard playing his hard-hitting style of drums on the band’s biggest hits, “Freebird” and “Sweet Home Alabama.” Burns was alongside fellow members of Lynyrd Skynyrd when they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in March of 2006. Burns continues to play with various artists in Florida and Georgia.
