Divided by 5 is a new age Atlanta ga based FUNK/SOUL/JAZZ/ROCK/BLUES band with sprinkles of evrthang else that grooves! Their diverse lineup of musicians creates a sound like no other! A show band full of energy and entertainment to keep you dancing!
Barry Richman, an Atlanta transplant from the Big Apple, can be seen performing his psychedelic blend of original music all over the Southeast. Traveling from one venue to the next festival or concert, leaving a following of fans and a crowd of locals hypnotized, mesmerized, and in awe with the lull of his melodious free sounding, rockin' guitar..."sounds that make your blood start to flow".
The XLs featuring Bill Sheffield has been a fixture on the Atlanta music scene for over 50 years. With ties to such blues regality as Muddy Waters, B.B. King and Big Mama Thornton — and a solid reputation as a performer and songwriter in his own right — he is regarded as one of Atlanta's premier blues musicians. He’s released eight albums so far and Stomp and Stammer critic Tony Paris once wrote that Sheffield has a voice “that immediately grabs you by the heart and holds you close.”
James Calvin and the Ultimates Band. James Calvin started singing and playing in bands in 1965 in Macon, Georgia, home to Otis Redding, James Brown, Arthur Connelly, Little Richard, The Allman Brothers and the rest of the Capricorn Records artists.
Marty Manous is a rare talent and total package; he is a skillful songwriter, soulful vocalist, and virtuosic guitarist! Creating a sound infused with Rock, Blues, Pop, and guitar hero stylizations (think Jimi Hendrix, Eric Johnson, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Joe Bonamassa and Gregg Allman, meets John Mayer and Chris Stapleton), he is an electrifying performer and business savvy artist in tune with today’s music industry. “Marty Manous is one to watch for on the scene. One of the next ‘young lions’ hungry to make his mark on the guitar world.” –Chris Duarte
