Chuck Leavell has been pleasing the ears of music fans for more than 40 years now. In addition to being the music director and keyboardist for the Rolling Stones, his keyboard work has been heard on the works of Eric Clapton, John Mayer, The Allman Brothers Band, The Black Crowes, George Harrison, The Indigo Girls, Blues Traveler, Train, David Gilmour, Lee Ann Womack and many, many more. Leavell is also a published author, long time tree farmer, co-founder of the popular website The Mother Nature Network, and keeps busy with his advocacy work on behalf of the environment.
Randall Bramblett has also been creating iconic music for decades, with one of his early partnerships working with Chuck Leavell in Sea Level. Bramblett’s talent earned him the respect of rock’s finest. He toured in the Gregg Allman Band, recorded/toured with Cowboy, spent 16 years in Steve Winwood’s band, wrote an album with Roger Glover (Deep Purple). His songs were covered by Bonnie Raitt, The Blind Boys of Alabama, Bettye LaVette, Hot Tuna, Delbert McClinton, and more. He’s been the horn leader for Widespread Panic, and also tours in Marc Cohn’s band. He’s released 13 albums of his own original music to much critical and popular acclaim.
Nick Johnson, Bramblett’s long time guitarist and phenom, just stepped into the big leagues, becoming the guitarist for Widespread Panic while Jimmy Herring recovers from cancer treatment. This has led many to discover the wide range of Johnson’s guitar talents. He adds much firepower and artistry to both Leavell’s and Bramblett’s music.
Rounding out the band is Michael Steele on bass and Gerry Hansen on drums, who have played with both Leavell and Bramblett for years. Gerry Hansen also produced most of the Bramblett catalog. This combination of players is not often seen in the Atlanta area and promises an evening of incredible music.
