Tasty World Uptown
Sure, Tennessee is home
our hated football rivals, bi
who cares about that when
they make good music?
in point: The Dirty Guv'nahs.
Formed in 2006 and coming straight out of Knoxville, The Guv'nahs sound like a young
Black Crowes playing in Lynyrd Skynyrd's front yard. Voted "Best Band in Knoxville"
for two years running, they've made the rounds from Atlanta and Macon to a recent
Bonnaroo trip and back again. Despite having recorded with David Barbein town earlier
in the year, this will be The Guv'nahs' first time playing Athens. From the sound of it,
they should put on a damn good show Saturday night.
According to guitarist Jusrin Hoskins, The Guv'nahs were named by a fan whd was
interviewed by a local station after the band's first show. "This music is so dirty, I want
to go home and burn my own house down," the man said to a puzzled newsman. When
asked his name, he replied "The Dirty Gu/nah."
Joining The Guv'nahs are Nashville's The Jompson Brothers. They've been around these
parts before, impressing crowds with their rough-and-ready classic rock. Ifr a guarantee
that the music will be loud and the tunes will be sweet with Steel Drivers frontman Chris
Stapleton at the helm.
Rounding out the roster is SolShakr, a heavier rock/psychedelic act from Atlanta. A
newer band on the scene, its sound is like shooting pure, unabashed rock and roll
your veins. The group has a way to go before it can break out from the pack, but f
the looks of it, this is one band that can handle the pressure.
So, if you're looking for a good way to celebrate the first week of classes or need
a break from all the incoming students, this could be your rock and roll
week. The show starts at 10 p.m. Get ready to get dirty. [Jordan Stepp)
