The (Duane Allman/Dickie Betts era) Allman Brothers Band, The Stones, Jerry Garcia, Beatles, Zep, Who, Dylan, Doors, CCR, Hendrix, Clapton....most of the good 60s/70s stuff that still gets listened to.
Since 1992, Southbound has drawn crowds with their own versions of hippie-rock standards. The band broke away from their demanding schedule in 2002 to record a self-titled disc of self-penned material. We have been incorporating originals into the sets for sometime now and been getting great response, says drummer Tim Schulz. Their own songs stay true to the roots of their covers. The musicianship is top-notch, and although the production level is high, an undeniable looseness keeps the record accessible to those who enjoy the Allman Brothers-like feel that has made the band so popular. Southbound is like the house band for the entire city of Milwaukee, playing practically every week at bars, clubs, and festivals. Though the group packs its sets with crowd-pleasing covers, it has amassed enough songs for a CD of original compositions. So, in addition to songs by the Allman Brothers, the Grateful Dead, and the Rolling Stones, fans can now shout for Southbound songs. Most bands in this area of music never make it past their first never ending gigtuned-jam, but Southbound has stood the test of time, evolving and remaining fresh, maintaining their following, and drawing in new fans show after show. * From the Shepherd Express and the Onion.

As always it was a treat to open for such a great band at the BBC last night. We packed that house together! You guys are great and always a blast to dance to.
Ever wondered what to do in the event of a nuclear threat?
A while ago I found stuff that inspired me to make this film:
