MySpace a place for friends

Rock & Roll has always had a way of bringing people together. A sort of karmatic unifying quality, if you will. It's marks spots in time that sometimes stay hidden deep within yet just the slight flicker of sound can transport the mind back in time instantly. When guitarist Fred McNeal and vocalist John "Stoney" Cannon first met in 1988, neither imagined that rock & roll would keep the pair connected for the better part of two decades.

Combining a long musical history and common love for all things rock & roll, Cannon and McNeal formed Augusta, Georgia band G-City Rockers in 2005 quickly releasing Kings, Queens, and Vagabonds, a personal tribute to many shared influences through romped up remakes of classic tracks by such artists as Conway Twitty, the Rolling Stones, Kiss, and Freddy Fender. While G-City would hold out until early the following year to make their on stage debut, by fall the band would tour venturing as far North as New York City. By year's end G-City Rockers had more out of town dates under their collective belts than hometown gigs.

2007 saw the band come to a crawl as McNeal and Cannon spit time between G-City and other projects. With a handful of shows the band limped into the new year with a new energized attitude. The band would land a spot on the annual 12 Bands of Chistmas CD compilation with a rollicking take on Christmas classic Up on the House Top and close out the year at the charity's live event. ..

For G-City Rockers it's all about the rock & roll. Through life's twists and turns it's been the band's one common guarantee. The main commonality that has continued to bring Cannon & McNeal together since the late 80's.

Just like Hank Ballard, they can't picture being without it.
