   About The Beggars’ Guild


The Beggars' Guild are Atlantaʼs answer to blue-collar music. They play American Rock and Roll in the vein of Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers and Bruce Springsteen. With lyrical stories carried by hooky guitars and an honest voice, The Beggars' Guild draws from familiar influences to write songs that are instantly accessible, yet distinctly memorable.

Playing in South Carolina bars, while preparing to become an Episcopal priest, TJ Edmond decided to trade in his white collar for blue. He grabbed his guitar and moved to Rochester NY for the winter, where he worked in a music store during the day, and wrote songs at night in the studio of the storeʼs basement. The music that came from that lonely winter, would end up becoming the songs on the bandʼs first EP, Breaking Me Down.

One of ten children, TJ returned to the South to follow his brother Jeremiah (drummer for Columbia records band Manchester Orchestra) to Atlanta to put his path into action. With the addition of some like-minded studio and touring musicians, The Beggars' Guild was born.

“There's a certain amount of humility, calling ourselves beggars, but there's also a roguish camaraderie and dignity, of embracing our flaws and each other's alike,” says Edmond.

Since then, the Beggarsʼʼ Guild have toured around the South creating a grassroots fan following, catching the ear of legendary 99X/current WRXP Program Director, Leslie Fram, who has dubbed the band “the next great American rock band.” Having already received the honor of sharing the stage with the Marshall Tucker Band, Col. Bruce Hampton, and the Zac Brown Band, the band recently finished their first full length album, It Only Gets Better From Here, produced by Chris Unck, Bret Hartley, and Dan Hannon.The band is currently preparing to tour to support the album.

It was indeed and amazing concert..... and so wonderful to get to see and hear you (and your new members)play in a concert all by yourselves, and not have to wait through other artists presentations,like at *Radio Live* I'm glad you sold lots of albums...... couldn't get one for myself... $$$$$... but I do still have your signed copy of the *pre-release* .. so I'm glad I have that..... Thank you so much for the picture you took with me.... Your just the best..... I will see what I can do about getting you into a club here.... can't wait to see all of you again.

Blessings

Oh. That's awesome about the 26th and since Duluth is so close I was pretty much planning to go to both of those shows so I'm excited! By the way, just wanted to say the new guys are doing great and they had some hard shoes to fill. So, yeah just wanted to let them know that they definitely haven't disappointed. :)
