If you are a follower of Honey Blue- You’ll recognize Jared as the front man of this great coastal group.

Grandpa’s Cough Medicine does not play your grandpa’s bluegrass. They fall squarely into what is being called “outlaw bluegrass” by many folks. With songs about corrupt politicians, executing would-be thieves, heavy metal induced killing sprees, the joys of pickin’ and many a drinkin’ song, GCM veers away from many of the traditional subjects so often heard in bluegrass music. You won’t hear a gospel song, nor a cabin song. You’re much more likely to hear about a jealous lovers misadventures with a chainsaw, or the exploits of a crooked lawman. The sound of flat picked guitar, Scruggs style banjo and thumping upright bass bring an organic yet aggressive backdrop to their two part harmony vocals. Live shows are full throttle affairs, filled with blazing instrumentals and original tunes. Their first CD “Jailbird Blues” was lauded in their hometown of Jacksonville, FL as one of the “Top Ten Local Albums of 2011″, and their second album “The Murder Chord” was released in August of 2012 to high acclaim.

“Waller has made a history delivering sweet southern music to the good folks of Atlanta and beyond. Whether it is a soothing ballad, soulful Southern jam or rock infused country twang they can do it all. Known for their live shows, Waller draws the listeners in and takes them on their musical voyage. Their songs are tailor made sing-a-longs and will have the packed house tapping their toes. A devout group of fans follow this local band around so get their early because the house will be full.”

– Chris Martin, Examiner

Sitting at the keys and singing with a soulful passion influenced by the great piano legends of our time Matt Farr brings high energy and a feel good vibe to the stage. Growing up on the shores of South Florida, influenced by cases full of tapes and shelves full of old LP’s ranging from jazz greats, to 60′s rock icons, to reggae masters, and modern day hipsters, Farr’s music is a blend of soulful lyrics, classic grooves, and vintage tones.

“Kevin Kozel, senior writer for MusicReviews.Com says, “I think that Matt Farr would put on a really nice outdoor show any time of year. A nice cold one in the heat would go nicely with this sound.”
