The Next GAC Star - Bye Week

Quite literally they are a "Band of Brothers". The band was founded by 4 brothers, Wayland, Kenny, Justin, and Kevin Bailey. The boys grew up being inspired by their Uncle George McCorkle of the Marshall Tucker Band. The newest member of the band is their cousin Justin McCorkle (son of George McCorkle). Last, but not least, is Jason "Dixie" Gooch on guitar. Jason went to high school with the Boys. The boys have been very blessed to share the stage and become dear friends with some of Southern Rocks greatest musicians including: Jo Jo Billingsley (Lynyrd Skynyrd Band), Gary Allen (Charlie Daniels, JJ Cale), Tommy Crain (Charlie Daniels Band), Denis and Donnie Winters (Winters Brothers Band), Lewis Ross (Wet Willie Band), Dangerous Dan Toler (The Allman Brothers, Gregg Allman Band), Pat Ellwood and several other members of Marshall Tucker Band, Artimus Pyle (Lynyrd Skynyrd Band), Harley (Coconut) Lamoureux (Harmonica Player for Skynyrd, CDB, etc), Jimmie and Jane Van Zant (Southern Rocks Royal Family), and the list goes on. "The Southern Boys Band remind me of the early days touring with Marshall Tucker, CDB, and Skynyrd, the real deal".. Gary Allen (Charlie Daniels Band and JJ Cale) "From the first moment meeting these guys you feel magic surrounding them. Then once you see them play, you remember what music is all about".... Southern Fried Magazine In 2007 the boys all came together with their friends to perform a tribute to George McCorkle who passed away on June 29th of cancer. They dazzled the audiences at both MusiFest and Jam4George. The Band also features several honorary members who perform with the boys every chance they get: Jo Jo Billingsley, Joe Bar-Nadav, and Bruce Wall. Dedicated to the late great George McCorkle We Miss You George The Boys wish to dedicate this in memory of Their Aunt Becky Welshans who lost her battle with Cancer April 1st. Aunt Becky was an amazing woman, talented vocalist, and a loving soul. We will miss you dearly.
