Overview

We are a Classic Rock Band that takes pride in knocking fans socks off in every performance! Each member of our group has many years of experience, and now has the time to play often, with a new album on the way. Yes, we play Southern Rock, but we also make more modern music our own as well, with our own southern flavor attached... the vocalist, Todd, also known as "Dr T", has a 4-5 octave range, so he also loves 80s metal ! from Bon jovi, to the Cult, to Petty, to Skynard...

Awesome party band!

Better N Grits was an awesome add to our business Halloween party! They had a great mix of songs from different eras. The lead singer had a great voice and an awesome personality to connect with the crowd! We are bringing them back again!

About

Each member of the band has a huge array of past experiences with multiple bands, venues, and talents... "n
Dr T: lead vocalist, acoustic guitar.. "the singing doc"... who started singing in church growing up as a youngun, but who later became a one of the singers in Elijah Ride, a contemporary Christian band that opened up for major acts, such as TobyMac, Third Day, Newsong, Jars of Clay, and others.. playing at multiple music festivals, and amusement parks in the GA area, including Wild Adventures, and Six Flags over GA. He now sings lead vocals for the Band, Better N Grits, because of his love for classic rock, and his southern heritage. He also owns a medical spa, board certified in IM and aesthetic medicine, but has a lot more fun doing his "night job" lol.

Keith Simmons: lead guitar, has played anywhere from Germany to throughout the USA, in several bands over the years. not only does he totally rip up and devour ERUPTION by van halen, but he is also our sound tech guy as well, and somewhat of a genius.

Michael Green: bassist, the newest member of our band, he brings a "heavier tone" to our group... having played in multiple metal bands in his experienced past. So, he can play it all...

Charlie Arwood: drummer, has been playing his sticks since he was a teen... and loves hitting the solos... having played for national talented groups over the years...

Additional booking notes

We have our own lighting, heavy sound equipment, and effects... and we've been doing it all for years.. thus, setup time is less than most. (as is the take down time).. the more electrical sockets, the better, however...

free food and drinks is always helpful, but not totally necessary...
