3rd Annual Bluegrass Pugkin Bash
GT (birmingham, AL)
“While Austin, Texas has become a famed mecca for psychedelia, fellow Southerners \\GT// enter the fray to plant a psych-rock flag for Birmingham, Alabama.” “Think Japandroids or No Age being born in and embracing the humid and strange American South, and you start to hear GT through the haze” and further that, “Front man and lead guitarist Scotty Lee had tinkered with various incarnations of “GT,” the unifying acronym of his one-man arts-and-music project alternately known as Green Teeth, Get Tryin’ and Ghost Traveler. He’s been playing in bands since high school, from early cover acts and sets of instrumental brooders to post-hardcore crews and straight-ahead rock acts. But GT was a chance for him to separate himself from the frustrations of band life and start an outlet that would be forever his. With Byron Sonnier on bass and Mark Beasley on drums, both respected veterans of the music community themselves, GT is complete as they look forward to putting out their debut LP”.
