Relay For Life
Remedy is proud to extend our longstanding tradition of playing for charitable organizations by accepting an invitation to participate in Peachtree City’s annual “Relay For Life,” to benefit the American Cancer Society on Friday, April 29th, 2011 at Falcon Field. Proceeds from the event will be donated to the American Cancer Society and Remedy is thrilled to be able to participate in kind to support this wonderful cause.
The American Cancer Society Relay For Life is a life-changing event that gives everyone in communities across the globe a chance to celebrate the lives of people who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against the disease. At Relay, teams of people will camp out at Falcon Field in Peachtree City and take turns walking or running around a designated track. Each team is asked to have a representative on the track at all times during the event. Because cancer never sleeps, Relays are overnight events up to 24 hours in length. The only requirement to participate in Relay For Life is a $10 registration fee (per person) that is due upon registration. After that, anything you can raise through individual, team, or online fund raising is graciously accepted.
Cancer claimed the lives of 562,875 Americans in 2010, second only to heart disease as the leading cause of death last year. Join us as we gather to battle the disease at this year’s Relay For Life!
Date: Friday, April 29th @ 9 PM
Location: Falcon Field
Address: 7 Falcom Drive – Peachtree City, GA 30269

Cost: $10
Birdies Wings
It was a special evening for Remedy as we made our debut at Birdies Wings #3 in Hiram, GA on Saturday, February 19th, 2011. The first of many future appearances at the establishment, Birdies lived up to our expectations in every possible way. With friendly management, a helpful wait staff, delicious food, and a wonderful atmosphere, we quickly learned why Birdies has established a great reputation with Hiram locals.
In addition to having a great stage for music, the patrons were very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the musical selections and let loose on the dance floor as we progressed through our sets. Several of the Remedy faithful were in attendance and many indulged in a few items off the menu prior to the music getting underway. There were lots of compliments, not surprisingly, about the wings, but lots of additional comments on how great the food and service was throughout the evening.
We felt very welcome from the moment we walked in the door and our friends and family routinely commented on the outstanding service they enjoyed all night long. We’re looking forward to returning in the coming months and hope to establish a long relationship with Sandy and the friendly folks at Birdies!

The Voice of Rock
Let me preface this post by saying that what I’m about to propose in this article is completely subjective. Unlike death, which can’t be argued is either inevitable or permanent, what I’m about to say is entirely subjective and could likely be debated until God himself returns to settle the argument. With that disclaimer out of the way, I’ll submit my statement for evaluation…
Chris Robinson is the “Voice” of rock.
Now I realize this is utterly subjective and completely open to interpretation. It’s like asking ten people what their favorite food is and expecting everyone to say, “pizza..” It’s a matter of personal taste and depending on what suits your musical taste buds, that’s what you are going to gravitate towards. Consequently, a poll of ten people will likely result in ten different responses.
Before I place the crown upon the king’s head however, we really need to have a look at some of the contenders for the throne. After all, for those of you that get nauseous from the very sight of pizza, you need to have a look at the other options on the table before you make your selection.
In no particular order, lets make an argument for…
Robert Plant – next to Chris Robinson, this guy is at the top of my list. Ok, so maybe they are in some type of order! Plant’s voice, whether you care for it or not, is unmatched in terms of power and range. He could blow your hair back with the likes of “Black Dog” and caress your ears with tunes like “Going to California.” He could carry a tune and scream like no other.
Paul McCartney – admittedly, not my thing but who’s going to argue with 90 million screaming women?
Janis Joplin – the most recognizable female voice in all of rock history. As Arthur Cooper wrote, “she stomped, shimmied, swung her hips, and screeched carnal knowledge in a voice as gritty as a Texas dirt road.”
Freddie Mercury – admittedly, not my thing but who’s going to argue with 90 million screaming men? On a serious note, Freddie’s range, creativity and precision make him one of the most versatile and respected artists around.
Honorable mention: Roger Daltrey, Steve Perry, Ann Wilson, & Paul Rodgers
So why Chris Robinson you ask, among a smorgasbord of exceptional singers on the table? Because he has all the ingredients of the perfect singer; soul, groove, range, purity, power, stamina and more. The kind of vocalist that defines the music he makes, with an instrument no less important than any guitar, bass, piano or drum. Robinson’s vocals are exceptionally soulful and powerful, matched only by the inspiration and introspection of his lyrics. How such a little dude could pack such a vocal punch is beyond the laws of physics and comprehension.
Not convinced? Not a Chris Robinson fan? Pizza give you heartburn? Well, have a listen to this and when you’re finished, be sure to leave a comment!
