Newnan, GA – 06/18/10 – Brickhouse Grille and Tavern
It’ll be a special evening for Remedy as we make our debut at the Brickhouse Grille and Tavern in Newnan, GA on Friday, June 18th, 2010 at 9 PM. Special not only because we’ll be making our first appearance at the popular Newnan restaurant and pub, but also because we’ll co-hosting a few parties, including a farewell bash for a couple of good friends, Christi and Andy Kesig.
Expecting a big turnout for the event, we’ll be trying out some new music and playing all the favorites our friends and fans have come to know and love. Although a relatively new player on the local music scene, the Brickhouse Grille and Tavern has quickly established a reputation as a great hangout for music, good food, and a great atmosphere. The band is anticipating a packed house so please plan to arrive early and stay late as we’ll be rockin’ into the wee hours of the night!

Peachtree City, GA – 05/29/10 – The Tavern on 74
Remedy is thrilled to be making our first performance at The Tavern on 74 in Peachtree City, GA. We’ve heard lots of great things about The Tavern, which has an established reputation for showcasing bands in Peachtree City. This will be our first ‘bar gig’ in Peachtree City so we’re really hoping to draw a great crowd of folks who live in the area.
The band has been working particularly hard recently learning new music and plan to bring the house down with outstanding material from The Who, Molly Hatchett, and Blackfoot, in addition to playing fan favorites from Rush, Zeppelin, Stevie Ray Vaughn, and lots more.
We’re looking forward to a great time at the Tavern on 74 and hope to see all our friends from Peachtree City when we show up and rock the house!

Bring It On Home
Collectively, there’s not a single guy in the band that doesn’t love Zeppelin. And aside from Andy Buchanan, who staunchly defends his designation of Neil Peart as the greatest drummer of all time, we recognize each Zeppelin member at their respective positions as being among the best at what they do. With that heavy praise in mind, it might come as a surprise to know that we currently only feature one Zeppelin tune in our set list.
We’ve been moderately limited with the selection of Zeppelin songs we could cover as a great number of them are so well known and revered and we’ve been reluctant to try and cover them unless we were confident in our ability to do them justice. Plant’s voice alone, for instance, keeps me from comfortably singing about 50%-60% of the songs they play!
It’s with great excitement then, Remedy has decided to cover a heavy hitting Zeppelin tune entitled ‘Bring It On Home,’ originally released in 1969 on the Zeppelin II album. At 4:20 seconds long, the song features a bluesy intro and outro, with a bone crushing guitar lick that carries listeners through a very short musical roller coaster ride in between. The intro and outro were deliberate homages to the original Sonny Boy Williamson song, while the rest of the track was an original Jimmy Page/Robert Plant composition.
With fair amounts of reasonably intricate harmonica parts and guitar parts that feature both lead and rhythm sections, the song should prove to be a substantial challenge for the band but an extremely rewarding song to cover at the same time.
In case you’ve not heard the song before, have a quick listen and be sure to brace yourself for the guitar intro!
