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.

Bringing Back the Beard
October 31, 2009 by Andrew Ryff
Filed under New Songs
Remedy has decided to assemble a medley from one of the most famous bearded rock and roll groups of all time; ZZ Top. Featuring three songs from the band, the medley kicks off with some killer guitar riffs in ‘Just Got Paid,’ transitions into ‘Waitin’ On The Bus,’ and finishes strong with ‘Jesus Just Left Chicago.’ The latter two songs naturally transition from one to the other but Remedy decided to add ‘Just Got Paid’ to the mix as the prominent guitar lick at the beginning of the song was just too good to pass up. It’s a heck of a lot of fun to play and Tim, as usual, nails the guitar parts as Andy and Jon chime in perfectly with their respective instruments.
Have a listen to Just Got Paid’ by selecting the play button below.
Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.
Big fans of the group and their music, Remedy can regularly be heard playing a few other ZZ Top songs on any given night including ‘Sharp Dressed Man’ and ‘La Grange.’ I don’t know if we’ll be growing the beards anytime soon but you’ll surely hear us pay tribute to bearded boys from ZZ Top during one of our next gigs out. We certainly hope you enjoy it!
Drift Away

Filed under New Songs
Utilizing the talents of our newly added keyboard player, Remedy has decided to add a bit more keyboard-driven material to the play list by learning the Dobie Gray classic, ‘Drift Away’. Chris takes the lead on the vocals, with Andy and Tim picking up the harmonies. In addition, the song provides Chris with an opportunity to showcase his keyboard skills as well, with subtle but distinct melodies throughout the tune.
The song provides just a taste of what you’ll be hearing at future gigs as we continue to expand our play list, now nearly 80 songs deep, featuring a wide variety of songs that either spotlight piano and keys or serve as great accompaniment to the driving guitar-driven songs the band is known for playing.

Remedy in the News

Filed under Latest News
The Remedy Band appeared in Wednesday’s edition of the local Fayette County Citizen Newspaper, highlighting their notable win last Saturday night at the Fred’s “Open Mic” night. Competing against 16 other local performers, Remedy distanced themselves from the competition by delivering a performance that focused on energy, enthusiasm, and lots of fun. In addition, the band painstakingly combed through their extensive play list, searching for three songs to fill the twelve minute set that they thought would display solid musicianship but also keep the crowd movin’ and shakin’. Walking off the stage following the brief set, the band felt extremely confident they selected the perfect mix of tunes to play in Hard to Handle (Black Crowes), Pride and Joy (Stevie Ray Vaughn) and Whipping Post (Allman Brothers Band).
As a result of winning the contest, Remedy will return to the Fred on July 10th, 2009 to open for the World Classic Rockers, featuring an all-star line-up from band’s such as Journey, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Steppenwolf, Santana and Toto. For tickets and information about the event, visit Peachtree City’s Frederick Brown Jr. Amphitheater website.
Once again, many thanks to Fayetteville’s Citizen Newpaper for their willingness to support the local music scene and for providing the residents of Fayette County, GA with a wonderful vehicle to share local news and events.

Heartbreaker, Your Time Has Come
April 24, 2009 by Andrew Ryff
Filed under New Songs
In an effort to routinely improve, diversify and expand on our musical offerings, the Remedy Band has decided to add a fantastic tune to our play list from the album Led Zeppelin II entitled, “Heartbreaker.”
Having heard countless Zeppelin tunes on the radio, you’ve likely heard Heartbreaker a number of times over the years and rather than tackle one of the Zeppelin standards you often hear other bands cover, such as “Rock and Roll” or “The Ocean,” we’ve decided to challenge ourselves with something a little more difficult, rewarding and fun to play.
Collectively, we’re all huge Zeppelin fans and choosing the right song for us to play was not an easy exercise. In the end, we decided on a song that we thought we could do well, would be enjoyable to play and listen to, and something that provided a bit of a challenge. Heartbreaker turned out to be the perfect choice.
As many hard core Zeppelin fans know, Heartbreaker showcases the brilliance of Jimmy Page and one of the most well known guitar solos in Zeppelin’s vast library of songs, if not all of rock. It was with some reservation then, that we decided to tackle the song, as we knew it would be a strain on Tim to learn the complexities of the solo. We knew it wasn’t beyond his ability mind you, but contemplated whether or not it was worth spending substantial amounts of time learning.
As it turns out, it was well worth the effort. We played the song for the first time last night and Tim navigated Page’s muddy solo masterfully, with Andy and Jon adding the additional pieces to the puzzle throughout the song. The timing, sound and fullness of the song was incredible and the tune has very quickly become one of our favorites to play.
Look for us to continue to perfect the song and play it at future gigs and be sure to listen for the solo when we do. We’re fairly confident you won’t hear another local band attempting the song and you most assuredly won’t hear a guitar player (outside of Jimmy Page of course) nail the solo the way Tim does!
Let us know what you think!
