Remedy in the 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.

Extra, Extra, Read All About It!

The Remedy Band’s upcoming event at Season Tickets Sports Bar and Grill was in the news today when the Citizen Newspaper published their weekly offering, delivered to Fayette County residents every Wednesday morning. Always extremely supportive of the local residents of Fayette County, the newspaper routinely runs postings of upcoming events and happenings for the area, in an effort to promote both local establishments and the interests of its readers.

The benefits are obvious; the local establishment gets a great plug for their venue, the band some notoriety and perhaps some future bookings, and the readers get the benefit of being informed about something they might enjoy on a Saturday night. Our primary motivation truth be told, is to try and attract as many people as possible so we can really get the place movin’ and shakin’. We typically find when playing gigs that energy and enthusiasm are greatly contageous so the more people you have dancing and singing, the better!

Our other motivation is to make sure that we do our part to keep these great local establishments, that we enjoy visiting with our own families, thriving and continuing to do well during these tough times. On numerous occasions over the last few months, we’ve seen many of our favorite restaurants and bars shut down. The effects of this are felt throughout the community with owners, staff, purveyors, and yes, local bands, all feeling the crunch.

Many thanks to the Citizen Newspaper for posting the article. We don’t take it for granted and appreciate the effort. We hope a lot of people saw it today and that many come out and visit us this Saturday night at Season Tickets. If you do, we promise to play a song or two just for you!
