Statesboro Blues
Huge fans of the Allman brothers, Remedy has decided to take on a classic by the beloved southern rockers entitled, ‘Statesboro Blues.’ Originally recorded by Blind Willie McTell, a popular blues musician who played in Georgia until his death in 1959, the Allman Brothers recorded the song for the first time at the Fillmore East in 1971. Well known for the incredible slide guitar work done by Duane Allman, ‘Statesboro Blues’ was ranked #9 by Rolling Stone Magazine in its list of the 100 Greatest Guitar Songs of All Time. Not so ironically, Statesboro is a city in Georgia not far from Macon, where the band lived.
A tremendous admirer of Duane Allman’s skills with the slide, Tim is looking forward to taking on the challenge of duplicating the smooth, fluid style of Allman, while trying to infuse a bit of Remedy flavor into the classic hit. Always requested and heavily applauded during gigs, songs by the Allman Brothers always go over incredibly well with local folks wherever we play, and we look forward to seeing (and hearing) the response we get following the addition of ‘Statesboro Blues’ to our setlist.
If you’ve not heard the song before, have a quick listen to the song below and we’ll be sure to replace it with our version in a few weeks as a basis for comparison.

Motorheads Debut
Remedy had the pleasure of playing at Motorheads in McDonough, GA for the first time on January 15th, 2010 and thoroughly enjoyed the experience, playing four sets over the course of our four hour stay. Our first time at the venue, we did our absolute best to make the most of the opportunity by endeavoring to put on a flawless show, with lots of crowd interaction and participation, in addition to playing a whole lot of songs during the course of the evening. We received many compliments throughout the night for doing just that!
We also had an opportunity to celebrate a very special occasion, bringing together a bunch of folks who gathered to join in celebrating Elisa’s birthday party. It was a very special evening for Elisa as it brought together two things she really enjoys; the band and her friends. Be sure to check out the photo gallery to check out some of the action from the night’s festivities.
We had a great time at Motorheads and hope to return soon. As always, please be sure to check our list of upcoming shows for a complete run down of where we’ll be next and a huge thank you to all those folks who came out to join us at Motorheads. You made it a very memorable evening for all of us!
A Night to Remember
Remedy had the pleasure of playing to a packed house at the Twilight Bar and Grill on December 31, 2009 in Newnan, GA. Filled with friends, family and lots of Twilight faithful, hosts Molly and Glenn Veasey kicked off the evening’s festivities with a fantastic steak dinner, set against a wonderfully decorated bar that was perfectly arranged for the big party. Molly personally visited each table, checking on her guests as they enjoyed their meal and making sure everyone was having a great time.
The band began playing music just before the nine o’clock hour, kicking off the first set with Eddie Money’s ‘Two Tickets to Paradise’ and finishing with off with the ever popular Allman Brother’s ‘Whipping Post.’ The band added several new songs to the mix during the evening, including tunes by Santana, The Doobie Brothers, The Jeff Healey Band and Joe Cocker.
At midnight, the bar counted down in unison as the seconds ticked away, followed by lots of hugs and kisses as the clock struck twelve. The band played on as the celebration continued, playing lots of material that kept the dance floor packed and visitors singing along.

We’d like to send out a heartfelt thanks to both Molly and Glenn for allowing us to play during one of their biggest parties of the year. It’s no secret we love playing the Twilight and a big part of that is because of them. We’d also like to thank all the Twilight faithful that made the choice to spend their holiday with us. We know there are LOTS of choices when it comes to New Year’s Eve parties and we’re honored you choose to spend yours with us. Lastly, many thanks to our families and friends who came to join us. We’d likely not accept invitations to play holiday parties like these were it not for you coming to celebrate with us. It means so much to us to have you there!
Hopefully we’ll see you all again next year!
