Jackson Michelson
Over the past year Michelson has played more than 150 shows, opened for Blake
Shelton, Lady Antebellum and Zac Brown Band and visited radio stations in over 120
cities across the country. Raised in Corvallis, Oregon, Jackson Michelson kicked off
his country career on the West Coast, carving out a sound that blended the rootsy
twang of the American South with the sunny, feel-good spirit of the Pacific Coast.
By the time he moved to Nashville, he'd already spent years on the road, playing in
bands back at home. Now, with a record deal under his belt, Michelson is prepping
for the next phase of his career. There are new shows to play, new songs to be
written and new opportunities to explore. But he's still the boy from Corvallis,
happy to sing.
The Georgia Satellites | Thur. Aug. 8, 2019 | 9:00 PM
(LOCAL BAND-BLUE TATTOO WILL TAKE THE STAGE TO START THE PARTY AT 7:15 P.M. )
Founded in 1985 by Rick Richards, Rick Price, singer Dan Baird and drummer Mauro
Magellan, the Satellites quickly launched into stardom with hits like “Keep Your Hands
to Yourself,” “Battleship Chains”, “Can’t Stand the Pain”, “Hippy Hippy Shake”, and
others. The Georgia Satellites were one of the most ferocious bands of the 1980’s. What
set them apart from the other 10,000 groups that cranked their amps to 11, was that
their wild riffs and tanked cries came from a quartet that understood it’s place in rock
tradition and fought hard to solidify it with each recording. Critically acclaimed albums
and mind- bending performances earned the boys a permanent spot in music history.

Sugar Ray
When “Sugar Ray’s” breakthrough hit song “Fly” put them on the map in 1997, lead
vocalist Mark McGrath was thrust into the public eye. It’s no doubt the band
maintains its momentum due in no small part to the good looks, charisma and talent
of its front man, Mark McGrath Later that year, and following the success of their
number-one hit, Sugar Ray released its second album, “Floored,” which went double
-platinum. Sugar Ray’s success rocketed McGrath to pop-star status, as he graced the
covers of “Rolling Stone” and “Spin.” He even made People magazine’s “Sexiest Man
Alive” issue, named “Sexiest Rocker” in 1998 with hit singles “Every Morning,”
“Someday” and “Falls Apart.” In addition, McGrath has made guest appearances on
the hit television dramas “Las Vegas”, “North Shore”, The Neighbors, The Office, Law
and Order SVU and The Drew Carey Show to name a few.
