prevalent musical force and well known amongst jazz
guitarists and musicians within the U.S and abroad. After

his debut jazz-funk album "The Counsel Of Elders", which pays
homage to jazz guitar luminaries Wes Montgomery, Grant
Green, George Benson, and Kenny Burrell. In March 2018, Rod
released his well-anticipated hip-hop/jazz EP entitled “Exits &
Options”. The “X/O” Ep features renditions of classic songs as
well as original material. In 2018, RHJ received a Grammy
Nomination for his guitar work and musical contributions on
Neo-Soul Legend Musiq Soulchild’s album “Feel The Real”. Rod
can also be seen performing in the hit film biopics “Cadillac
Records” (starring Beyoncé and Adrian Brody) and “Bessie”
(starring Queen Latifah) and most recently season 2 of BET’s

Bio:
I began singing from the age of four years old, but proceeded to pursue athletics instead. I played softball during elementary school and then took up cheerleading in middle school. Cheerleading continued through my freshman year in high school, where I was a member of both the Junior Varsity football cheerleading squad and the Varsity competition squad.
Becoming extremely disenchanted with the affair, I decided to try out for the volleyball team. I was a member of the Varsity team during my sophomore, junior, and senior year. Over the three years, I received honorable mention (sophomore), first team all-county (junior, senior), team MVP (junior, senior), player of the year (senior), and was a member of the Georgia All-Star volleyball team (senior).
While in between high school seasons, I participated in the Junior Olympic Volleyball program. My senior year ended with me receiving a volleyball scholarship to Valdosta State University. I started as a defense specialist as a freshman. After the 2001 season, I moved back to Atlanta and worked.
In July of 2002, I decided to pick up the guitar. In August, I went to Georgia Southern University and played volleyball there for two years. Getting nowhere with my music, I decided to move back to Atlanta and try to do something. Once I got back, I started playing at local open mic venues and began to receive offers for shows. In 2005, I played my first solo show and have been playing frequently since then.
Over the years, I have written several songs and in November of 2005, I decided to professionally record a few of them. After almost a year, the project was finally completed.
Currently, I play around town 3-4 nights a week. The shows consist of either, solo, duo, or band gigs. A new project is in the works so new music will be available soon!

Jamie Williams and the Roots Collective exist on an imaginary tightrope
stretching between The Rolling Stones and The Eagles.
Settled into the current super-tight lineup after many years and hundreds of shows the band is on fire right now, bringing their own style of Country Blues, Rock & Americana. Playing festivals, theatres, clubs & pubs including a couple of recent rapturous nights at London's legendary 100 Club their ethos is always to have fun and make sure the crowd does too. This is not a band that stands onstage staring at their (red) shoes. They’ve shared line-ups with likes of Bellowhead, Wilko Johnson, The Darkness, The Pretty Things, Jefferson Starship, Eric Burdon, Carl Palmer, The Blues Band, Stray, David Knopfler, The Quireboys, Dr Feelgood, Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel, The Yardbirds, Eddi Reeder & the Animals to name but a few.

Ryan is a vocalist reminiscent of the Sinatra, big band era. But with a fresh
sound that stands out, especially among today's music. A "crooner" in every sense that truly captures the style and delivery from history's finest singers of the Great America Jazz Songbook!

In February 2017, Monday Night Social emerged as a full five-piece band and into the Chattanooga music scene with their win in that year’s Road to Nightfall competition, however their musical roots as a group extend back a couple of years before that moment. Brock and Janet McGarity, along with Christian Mann, comprise the founding members of the band dating back to early 2015. Initially they performed as a more intimate, indie-folk group focusing on 3-part harmonies with Janet also handling percussion duties while Brock and Christian played acoustic guitar and mandolin respectively. Their songs in those early days were tunes they had written before meeting each other which they worked into 3-part, folksy arrangements and turned into a self-produced EP. In 2016 they began writing songs together which led to a refining of their sound and direction. By this point the 3-part harmonies had become central to their identity, but the real transition came in the form of instrumentation. The acoustic guitar and mandolin were still integral pieces, but the electric guitar began to carry more of the load which required a shift in how the rhythm operated in each song. Janet’s musical versatility found her now holding down acoustic on many of the newer songs as well as light, hand percussion while Josh English and JG Oliver joined the lineup on bass and drums respectively.

Zakiya Hooker is quite familiar with the blues. You could even say she had a front-row
seat to view the best the genre had to offer, right in her own living room. Her dad was
the renowned blues giant John Lee Hooker. To be the daughter of a Living Legend is a
major obstacle. To choose to follow in his footsteps is a major undertaking. But rather
than relying on her father, Zakiya has pursued life -- and music -- on her own terms,
overcoming personal tragedy and skepticism along the way. But you know what they
say, “the fruit never falls too far from the tree”. This certainly rings true with Zakiya.

Papa Jack Couch is a singer/songwriter of insight and wit. He performs originals forged over long years of two-lane blacktops and smoke-rise sundowns, with direct influences reaching back to Gram Parsons and Johnny Cash. Emerging with relevance and thump, he brings fresh perspective to the age-old themes; life of the soul, pain of the heart. His material resonates especially with those still trying to grow into full-fledged adulthood. With a voice of Tupelo honey over burnt sourdough, and a rhythm playing style -- on a battered ‘59 hockshop Martin -- just good enough to forestall eviction, his performances are always saved by inventive, insightful writing and an amazing range of observation. After spending his formative years all over Georgia, Florida and Alabama, and having survived two separate invasions of Nashville, most of his life has played out in Southeast Georgia’s endless pines and mysterious swamplands. He now lives in Meriwether County and loves nothing more than coming into town and playing hard won, hand carved music.
