_(General Admission)_OPPOSITE BOX / HALEM ALBRIGHT BAND / FREE HAT
*********************************
OPPOSITE BOX
Opposite Box is an American experimental rock band from Chattanooga,
Tennessee known for seamlessly blending 70s-inspired progressive rock
and contemporary jazz-funk with a variety of shifting genres and
psychedelic soundscapes.
Although the band is primarily popular among the US jam band and music
festival scene, OB has little in common with the music of contemporary
jam band mainstays. Influenced by the diverse sounds of artists like
Frank Zappa, Parliament Funkadelic, Primus, the Mars Volta, Red Hot
Chili Peppers and Colonel Bruce & the Aquarium Rescue Unit, Opposite
Box is focused less on improvised jamming and more on unique
songwriting, biting and playful lyricism and high energy live
performances that hearken back to the glory days of rock and roll.
HALEM ALBRIGHT BAND
"Halem will rock your world." -John Keane(Producer, R.E.M., Widespread
Panic)
"'Through Human Eyes' is an eclectic and thoroughly entertaining
kaleidoscope of various genres, a truly remarkable showcase of
talent..." -Bullet Music
Halem Albright (guitarist, vocalist, songwriter) was born and raised
in Atlanta, Ga. Brought up among music lovers, he began to show an
early interest in music. Halem started playing guitar and writing
music at 14 and went on to be involved in several bands and music
projects that toured the southeast(one of which Halem founded "The
Green Light Council", was an Athens Flagpole award winner).
Halem started working on his debut album "Don't Listen To Me" in 2010
with some of Atlanta and Athens' greatest producers and musicians,
showing his musical maturity with diverse styles ranging from pop
oriented rock songs, supported by moving guitar work and beautiful
background vocals to reggae and Americana influenced anthems, with
accompanying powerful horn sections and high energy percussion. The
album was produced with the help of some of Atlanta and Athens' finest
producers such as John Keane of R.E.M. and Widespread Panic fame and
Jeff Mosier, who has worked with bands like Phish. The album also has
the contributions of some of Georgia's best musicians, namely
keyboardist Ike Stubblefield, guitarist Davis Causey and drummer Duane
Trucks, to name a few.
In 2013 "The Halem Albright Band" was formed, consisting of Halem
Albright on vocals/lead guitar, well known Atlanta keyboardist Spencer
Pope, bassist Dustin Fennell, and Nathan Bartlett on drums. And in
2015, The H.A.B. had the honor of winning the "AthFest People's Choice
Awards" to be a part of the Athens' festival's compilation album. In
2017 The H.A.B. released their first album "Through Human Eyes", to
great reviews.
Throughout his music career, Halem has shared bills with established
music veterans such as Col. Bruce Hampton, Leftover Salmon and The
Disco Biscuits(among many others). With a first solo album this strong
and appealing and a jaw dropping live show supported by some of
Atlanta's best musicians, Halem is sure to look forward to many years
of great music making...
