There’s a\u00a0local super group that has been working album out at Tweed Studio <\/strong>in College Hill<\/strong>. This Oxford band was mentioned in The Local Voice<\/em> last year as “Fathers With Daughters<\/strong>” but they have since dropped that moniker.<\/span><\/p>\n

The all-instrumental super group features guitarist George McConnell<\/strong> (Beanland, Widespread Panic, The Nonchalants<\/strong>), drummer Ted Gainey<\/strong> (Wobitty, Blue Mountain, Taylor Grocery Band<\/strong>), guitarist Eric Deaton<\/strong> (Eric Deaton Trio, Afrissippi<\/strong>), organist Robert Chaffe<\/strong> (Kudzu Kings, Rocket 88<\/strong>), and bassist Slade Lewis<\/strong> (The Yalobushwakers, Enigma Jazz Project<\/strong>).<\/span><\/p>\n

Ted Gainey has been producing the record with Clay Jones<\/strong> recording and mixing the project. Hill Country Records<\/strong> hopes to be releasing the record later this year on vinyl, and to help facilitate the album, the label has started a Kickstarter project. Backers of the project can secure a copy and – get this – one lucky backer will also be able to name the band<\/em>. If you’ve ever been a fan of any of these guys, and let’s face it, who hasn’t, now is the time to ante up for our local rocknroll heroes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Update: The new-and-yet-unnamed super group is hosting a “Listening Party” at Proud Larrys’<\/strong> in Oxford on Thursday, March 17 during Happy Hour. Attendees will have a chance to listen to the new album in the works and throw some possible band names into the hat. This St. Patrick’s Day Listening Party\u00a0starts at 5 pm<\/span><\/span>\u00a0with crawfish and beer specials.\u00a0\"The<\/span><\/p>\n
