Robert Lee Coleman & The Night Owls
Robert Lee Coleman of Macon, Georgia played guitar for Percy Sledge from 1964 to 1969. In 1970, James Brown hired him for his new band, “the JBs.” Robert’s guitar is featured on Brown’s album “Hot Pants”, including the songs “Revolution of the Mind,” recorded live at the Apollo Theater & “Make It Funky” from the “Soul Classics”
A little about the band : The Night Owls are a blues trio made up of guitarist/vocalist/songwriter Benjamin Cummings, bassist Joseph Palmer, and drummer/vocalist Jarvis Arline. These guys grew up together, gigging and playing the same streets and night clubs. As they got older, it was only natural that they formed a band together and kept the music and friendship alive. Headed up by long time friend and mentor, blues/funk legend Mr. Robert Lee Coleman, these guys make up a powerhouse of blues and funk. Robert Lee Coleman has spent time on the road with Percy Sledge, he's on records with James Brown, and has toured and played some of the most beautiful venues the world has to offer. Robert Lee Coleman saw something special in these guys at a very young age and became some what of a coach, the rest is history and we are all very thankful.

Barrelhouse
Barrelhouse is a powerful Blues/Rock Band with a "HUGE SOUND"! Comprised of two dynamite/distinct guitarists (Nathan Harper/Wyatt Pyles), a keyboard/piano master (Derek Castello), a flashy/off the chart drummer (Kenny "BuBu" Robinson), a smooth/thumping bass player (Greg Adams), an unparalleled saxophonist (Kofi Ah), and a butt kickin' harmonica playin' vocalist (Dan Kelly Jr.), they've turned heads everywhere they've played. Individually, these talented guys have played venues in & out of Georgia & abroad and decided to combine their talents and form BARRELHOUSE. Recently, a few members were lucky enough to grace the stage with Mr. Jack Pearson of Allman Brothers fame. With an awesome selection of unique & refreshing originals and carefully selected covers BARRELHOUSE is a "must see" experience.
