THE BLACK CROWES
Founded in the late 80’s by brothers Chris and Rich Robinson, The Black Crowes’ debut album in 1990 received multi-platinum certification, and produced such hits as “Hard To Handle,” “She Talks To Angels,” and “Twice As Hard.” Their second album The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion with hits “Remedy” and “Thorn In My Pride” debuted at #1 on Billboard’s top 200 albums.
They spent much of the 90’s on tour with groups like ZZ Top and the Who, even opening for the Grateful Dead. Following a hiatus during which time singer Chris Robinson concentrated on solo projects, the brothers reformed the band in early 2005. They again hit the road, this time with Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers among others. Most recent albums include Warpaint (2008) and, set to hit stores in September 2009, is Before the Frost…Until the Freeze.
SAVING ABEL
Currently at #5, Saving Abel has spent 18 weeks on Billboard’s Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks and is at #1 on the Big Dog 106 Playlist. Other hits include “Drowning Face Down” and “18 Days.” After touring with groups such as Nickleback and Hinder, Saving Abel will bring their blend of southern and alternative rock to Dog Jam 09!
SEVENDUST
Best known for hits such as “Praise,” “Angel’s Son,” “Driven,” “Enemy” (used as the official theme song for WWE Unforgiven 2003), Sevendust has had many songs become part of movie history from “My Ruin” heard in the Mortal Kombat soundtrack album to “Pieces” for the film Saw II.
