Vocalist TJ Lyle comments, “Alone we can do amazing things. Together? We can reach immeasurable heights. Be kind. Be brave and even on the darkest nights, always chase the light! There is no limit to what we can achieve. Together we can and will overcome it all.”
This release follows the band’s debut album, which has quietly become a sensation, garnering over 6 million streams worldwide. The Georgia Thunderbolts continue to carve their path in the music industry, blending timeless rock influences with their unique style, as praised by both critics and fans. Described as “timeless”, “top-notch”, and “the real deal” by esteemed publications such as Rolling Stone Country, Classic Rock, American Songwriter, Art Voice, and Music Matters Magazine, the band has solidified their place as torchbearers of Southern Rock. The release follows the band’s most recent single, “Gonna Shine”, and an accompanying music video directed by Jim Arbogast.
In support of their new material, The Georgia Thunderbolts are poised to bring their electrifying live performances to venues across the country. Highlighted tour dates include appearances at Ellis Theatre in Philadelphia, MS with The Kentucky Headhunters, Coffee Butler Amphitheatre in Key West, FL alongside the Marshall Tucker Band, and the iconic Beaver Dam Amphitheatre in Beaver Dam, KY, sharing the stage with legends like Ace Frehley and Foghat.
Hailing from Rome, Georgia, at the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, The Georgia Thunderbolts have paved the way for a new generation of classic and Southern rock enthusiasts. Their sound, deeply rooted in Southern swagger, scorching blues, and raw rock, harkens back to the iconic rock ‘n’ roll legends that influenced their musical journey. Their eclectic inspirations range from Southern gospel and Hank Williams to the grit of Black Sabbath, the Southern rock charm of Allman Brothers and Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Georgia greats like James Brown and Otis Redding. It’s not just their music that captures attention; their deeply rooted history in Rome, a town steeped in rich agricultural heritage, influences their lyrical narratives and showcases their authentic Southern spirit.
Since their inception, the band has shared memorable moments on stage with music titans like Black Stone Cherry, Deep Purple, Allman Betts Band, and Blackberry Smoke. The band has also performed at notable festivals, including the Georgia Country Music Fest headlined by Koe Wetzel.
