Tommy Talton  Tommy Talton is one of the best songwriters and guitarists of our time. Talton has taken the southern music scene by storm in recent years with a new band, a new determination, and exceptional new music. Talton's music showcases not only his classic slide and guitar work, but his distinctive vocals, and passionate songwriting.  The Tommy Talton Band live performances appeal to all ages, as evidenced by the wide age range of audiences at its live performances. Expect to hear music from many genres from blues, southern rock and country rock to Americana, R&B and soul. Talton's critically acclaimed studio CD, TOMMY TALON IN EUROPE and his highly anticipated live CD, LIVE NOTES FROM ATHENS were  both released on Hittin’ the Note Records.  While in Macon, GA through most of the 70s, Talton was a studio musician recording with artists such as Bonnie Bramlett, Martin Mull, Corky Lang (West, Bruce and Lang, Mountain), Gregg Allman, Dickey Betts, Clarence Carter, country legend Kitty Wells, Alex and Livingston Taylor, Arthur Conley of Sweet Soul Music fame, and more. He toured extensively throughout the U.S. with Cowboy and with the Gregg Allman tour, from Carnegie Hall (as special guests) to Fillmore West in San Francisco and most cities in between. Talton was also the guitarist on Gregg Allman's LAID BACK album. Talton performed as a special guest with The Allman Brothers Band numerous times in 2009, 2010 and 2011 from Macon, GA to New York City.  "… Almost thirty-four years after  THE GREG ALLMAN TOUR  release, Talton has rolled tape on another epic live recording, LIVE NOTES FROM ATHENS will delight new music fans hungry for an extraordinary, original artist whose sound is dynamite burning with a short fuse." - Hittin’ the Note Magazine Talton is available for solo bookings, as well as with The Tommy Talton Band and Cowboy. ...Whether performing solo, with his band or with COWBOY, Talton touches souls like no other musician. Tommy Talton with Cowboy Tommy Talton was a founding member of Capricorn Records group COWBOY. Cowboy/Boyer & Talton reunited in 2010 and released their first CD since 1979, a live CD recorded in Macon, GA and released on Hittin’ the Note Records in 2011.  Davin McCoy & The Coming Attractions Davin McCoy, the youngest artist in our stable, has the innate ability to make an old man feel young and a young man feel wiser. Davin must be heard and seen to truly appreciate and understand his incredible songwriting and performing talents. “Sometimes I feel completely disingenuous, the one place I have never felt that way is in music.” – Davin McCoy. As an 8 year old, Davin McCoy would whistle “Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay” in his sleep. The well of creative passion was beginning to seep. Born in Albany, Georgia and raised in separate households, Davin’s inherit gift and calling for music would finally manifest at age 12, when he found the guitar. Shortly thereafter, Davin began writing his own songs—musical emotion and expression akin to Cat Stevens, Van Morrison and of course, Otis Redding. After a short stint at the University of Hawaii, Davin succumbed to his calling and began his life-long dedication to writing and performing; to observing and inspiring. At 21, Davin teamed up with Clay Cook (John Mayer, Shawn Mullins, Zack Brown, Marshall Tucker Band) to record his first full length musical effort 40 DAYS FROM FRIDAY. Unyielding to fear and eager for experience, Davin quickly shipped off to London where he would take up a publishing deal and continue to write and perform. Davin’s music would take him over oceans and across continents, from London to L.A., and to Florida via New York. Davin returned to Georgia where he recorded SO GOOD, SO CRUEL,  his most recent and most inspired work, produced by Davis Cause (Sea Level, The Allman Brothers Band) with guest performances by Randall Bramblett (Sea Level, Cowboy, Widespread Panic) and Chuck Leavell (The Allman Brothers Band, Rolling Stones, Sea Level) and the Widespread Panic horn section. Together with Casey Crogan on the drums, Davin and company made magic in the studio.    “McCoy is well on his way to national recognition” – Billboard Magazine “Davin is wonderfully talented. He’s got a gift.” – Jimmy Hall (Wet Willie) Davin McCoy is available for solo performances, we well as with his original trio and his current six piece band, The Coming Attractions
