The Band: Junkyard Angel
We have snagged a great band to play our reception. With members from Savannah and Athens, they go by the name Junkyard Angel, and they specialize in Southern-fried country rock and Americana. Should be a fun time. Here is what ConnectSavannaah.com said about the band not too long ago:
Junkyard Angel, the latest project from The Marshall Brothers, Stewart (of established Americana act Stewart & Winfield) and Jim (of the defunct local cover band Backwoods), this straight-up rock and roll act’s members are based in both Savannah and Athens, and established in each town’s music scenes. The new group (which is just beginning to gig out with some regularity during a slow period in Stewart & Winfield’s touring schedule) boasts four songwriters, and plans to cut their first album in August. Additional members include guitarist Scotty Rahn from local Stones tribute band Monkey Man, and Rick Williams, drummer for the Park Bench Trio (and roots-rock semi-stars Bloodkin). At times, Junkyard Angel is joined by pedal steel man A.J. Adams. In addition to their own material, the group augments their sets with nuggets from The Flying Burrito Brothers, Johnny Cash and George Jones catalogs, as well as plenty of “old-school” Dead, and Dylan tunes.

You can find Junkyard Angel on MySpace here, but unfortunately there are no sound clips. However, Stewart Marshall's other band, Stewart & Winfield, does have a nice website with plenty of sound files. Check them out.
We have secured one Junkyard Angel mp3 -- a cover of Bob Dylan's "Down in the Flood." You can listen to it here:
