Formed
in 1969, OKOLONA melds three decades of country music legacy into a classic
roots sound that is at once honky tonk, rock-a-billy, country rock, with
a strong tinge of blues. OKOLONA has finished production on their tenth
CD, Made From Scratch, a compilation of in your face original music that
reflects their history as a leading regional country music band.
Spawned in the
same south Atlanta honky tonk tradition that produced Jerry Reed, Roy Druskey,
Pete Drake, and other Atlanta country music legends; OKOLONA provides a
driving show that is pure Americana.
OKOLONA has been
seasoned by years of club performance and has headlined regional venues
such as the McIntosh Opry and Wiregrass Opry. Performing for a crowd of
thousands, in clubs, or live on regional radio, OKOLONA exudes energy and
enthusiasm that connects with the audience immediately.
Their songs include
evocative ballads such as Take Me Back to Good Old Days Again, honky tonk
anthems such as Hello Bottle, and swing tinged Nobody Knows the Trouble
I’m In. OKOLONA is ready to impart a walking, talking honky tonk history
lesson any time and is truly world class
