You can choose current or all time.

For Waycross, Ga

Gram Parsons would have to be the all timer.


Currently I would say The Woodgrains are the best.

Alabama Shakes.

They are the only ones who ever 'made it'.

you're from waycrosse.

But seriously, I'm from a small town that hasn't ever really produced anything of note.

IMHO this is the best record ever produced by a BR rock band:

The Basement Wall - "Never Existed" (1968)

3 Doors Down came from the neighboring community. Same school district if that counts.

Steve Earle lived in Sulphur, LA (my hometown) for a little while when he was a kid. Across the river in Lake Charles, I guess we could claim Lucinda Williams as well.

Not a band, but James brown lived 15 minutes from me and I have been to and inside his house. I also met him.


Also, 2 of 3 members of Lady Antebellum (sp?)from Augusta Ga. 20 minutes from me.

Not bands but

Where I live:

Van Cliburn
Lead Belly
James Burton

My hometowns are West Monroe and Huntsville, AL.

I don't know anyone from Huntsville, I guess we could claim Bo Bice. I know there is a famous old country singer from West Monroe, Webb Pierce. As you all know, Tim McGraw is from Start which is 20 minutes away from West Monroe. but he is a better actor than singer.

I'm from Nashville, and truth be told it's hard to figure out what bands are actually from there as most are born elsewhere and migrate to Nashville.
