Artist of the Day - The Holman Autry Band

If Southern/Instrumental rock is your thing, Holman Autry Band is your up and coming group. With roots near Athens, in Madison County, Georgia, Holman Autry Band brings a distinct sound that has sold out the Georgia Theater among other clubs around Georgia.
