Hailing from Rome, Georgia, at the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, The Georgia Thunderbolts have blazed a trail for a new generation of classic and southern rock enthusiasts. Their sound, deeply rooted in soulful southern swagger, blistering blues, and raw rock, is reminiscent of the iconic rock ‘n’ roll legends that influenced their musical journey. Their eclectic inspirations span from southern gospel and Hank Williams to the grit of Black Sabbath, the southern rock charm of the Allman Brothers and Lynyrd Skynyrd and great Georgia singers like James Brown and Otis Redding. It’s not just their music that captures attention; their deep-rooted history in Rome, a town steeped in rich agricultural heritage, influences their lyrical narratives and showcases their authentic southern spirit.

The band includes Riley Couzzourt [guitar], Zach Everett [bass, classical guitar, harmony vocals], TJ Lyle [vocals, harmonica, keyboards], Bristol Perry [drums] and Logan Tolbert [guitar].

From their early days, the band has shared memorable moments on stage with music titans such as Black Stone Cherry, Deep Purple, the Allman Betts Band and Blackberry Smoke. With tracks that blend anthemic guitar riffs, wild harmonica, and pulse-pounding drums, The Georgia Thunderbolts have proven that they are here to rustle up a new era of rock ‘n’ roll. Their timeless sound, combined with their relentless work ethic and humility, positions them as torchbearers, ensuring the legacy of southern rock remains vibrant and relevant for generations to come.
