Decatur, GA · Southeast US

Artist management by a working musician.

Close to 1,000 shows logged — and still on the road. I play bass in Tribute: A Celebration of The Allman Brothers Band, The Core, and Wolves, Lower. I've lived the contracts, the load-outs, the deal-making, and the late-night payouts. I know what artists need from a manager because I'm one of them.

Bands We Book

Three working bands across the Southeast.

Each project is curated to find its own audience and sustain its own circuit.

Allgood Music Company

Allgood Music Company

Athens-born blues-rock veterans signed to A&M Records in the early '90s and chosen for the inaugural 1993 H.O.R.D.E. tour alongside Blues Traveler, Widespread Panic, and Col. Bruce Hampton. An eight-year first run shared stages with Dave Matthews Band, Phish, Gov't Mule, The Band, Neil Young, and the Allman Brothers Band.

Today original members Corky Jones, Mike Sain, and Clay Fuller bring Georgia boogie-woogie back for select dates — anchoring 35-year reunion runs and a steady stream of regional shows. The catalog runs deep, the chemistry is intact, and the audiences haven't gone anywhere.

The Core

The Core

A H.O.R.D.E. Festival revival project built as a festival-style live experience. Multi-band bills, outdoor stages, faithful arrangements with room to improvise — pulling from the artists that defined the era: Blues Traveler, Spin Doctors, Widespread Panic, Black Crowes, Allman Brothers Band, Phish, Lenny Kravitz, Béla Fleck.

Permanent six-piece lineup: Bill Taylor (bass), Josh Carson, Kevin Leahy, Chris Queen, Rob Sumowski, Bo Hembree. Guest appearances from Clay Fuller, Wayne Healy (Freddy Jones Band), and David Fisch round out larger bills.

Wolves, Lower

Wolves, Lower

A carefully constructed tribute to the formative years of R.E.M. — Murmur, Reckoning, Fables of the Reconstruction, Lifes Rich Pageant, Document. Authenticity, restraint, and the dynamics that defined the band's earliest live performances. Members include Kyle, Greg, Bill (formerly The Bitteroots) and Beavers (Moody Hollow).

Booked one weekend a year by design — the Jan 7-10, 2027 Decatur / Athens / Roswell run is set. The disciplined scarcity is the point: each show is rare, in-demand, and treated as a real event, not a routine.

    Why this works

    I've lived what every band on this roster lives.

    I've worked with Allgood Music Company for over a decade, and previously handled all artist management for The Bitteroots for more than 15 years. The common thread across every project: long-term thinking, respect for the craft, and a deep understanding of what it takes to make live music work — artistically and professionally.

    Today I work closely with three active projects — Allgood Music Company, The Core, and Wolves, Lower — allowing for hands-on involvement, thoughtful strategy, and sustainable growth. I'm still on stages most weekends, and that perspective stays with me at every desk-side decision.
