Decatur, GA · Southeast US

Artist management by a working musician.

I'm a bass player first. 35 years in the Southeastern scene and still out most weekends, with Tribute: A Celebration of The Allman Brothers Band, The Core, and Wolves, Lower. I occasionally play and record with Jupiter Coyote.

BTAM is the other half of that. I book and manage Allgood Music Company, The Core and Wolves, Lower, and I sit on the board of Amplify My Community. I also spent 15 years with The Bitteroots playing bass and booking and managing that band.

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

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 2nd Annual 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. 2026 marks 35 years since Ride The Bee (1991), celebrated with the #RTB35 spring and fall runs, from Savannah and Macon to Nantucket, closing in Birmingham.

The Core on stage

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, Freddy Jones Band, Allgood, and many more from the iconic tours.

The Core is made up of some of Georgia's finest musicians, including Josh Carson (Acoustic Workshop, Parts & Labor), Bo Hembree (Dreams So Real, Diablo Sandwich), and Chris Queen (Allgood, Phil Keaggy, Dreams So Real). The band is powered by a seasoned rhythm section featuring Kevin Leahy (Bodeans, Sugarland, Shawn Mullins, Allgood, Zac Brown), Rob Sumowski (Allgood, Billy Pilgrim, Shawn Mullins, Kevn Kinney, Brent Cobb), and Bill Taylor (Jupiter Coyote, The Bitteroots). Former members also include Clay Fuller (Allgood), Wayne Healy (Freddy Jones Band).

Wolves, Lower at The Avon Theater

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 Bryant, Greg Sims, Bill Taylor (formerly The Bitteroots), Michael Beavers (Moody Hollow), and Mike Killeen.

Other band commitments keep the schedule small, just a handful of shows each year, but every appearance is a deep exploration of the R.E.M. catalog and treated as a real event.

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.

I work closely with a small roster, Allgood Music Company, The Core, and Wolves, Lower, which allows 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.
