Sequoyah Prep School

During the day Saturday I was pondering what to do for my Saturday night. As usual I read through Laurie Kosters "Charlotte Events Calendar" to see what was going on this evening.

As a music fan, I try to see performers that I haven't seen before. Joe Kuhlman's Evening Muse is one of my favorite venues and Laurie had posted a couple of shows featuring performers I had not seen before. One of them was a rock band out of Florence, South Carolina named "Sequoyah Prep School". I went out to their MySpace page and listened to a couple of their tunes. They really sounded good, so I decided to go ahead and check them out even if they were performing the late show.

Turns out they are even better live than their MySpace tunes led me to believe. A very smooth rock-n-roll band featuring three guitars, a bass player and a drummer, these guys blend very well. I think the positive difference with this band is they have a very good lead singer in Justin Osborne. His pop-rock sounding voice brings harmony to a talented group of musicians whose blend results in a very credible rock sound.

The band members are: Justin Osborne, West Jones, Joel Ivy, Jordan Hicks, and Johnnie Matthews. Hopefully you can catch these rockers at a venue near you.

A few photos from the show can be seen via my Musicians Portfolio.

Cheers,
