Joel Timmons, singer and songwriter with the group Sol Driven Train (coming to Edwards’ Main Street Grill on September 3) laughs when he talks about the band’s 1000th show, 10 Years together, their latest cd Believe and the band’s new association with Charlotte-based worldwide booking agency, Blue Mountain Artists. “We are honored to be a part of Blue Mountain Artists. 2010 has been a great year for us. We’ve toured from the Virgin Islands to Lake Tahoe, released a new album, and partnered with a stellar booking agency.” Like so many groups, Sol Driven Train relys on a small support team (their manager is Brian Asplin with Harmonized Records and their publicist is Tammy Brackett with Moonstruck Promotions) to help with business but fill their calendar and plan tours themselves.
“It’s tedious to book tours, but we honestly have gotten very good at it.” says Timmons. “Rusty Cole takes the booking reigns most of the time, but we all pitch in. It will be really nice to have Blue Mountain take care of us so we can take care of making the best music possible.” “I manage the Double Door and these guys became one of the acts we booked on a regular basis.” comments Double Door Manager and booking agent Micah Davidson with Blue Mountain Artists. “I was always impressed with the personalities in the band and their attention and dedication to work. And then there’s the MUSIC! Astounding players, total pros. We’re really looking forward to working with them.”
