Joey Wray
(Lead Guitar & Vocals)
The year was "1967"...The 1st heart transplant recipient was in the
recover room, the 1st ATM was being installed, and Jimi Hendrix was burning up the guitar at the Monterey Pop Festival...Literally....and
Joey Wray was Born!
The gypsy woman was unavailable for comment, but it was clear that
a legend was born. Soon Joey began the journey to his destiny and started playing the guitar. Learning the music of the 60s and 70s he developed
a love for musical storytelling and the playing styles of Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton. Playing in a variety of bands covering all genres of music. While evolving into the music of the 80's & 90's, he also honed his skills as a performer. He became an entertainment exhibitionist, jumping
up on bar tops to rip out a blazing guitar solo.

As the millennium dawned, he found himself in Atlanta Georgia, a new world of entertainment possibilities. His new position with South Georgia's "The Wyatt Band" is one of love and enjoyment. Smoking guitar oriented music and soulful funk grooves are what Joey Wray brings to the table. So come to a show and strap yourself in for a ride on the wild side.

David Cook
Keyboard & Vocals
Starting at an early age, David began studying and playing organ and piano. Throughout his adolescent years, he was the boy who played piano at a sports oriented school. While in school, he participated in the Georgia ALL-STATE Choir for 4 years and started ear training under the auspices of Melvin Hodges, saxophonist of Apollo 4 and Music Teacher at Stone Mountain High School.
Deciding to make music his career, he started performing at dinner clubs and small bars around the east Atlanta area.
As he matured, he learned the value of being able to play 'pickup' by using his natural ability to hear intervals. This lead to becoming an arranger for many local Atlanta popular rock bands in the early 70's. This carried on thru and into the 80's as he put together numerous bands for Atlanta club owner Dee Ford.
