    Coy Bowles, Member of the Two-Time GRAMMY Award Winning and Multi

    Coy Bowles, member of the two-time GRAMMY Award winning and multi-platinum Zac Brown Band, will release his first solo album ‘Love Takes Flight’ via Southern Ground Records, Inc. on October 5th. Growing up as an only child in Thomaston, GA, Bowles’ creativity was fueled by his unique ability to engage in a multitude of artistic endeavors. Teaching himself guitar at the age of ten, Coy actively pursued music, prophetically meeting future band mate, Zac Brown, at West Georgia University. It was fellow Zac Brown Band member, Clay Cook, who encouraged Coy to book the studio and record the album. “Life is a ever turning road and love and loss are a part of it. This album is my journal of how the last few years have affected me and how I learned to release and heal while living a life of major success with Zac Brown Band” states Bowles. A combination of loss and heartache are evident themes throughout the album. Specifically, Coy was affected by the losses of a mentor, a student, and a childhood friend. Most of the songs of heartache Bowles wrote on the road with Zac Brown Band. Bowles says “Relationships are hard and so is the loss after the realization that it's never going to work.” Other songs like ‘Love Train’ are about being in love and the world spinning beneath your feet. ‘Follow the Sun’ is about friends of Bowles who joined the military. Musicians on the record include long time Fellowship members Jordan Shalhoup and David Englehard, Atlanta's first call drummer Mark Cobb of Y-O-U and Yacht Rock and Nashville studio and session bassist and producer, Matt Mangano.

Bryan sang “Fast,” followed by Rucker’s “If I Told You.” Jon Pardi was next with “Heartache On The Dance Floor.” Dierks Bent- ley admitted he was going for the “sympathy standing ovation” by singing “Can’t Be Replaced,” which mentions his beloved dog Jake, who died last year. The plan worked. “I’m now going to read off the names of those of you who have not added his single,” threatened SVP/Promo Royce Risser during his intro for Kip Moore. After Moore sang “More Girls Like You,” Lauren Alaina got the afternoon’s second standing ovation for her emotional rendition of “Three,” with co-writer and Sony artist Seth Ennis accompanying her on piano.

The session will end around 12:30 p.m. Bowles plays guitar, slide guitar, Dobro, piano and organ for the three-time Grammy Award-winning Zac Brown Band. Bowles also contributes to the group, which will be in Knoxville for a show Thursday evening, as a songwriter with writing credits that include three number one hit songs: “Knee Deep,” “Colder Weather” and “Sweet Annie.” Outside of music, Bowles writes children’s books about today’s issues, including Amy Giggles, Laugh Out Loud; Will Powers: Where There’s A Will There’s A Way; When You’re Feeling Sick; and Behind the Little Red Door, which has been gifted to 85,000 students by the Georgia Department of Early Care and Learning. Bowles writes these books, he says, with the hope of providing children, parents and teachers a common ground on which to face difficult issues so they can work together to create a better tomorrow. In the session, which will take place in the Mayor’s Office Conference Room, Bowles and the Mayor will work with students to beginning penning a collaborative story about Read City USA.
