From his Dove award-winning gospel albums to his genre-defining southern rock anthems and CMA award- winning country hits, few artists have left a more indelible mark on America’s musical landscape than Charlie Daniels. An outspoken patriot, beloved mentor to young artists and still a road warrior at age 77, Charlie has parlayed his passion for music into a multi-platinum career and a platform to support the military, underprivileged children and others in need. The band’s hits include “Drinkin’ My Baby Goodbye”, “The Devil Went Down to Georgia”, and “The South’s Gonna Do It Again”.

The Marshall Tucker Band is an American southern rock/country rock band originally from Spartanburg, South Carolina. The band's blend of rock, rhythm and blues, jazz, country and gospel helped establish the southern rock genre in the early 1970s. The band has recorded and performed continuously under various lineups for nearly 40 years. The Marshall Tucker Band’s hits include “Can’t You See”, “Heard it in a Love Song”, “Fire on the Mountain”, “This Ol’ Cowboy”, and “Take The Highway”.
