The Old Lady has a new favorite band.

She happened to be in downtown Valdosta at lunchtime and caught Sundance Jenkins performing on the courthouse square as part of the weeklong Brown Bag Concert Series.

The gum-chewing front guy in the Hawaiian shirt said “We only do love songs.  Well, other than our Michael Bolton set.  We celebrate his entire catalog!”  Then he added, “Seriously, we’re gonna do a little of this a little of that.”  Boy howdy, didn’t they!

This band ranges from country to rock to rockabilly to funk.  They played one tune with a really Goth heavy metal beat.  They are all over the place, and they are GREAT at ALL of it!  They OWNED that Wenger Showmobile provided by the Valdosta Lowndes County Parks and Recreation Authority!

Terry Chitwood can flat freakin' PLAY!

Terry Chitwood, the lead guitar, the man who seldom sang and never spoke, is HOT.  The man sports bifocals, a graying goatee, armfuls of tattoos, and the man can flat freakin’ play.  He blew the Old Lady away on their cover of Dire Straights’ Sultans of Swing.  He sizzled on Bon Jovi’s Wanted Dead or Alive.   That Goth heavy metal tune?  The Old Lady can’t put her finger on the title, but it hit her demographic dead center.  She repeats: the man can flat freakin’ PLAY!

And lest she forget, the Old Lady would like to reminisce fondly on Sundance Jenkins’ segue from Play That Funky Music White Boy into Superstitious into Rapper’s Delight: OMG you had to be there!  A barefooted not-so-young lady dressed all in bright yellow got up and boogied unashamedly, and the Old Lady nodded with understanding.

You can hear some sample tunes by this band at http://www.sundancejenkins.com but if you have the sense God gave a goose you’ll plan to catch them live; they are consummate showpeople and know how to structure a set!  The aforementioned Terry Chitwood, Mark Swift, Kelsey Stone, Mark Praine, and H. Aaron Strickland have all been around the block a few times and this is NOT their first rodeo.  They’ll give you more than an Eight Second Ride as the Jake Owen song says, and by the way their cover does it more than justice.

Check’em out at Mulligan’s in Remerton, Georgia (part of Valdosta) on Friday, May 9, 2014; at the Cypress Grill in Cordele, Georgia on Saturday, May 10, 2014; at Lucky’s in Remerton on Saturday, May 24, 2014; or Rascal’s in Lake Park, Georgia, on Friday, June 13, 2014.  There are maps for all these gigs on their website so don’t give the Old Lady any whiny “I didn’t know how to find the place” excuses.

Go see Sundance Jenkins live!  SUPPORT LIVE LOCAL MUSIC!  Listen to the Old Lady!
