The Rome Braves along with Classic Rock KZ 106 and Miller Lite announce that southern rock legends , The Marshall Tucker Band, will headline the All-Star Concert at the Forum in Rome on Monday June18th. Joining the Marshall Tucker Band will be country-blues artist Lee Roy Parnell and singer-song writer Randall Bramblett.

"This is a great lineup of entertainment to compliment the All-Star Extravaganza on Monday night. Fans can come early for the parade on Broad Street and then go to The Forum for a great rock n roll show," says Rome General Manager Michael Dunn.

Compared to Southern rock pioneers and label-mates The Allman Brothers Band, The Marshall Tucker Band had a more country-rock feel, with the flute being a key lead instrument in their sound. "Can't You See", "Fire on the Mountain", and "This Ol' Cowboy" are among their songs that received much radio airplay, while "Heard It in a Love Song" made it to #14 as a single. The Marshall Tucker Band still plays up to 150 shows in a year. They are currently with Ramblin’ Records.

                

Artist Lee Roy Parnell, the Texas-born country hit-maker with a streak of southern rock ‘n’ soul ‘n’ blues in his system, has signed with Universal South Records and released his first new album in four years, Back To The Well. Parnell’s second album, Love Without Mercy, in 1992 was the most successful of his career, containing three top-10 hits, namely the title track, "Tender Moment," and "What Kind of Fool Do You Think I Am."

  

Randall Bramblett has kept great company over the years. From his early career with Capricorn Records (Cowboy, Gregg Allman, Sea Level) to his more recent tours with Widespread Panic, Traffic, Bonnie Raitt, and Steve Winwood, Bramblett has worked with the best in the business and generates a tremendous buzz and rave reviews wherever his band performs.
