Knew they were from BG but did not know they were big Western fans. I guess that's the only reason not to like them.

Red Wolves, you have a round about link to the King. Elvis was made an honorary member of TKE Fraternity at ASU. That's pretty cool and trumps us all in my book.

That is true! Also, David Nail of Kennett Missouri attended A-state.

UNT-X Norah Jones. 9 Grammy awards.

Let's not forget that one of the best mandolin players as well as being the "King of Telluride" is from BG as well, Mr. Sam Bush!!

Sam Bush

I was in a straight punk rock band, varied from 7 seconds style to more like 90's skate punk, but my modern incarnation is drifted to doing some different kind of stuff, video doesn't show it, but we do stuff from more punk type stuff to ska and funk which gives us a little more diversity.

Fun stuff. Would love to see some of your ska and funk stuff. I played in a ska band back when I lived in Macon (starting as a Mercer undergrad) and love to see bands keeping the spirit going.

As far as GSU musicians, besides Ludacris, Joey Cape from Lagwagon and William DuVall (now Alice In Chains' lead singer) apparently attended, but I don't know if they graduated. Well...they attended according to Wikipedia, anyway.

The guy who's gotten the most press lately might be Coy Bowles, guitarist for the Zac Brown band. He studied jazz here, graduated, and is now pretty successfully doing his thing.

Holy Crap, Joey Cape went to GSU? That is really awesome! I'm a big Lagwagon fan, and really enjoyed his duel acoustic work with the recently deceased Tony Sly who was one of my biggest song writing influences. As for my stuff, we plan on trying to hit the studio in the new year, and when we do I'll let ya know and probably send ya a copy of the cd. Do you have any video or sound from yer old band anywhere online, I'd love to check it out.

Chris Carrabba (lead singer of Dashboard Confessional) is an FAU grad.

But I havn't heard of them in a while.

Besides that, FAU is the only university in the nation that has it's own real recording label.
