He wrote the #1 song for the Eli Young Band, of North Texas.
Now if we can just get the Eli Young Band to open for Tim McGraw (ULM) we can add another connection.

Possible future members. Luke Bryan graduated from Ga Southern and Eric Church from App State.
You are going to critique my post then post two non conference musicians? Enjoy your FCS playoffs on ESPN 12
I didn't see your post as we posted at the same exact time. Just a coincidence.
I am looking forward to the playoffs and hopefully 4 more wins. A little bummed though as we should have been leading UGA 14-10 at the half, but the refs called a phantom chop block on 4th and 1 which we converted. Should have been 1st and goal from the 3 with less than a minute to go. We would have punched it in easy as we ran all over them.
Don't know if it counts, I've played punk rock since I was 18. 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.
