Formed in the classic city of Athens, GA, and together for almost half a decade, Sumilan has evolved into a sound uniquely their own. Showcased in their studio work and illuminated in their live performance, Sumilan blends prog rock, psychedelic trance, ambiance, and improv, all coalesced with infectious pop minded vocals. Apparent in their newest studio album, En Transit, Sumilan delivers a polished and powerful sound rooted in technique and grown with experience. 

With a live performance structured on embellished composition, yet played with rawness and attitude, their sound resonates beyond the venue. The symbiotic energy of the live show leaves the audience satisfied, yet thirsting for the next. With eyes into the future, the band is soul driven into an ever evolving sound that meets the challenge of today, while fostering continuity into the sound of tomorrow.

Psychedelic Blues Rock

Bird Dog Jubilee is a rock-n-roll collection of instrumentalists that blur the lines between structured songs and improvisational jams. While their roots run deep in Atlanta, their act is building up steam throughout Southeastern venues and festivals. Their chutzpah is epitomized by their ability to seamlessly meld tunes while encouraging impromptu collaborations with fellow musicians live on stage.

Each member has an eclectic set of influences in which they draw inspiration from, but they can always agree on The Band, Phish, or My Morning Jacket while on the road. The synergy of each member’s experience culminates live on stage providing a unique take each time you attend a performance.

Fresh off recording their debut 3-song EP at Prana Studios just outside the Atlanta City Limits, BDJ is ready to let it ring out and jam with you at their next show. Whether they are blending old ballads, or hashing out new grooves, this is act is always a sight to see at their crux. You gotta get up to get down and we are looking forward to seeing you there.

As a man of many talents, I have had the time with stellar opportunities to flow and grow in many fashions and forms. This is the newest edition of creative genius from source. I am the vessel by which the energetic expression is exemplified in a manner never attempted by me. Music came into the picture many moons ago. I have been able to play percussion for more than 25 years. During this developmental stage I have traveled from my point of origin to distant lands, while traveling and exploring my mind has been opened to the divine. The endless possibilities and gifts that have been bestowed upon me are what culminate this sound. Thank you for listening. 
Gassho 🙏
