7 Sharp 9

July 08, 2010

Known as one of the top live rock bands in the southeast and midwest.  With influences like Tonic, Toad The Wet Sprocket and the Goo Goo Dolls the music of 7 Sharp 9 is an intelligent blend of 'thick vocals, driving bass, drums as good as Peart, and scorching guitars' (Southeast Performer Magazine Review). This Atlanta-based band has been busy since Georgia fans voted them the 'Best New Local Band' in Creative Loafing's 'Best Of Atlanta 2002' issue:
