Southern Rock Allstars

Southern Rock Allstars

The Southern Rock Allstars are a band that got its name from the history/lineage of its former members, but the original members who gave it the allure and true meaning of a Southern rock supergroup have moved on or died. Its current lineup consists of a former bassist for The Rossington Band, which was a 1-album act formed by Gary Rossington of Lynyrd Skynyrd and his wife, which is a footnote in the annals of Southern Rock, and the remainder were essentially one-time sidemen and, believe it or not, even "roadies" for some prominent Southern Rock acts.

History

Based in Muscle Shoals, Alabama the group at one time featured Jakson Spires, formerly the original drummer with Blackfoot, and Dave Hlubek, former guitarist & chief songwriter for Southern rock legendary group Molly Hatchet. Spires died at 53 of a brain aneurysm in Florida in 2005 and Hlubek the same year rejoined Molly Hatchet as the only original member of that group, leaving its current lineup devoid of any members that would be considered a bonafide, notable "all-star". Dave Hlubek was replaced by Duane Roland formerly of Molly Hatchett in 2003. Jimmy Farrar also formerly of Molly Hatchet joined in 2002. Jimmy still plays with the band. Jay Johnson formerly the guitarist and a vocalist for the Rossington Band and Blackfoot was also in the band from 1999 to 2005 and continues to join them on stage on selected dates.
