The
Devastators |
(rockabilly) |

Pure retro-cool. This three-piece
rockabilly outfit from Cullman County will shake,
rattle, and roll all over you as they rock this town inside
out. And whatever you do, don't mess with their blue suede
shoes.

Halfdown
Thomas |
(rock) |

A
fantastic live act, Cullman's own HalfDown Thomas
has shared billing with the best local bands (Suburban Love
Junkies, Adelayda, Lynam), as well as some of the best
regional and national acts to come to this area (Fuel, Hot
Action
Cop, Kings of Leon).
In the summer of 2004, HDT won a competitive 3 round battle
of the bands to become
Alabama's lone official representative in the "Imprint Records Search
for the Next Rock Star". HalfDown Thomas then traveled to Gulfport, MS,
to compete in the finals and ultimately finished a strong second place. Website: http://www.halfdownthomas.com |

time.
