DELTA MOON ROCK/BLUES/ROOTS MUSIC $10 in Advance $12 @ the Door Doors @ 8:30PM Show @ 10PM Click Here for Advance Tickets Tom Gray and Mark Johnson first met in an Atlanta music store. Tom tried to sell Mark a Dobro guitar out of the trunk of his car, the girl with Mark started whispering, “Let’s get out of here.” Mark didn’t buy the guitar, but he and Tom exchanged phone numbers. Soon the two were getting together regularly, Tom playing lap steel and Mark on bottleneck slide guitar. Playing clubs and festivals around Atlanta and the South, the band quickly gathered a wall full of local “best” awards. After Delta Moon won the International Blues Challenge in Memphis in 2003, the band widened its travel to include the US, Canada, and Europe. Gina Leigh left the band in 2004, and Kristin Markiton sang with the band for the next year and half. After her departure, Delta Moon became a quartet with Tom Gray writing and singing all the lyrics, and the band’s focus intensified. Relix magazine said in a review of 2007’s Clear Blue Flame, “Delta Moon has found its true voice.”In late 2007, after years of revolving-door rhythm sections, Delta Moon settled on Darren Stanley on drums and Franher Joseph on bass. The two have played together since their time in the University of Georgia marching band, when Darren played snare and Franher played Sousaphone. “We’ve got the line-up we need now,” said Tom. “There’s a whole world of music for us to make.”
