Hanson hasn't had the easiest time since landing in Nashville. The devastating tornado in early March 2020 destroyed Basement East, the venue where he worked as an audio engineer. Shortly thereafter, COVID shutdowns ensured uncertainty for all musicians and music industry employees.

He has been touring as part of Rumours ATL: a Fleetwood Mac Tribute Band, and his Nashville workplace has been rebuilt and reopened. "Art is a matter of life or death for some of us," Hanson wrote on a recent Facebook post for a thrilling new single, "Highland Rim Speedway," that Nomenclature just released as part of a Glow Records Summer Singles 2021 compilation.

Worsham has been enjoying playing bass in Sean Solo's full band's live shows, and he's gearing up to play some trio shows with Matt McMillan and the City Limits and Jeremy King.

Worsham has been producing some new music for local hip-hop artist datguyrell (@datguyrell on Instagram) who he describes as a "talented, cool, chill guy." Look for that out soon, and also look out for a few songs from Worsham that he's working on finishing up. "I've noticed there's a lot of cool bands forming and I hope to see that continue," Worsham says. "Macon needs some momentum and I think it's starting to happen." @jamesworshammusic on Facebook @worshammixing on Facebook The Georgia Allman Brothers Band Association is thrilled to announce that GABBAFest, the music-filled, history- soaked yearly reunion party/concert/ jam for Allman Brothers fans, is back on for 2021.
