Description:
Timbales rumble. The lounge comes alive. Hathaway’s voice cuts through the tension on the album's title track: “Beating of your heart banging like a drum / Next wave sail right over amber waves / They tumble on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on,” and Athens has found the soundtrack to playing Frisbee in grassy fields all summer long. There’s Tin Pan Alley piano (“It’s Alright”) and speaking in tongues (“Mama Shake”) and a return to exotic Caribbean jazz rhythms (“Baby Roux”) that showcases the percussion prowess of Jonathan Solomon. Here’s hoping Hathaway scores a lucrative long-term performance contract at a high-end island resort near the equator that gets several hundred days of sunshine every year.
Bio:
Since arriving in Athens, Lefty has played with many talented local musicians, establishing himself as part of the hard-working Classic City's music community. Local journalists have coined him as a force on the keys, layering elements of funky jazz tied in with roots-y soul. Lefty and his band have been compared to artists like Little Feat, JJ Cale, Leon Russell, Allman Brothers, Dr. John, The Meters, and even Bill Withers. The debut full length LP "Shacks" (Plough Lane Records 2012) is a barrel house of emotion spawning from an 18 month session at The Quad & Vision Sound Lab in Nashville, TN and Full Moon Studios in Lefty's hometown of Athens, GA. Lefty is contributing to the growth of the Athens music scene as a founding members of Athens Music Collective. The revamped line up features Mike Strickland (Tent City), Clint Swords (The Bareknuckle Band), Avery Dylan (ADP), and Solomon Wright (Ex-Dubconscious, Cherry Royale). Fans that see a Lefty Hathaway show should always expect a little soul, groove, blues, and country at every rocking show.

¶   “I was completely blown away by Lefty's performance. A bit bluesy, a bit soul, a lot jam and a bit rock and roll, it's a real treat to hear. ”  Jordan Stepp - Athens Music Junkie
¶   “Lefty Hathaway is a force on the keys, whether he's playing them for his own band, Franck's outfit or Lionz. He seems to enjoy every song he plays - if I could play the piano like that, I'd smile, too.” 
Joe VanHoose - Athens Banner Herald
¶   "Lefty Hathaway is one of the funky-est, soulful players that you'll lay your eyes on."  Mountainfreak.net
¶   ““Hathaway's gruff, soulful howl wails over dazzling keyboards, classic organ and extra funky guitar. Elements of jumping jazz tied in with rootsy soul throughout the record. Fleas Flies and Fodder pops with all the energy of a live band.””  Michelle Gilzenrat - Flagpole Magazine

 AVERY DYLAN - Electric Guitars. Avery Dylan is a well known blues guitarist known for his flashy and prodigy-esque playing. A Virginia transplant, Avery has been right at home in Georgia with his excellent sense of the southern rock tone as well as the Delta blues approach to singing through his guitar.
