The Rattlers

About Me

A now familiar name in the Athens music scene, The Rattlers bring a unique rock and roll sound that will grab your attention and won't let it go. The music is guitar driven, with commanding vocals, and a driving rhythm that screams sounds reminiscent of musical legends Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimi Hendrix, and Joe Bonamassa, among others. We have been described as "a rock band that has mastered the straight-forward 12-bar blues. (The Rattlers) are a southern rock band that continues to build an impressive following as its sound has evolved from straight blues to edgier rock..." If you've never seen us live, The Rattlers invite you to hang with us at our next show. If you'd like to book The Rattlers for a show or a private party, please contact our manager, Chuck Whitehead @ 706.202.3357, or send us an email at [email protected]'s Rock and Roll!!! ..
