Back in Time was formed in the summer of 2009, becoming one of the best “horn” bands around featuring the hits of beach, soul and rock ’n roll. The core of the band came from veterans of the 1960’s and 1970’s rock ‘n roll scene in Athens and northeast Georgia. The Axemen, the Athens Rogues and Cloud Nine helped form the nucleus of Back in Time. With the addition of a talented, young lead singer, back then, Hall County’s Singing Deputy, along with two trumpets, a saxophone and trombone, Back in Time was born.
Using songs from the original artists of the 60’s, 70’s and beyond, the band put together arrangements that were true to the original recordings. Arrangements by Tom Wallace (arranger for the UGA Redcoat Band) accentuate the individual talents of the band.
Band members include Jonathan Jackson – Lead vocalist; Bob Cowles – Alto, Tenor and Baritone Saxophones and Vocals; Tom Wallace – Trumpet, Arranger and Vocals; Michael Crook – Trumpet and Vocals; Rory Crook – Trombone and Vocals; Allen Beach – Guitar and Vocals; John Harriman – Bass Guitar and Vocals; Mike Mauldin – Drums; Glen Brown – Vocals and Guitar; Jim Black – Auxiliary Percussion; Mercer Crook – Keyboards and Vocals.
