Zac Brown Band DistributionNo Longer Welcomes Affiliates - Help Us Continue To Offer Our Services

-We love to promote independent music, and artists like the Zac Brown Band are the reason we started this project, but the new distributor for the Zac Brown Band's music does not offer an affiliate program, and his music is no longer available on iTunes, Amazon, or CDbaby.  The New Distributors have limited Zac Brown Band fan's options of where they can purchase The Foundation, or other Zac Brown Band music, which breaks the independent spirit of Zac Brown Band's music, and the independent music computer scene.

Help Us by sending an email here - Be nice, ask them to start an affiliate program so websites like The Georgia Jukebox can bring you the best new independent music. Thanks! -

The Georgia Jukebox recently saw Sam Thacker promoting his album Above the Underneath, at Capital City Bar in Milledgeville Georgia. The Houston Texas native has shared the stage with, Collective Soul, Sister Hazel, Tonic, Gavin DeGraw, and Marc Broussard (this show was with Corey Smith, another Jukebox favorite), and despite the unusually sparse crowd, Thacker gave the audience a professional show that demonstrated why there’s a good chance you’ll hear him on your radio soon.

Sam Thacker’s Above The Underneath – A Triumph

From the album’s first track “Serenade”, an introspective power-pop number that will have you singing along (and it got airplay on a handful of stations), to the Jazz-infused “Oh Well” and the encouraging “Guide You Well”, Above The Underneath is a triumph for Thacker, and a good indication of what’s to come

Song Of The Week Promotion

“I’m having a good time with “Song of the Week”, said Thacker. “Basically I’ve committed to writing and recording at least one new song a week. Every Monday I’m posting one of the new tunes up on my MySpace page and folks can download it for free. If they choose, there is a “donate” button where they can make a contribution to the cause but this is neither necessary nor expected. Each song stays up for one week and is replaced by a new one the next Monday. Once a song has been posted it will not be posted again. The goal with this is for fans to reach out to one another if they miss a song they want. I really want to encourage sharing, burning, etc among folks who want to listen to and spread my music. “

We think this is a great idea, and hope you donate when you download. These songs could be a collector’s item one day, and they’re just good songs.

New Sam Thacker Album Out Soon

The so-far untitled CD should be finished this month. Sam’s excited: “The songs are the best I’ve ever written and I feel like we’re capturing some really special performances in the studio as well”

We can’t wait

A former High-School Teacher coined a song that has become a graduation anthem heard all over the United States.

Corey Smith, a singer and songwriter, originally from Jefferson Georgia has defied the odds of independent artists, and garners new fans by the thousands every day. Corey Smith has been offered Recording Contracts, but because this artist is a product of the real world, he's chosen freedom. Freedom from pre-packaged, visually oriented corporations that have known to change a person or two.

I'm Not Gonna Cry: From Graduation to Cult Classic

The song, originally written for a local high school graduation, soon spread via myspace, mp3 swaps and word of mouth, and is now being used by High Schools all over the country for their graduation ceremonies.

I'm Not Gonna Cry Lyrics

Sunday Shoes, Cap and Gown
The whole town gathered around
Waited 18 years now it’s all comin down to this.
I scanned the crowd and it fills my soul
My best friends all here in rows
No turning back, Now its time to walk that line
This tassel is gonna turn
But when the moment passes by
We’ll just walk away
Then slowly grow apart 

But I’m not gonna cry, no
Not one sad or happy tear
I’ve waited my whole life
Now I’m gonna fly right outta here 

It’s a bittersweet goodbye, but I’m not gonna cry 

Friday night, football games,
First loves and first heartbreaks,
It didnt matter who won or lost,
Only how we played,
Memories as good as gold,
Tearin' up those mountain roads,
racin' out 53, to old georgetown,
sure we made a little trouble,
but learned from every mistake,
so theres no regret,
we've done the best we could 

so im not gonna cry, no
not one sad or happy tear
ive waited my whole life
now im gonna fly right outta here 

these have been the best years of my life
so im not gonna cry 

its been a lonely, winding journey
and we've lost a few along the way
still we've hung in there through the tribulations
now its time to celebrate
its our graduation day 

so im not gonna cry
not one sad or happy tear
ive waited my whole life
so im gonna fly right outta here 

this has been the best day of my life, so im not gonna cry 

its a bittersweet goodbye, im not gonna cry
