The Georgia Thunderbolts with Peach Jam Host Jeremy Powell

In this special bonus episode of Peach Jam Podcast, host Jeremy Powell welcomes back The Georgia Thunderbolts, a Southern rock band hailing from Rome, Ga. Fresh off a European tour, the band members — Riley, Zach, Logan, Bristol, and T.J. — share hilarious and memorable road stories, from navigating the streets of Europe without air conditioning to bonding with their English driver, James. Their adventures, both on and off stage, offer a glimpse into the life of a rising Southern rock band playing for enthusiastic crowds across the globe.

The band also opens up about the release of their highly anticipated new album, reflecting on the growth they’ve experienced both musically and personally over the years. T.J. notes the maturity in their sound, while the group discusses the creative process behind the album and their eagerness to perform new songs live for their fans. Despite some challenges, including a hometown performance in the summer heat, the Thunderbolts maintain a sense of humor and gratitude for their journey so far.

With plenty of upcoming tour dates across the Southeast, including a much-anticipated show in Cartersville, The Georgia Thunderbolts are staying close to their roots while continuing to conquer new stages. Tune in for an entertaining and candid conversation with one of the South's most promising rock bands.
