Sly Willie Down 1998

Sly Willie Down is an original rock band based out of Atlanta, Georgia who has been generating excitement in clubs throughout the southeast with their original sound and unique style. Their songs and genre can be compared to Green Day and Marvelous 3 with a delivery like that of Metallica. The band is overwhelmingly accepted by Blink 182 and Korn fans. Sly Willie Down formed during the spring of 1998 from the ashes of a local garage rock band in the North Georgia area. Andy Jones’s innovative style of drum playing courted with David Bice’s (guitar) punk influence, Chris Collis’s (bass) unique groove and Stacy Gregory’s soulful vocals provide the musical background of the group. Still refusing to explain the band’s name, these four artists have come a long way since playing in venues that could be opened with a garage door opener. Since forming, Sly Willie Down has headlined at The Sports Hangar in Copperhill, Tennessee and The Duff in Cleveland, Tennessee. They impressed the audience at the Somber Reptile in Atlanta, Georgia.
