| Capricorn Rhythm Section and Bonnie Bramlett |
| (Macon, Ga.) The Georgia Music Hall of Fame and Museum presents a
southern rock concert event scheduled for Saturday, March 25 at
Nashville Station. The Capricorn Rhythm Section, who played a sell-out
show at the Georgia Music Hall of Fame and Museum last fall, will be
joined by Bonnie Bramlett.
Bonnie Bramlett began her career as an "Ikette," making history as the
first Caucasian female to sing with Ike and Tina Turner. In the late
sixties she formed Bonnie and Delaney with her husband Delaney Bramlett.
The group was the first white act signed to Stax records and scored hits
with "Never-ending Song of Love" and "Only You Know and I Know." Bonnie
and Delaney toured with Eric Clapton and often collaborated with other
artists including Duane Allman, Dave Mason and George Harrison. During
this time, Bonnie also worked as a songwriter, collaborating with Eric
Clapton on "Let It Rain" and "Coming Home" and with Leon Russell on
"Please Give Peace a Chance" and "Superstar." Recorded by artists the
Carpenters, Luther Vandross, Cher, and many others, "Superstar" is a
timeless hit that solidified Bramlett's musical career.
Bonnie continued her musical career as a solo act after splitting from
Delaney in the early 1970's, recording for both Columbia and Capricorn
Records. She was backed by the Average White Band on her debut solo
album Sweet Bonnie Bramlett. Bonnie is also an actress and had roles in
films such as The Doors and the television series Roseanne.
The Capricorn Rhythm Section originally began as a group of in-house
studio musicians for Capricorn Records in the 1970's. Reformed and
revamped, today's Capricorn Rhythm Section is a group of close friends
who are bringing their personal jam sessions to select venues. The group
includes performer and producer Paul Hornsby, Bill Stewart, Scott Boyer
and Tommy Talton of the 1970's group Cowboy, and producer Johnny
Sandlin. Between them, the Capricorn Rhythm Section has worked with big
industry names like Percy Sledge, Billy Joe Shaver, the Marshall Tucker
Band, Charlie Daniels, Elvin Bishop, Wet Willie, and the Allman Brothers
Band.
Nashville Station will act as the concert venue. Doors open an hour
before the 9:00 p.m. concert.
