Jacksonville, Florida (PressExposure) September 08, 2007 -- Man! Working in the music industry sure has some absolutely killer perks! You get to work with some very interesting people, tons of free T-shirts, DVD's and other merchandise goodies, an unimaginable CD collection, and you get turned on to all the best up and coming bands long before the general populous ever hears about them, and are the first to get the scoop on all the inside news on all of your favorite acts, you get to take part in making music history, and BEST OF ALL...you get free VIP tickets to all of your favorite artist's concerts! Is that cool or what?! (You bet your A row seats it is!)

And though getting to experience great shows is the norm, rather than the exception, every once in a while a tour comes along that even gets us execs excited! Such is the case with an upcoming tour featuring two absolutely prolific 'super' bands that the immensely cool, and hard working team at
T&T Management and Booking Agency is presently putting together. The headliners on this tour happen to be way on up the list of my personal favorite bands, so of course, I've got to turn you on to this! ...(But not before teasing, tempting and tantalizing you just a little bit first).

Picture this... Legendary former members of The Allman Brothers Band, Dickey Betts & Great Southern, Gregg Allman & Friends, Atlantic Star, Sanford & Townsend, Southern Legend, Clarence Carter and more, joining forces and combining their incredible talents to form a blistering hot 'super band'!

Well as sure as it's my job and privilege to turn you on to them, it has indeed happened! The band is TGZ, and what's more, they have an absolutely stellar CD out entitled, "Living Dangerously," (on King Mojo Records). And of course, after recently being signed exclusively to the esteemed roster of T&T Management and Booking Agency, a tour is in the works to promote this outstanding CD.

Just as the legendary members that make up TGZ has set the standard in their perspective genres of music in the past, once again, these great players are setting the standard in their collective genres, which range from, rock, jazz, blues, contemporary R&B, soul and beyond! Needless to say, their live performances make for an electrifying concert experience concert goers won't soon forget!

The world class performers that make up TGZ are:

* "Dangerous" Dan Toler on Guitar~ (The Allman Brothers Band, Gregg Allman and Friends and The Dickey Betts and Great Southern).

* "Scary" Ron Gary on Piano, Synthesizer, Percussion and Vocals~ (Webster Young and Tom Browne).

* Ed Zinner on Guitar~ (Ed is the former guitarist of the band Southern Legend, and was also the Producer and Executive Producer of this CD).

* Avon Lucas on Bass~ (Atlantic Star and Peaches and Herb).

* John Townsend, Vocals and Songwriting~ (Of the Sanford & Townsend Band).

* Tony Green on Vocals~ (Incredibly smooth and sultry vocalist).

* Matt Zeiner on Keyboards~ (Dickey Betts & Great Southern).

* John McKnight is a lead footed force to be reckoned with on Drums~

* Floyd Miles on Vocals and Percussion~ (The Universals, Clarence Carter, The Allman Brothers Band, Gregg Allman and Friends, and through his own successful solo career as a musician).

As if TGZ touring were not mind-blowing enough, as always, CEO, Tony Saldano of T&T Management & Booking Agency, has gone above and beyond, and even outdid himself on this tour, by teaming TGZ up with yet another 'super band' that is rocking the world over.

Now picture this... The blazing guitar licks of former Outlaws guitarist, Steve Grisham, with the bass prowess of Phil Stokes, formerly of Pure Prairie League, combined with the sizzling finesse of Barry Rapp on keyboards, formerly of The Henry Paul Band, and the incredible dynamics of awe inspiring drummer, Pug Baker, formerly of Rocking Horse and The Knack; all combining their best chops together, to bring you some of the absolute best performances in rock, blues, Southern boogie, and more, that the music industry has to offer, via their nationally and world renown band, Ghost Riders.

Two ways which definitely define which bands are hot enough to melt gold or platinum, and that is by who the execs listen to in their 'off time'. (We have to listen to music all day long at our jobs, so you know the bands that music industry execs listen to when they are NOT on the job, has got to be THE STUFF.) And another is by who all the other heavy duty performers in the biz want to perform with. One thing is for certain about Ghost Riders, is you never know who is going to join them on stage! Known to join Ghost Riders on stage have been such greats as George McCorkle, founding member of The Marshall Tucker Band, who had joined the band not long before his recent and untimely death on June 29th of this year; and such greats as Johnny Neel, (formerly of The Allman Brothers, Gov't Mule, amongst numerous other top acts Johnny Neel has performed with), Mike Estes and Randall Hall of Lynyrd Skynyrd, and so many other greats that have known to often join in performing with Ghost Riders. This has become such a frequent event, that a separate band was formed just for these occasions, and when their multitudes of fans demand to see them perform together, in which case, they are appropriately billed as Ghost Riders~ The Legends.

Also, the fact that both of these outstanding bands are comprised of some well renowned and respected performers from some of the music industry's most legendary bands, speaks volumes about the caliber of musicianship one can expect from both of these bands, from both in their live performances and on their CD's.

Ghost Riders also have a smoking new CD out, entitled "Back to the Rock", which is proving to be quite successful thus far. And of course, Ghost Riders are touring to promote their celebrated new CD release; and through the brilliance of Tony Saldano, of the very elite and esteemed T&T Management & Booking Agency, T&T's US and European "The Back to the Rock/Living Dangerously Tour", will no doubt, leave audiences thoroughly well rocked!

And those who are familiar with the high caliber of great shows that T&T Management & Booking Agency is famous for presenting, won't be a bit surprised to possibly catch some of the hottest rising acts recently signed to T&T, performing with Ghost Riders and TGZ, as special guests on this tour, such as: Greg Bowman, Q Public, Shameless, Joseph Patrick Moore or others.
