Before their breakout hit “Bartender (Sittin’ at a Bar),” Georgia-based band Rehab had a legion of fans throughout the Southeast. This group tripped effortlessly across musical genres with their hybrid of rock, hip-hop and country, to eventually establish a loyal cult following across the nation.
After spending a decade of performing more than 150 shows a year, Rehab has decided to bid farewell to the music world. Before they say their goodbyes, Rehab will be giving America one last taste of their music with a 49-city tour that will bring them to Soul Kitchen on Thursday, Feb. 27.
“Our fans have been so loyal throughout the years,” said Danny Boone and Demun Jones on the band’s website. “We are so excited to get back out there on the road and play the hits, as well as some of the new music that we have both been working on.”
After Rehab finishes this tour, Boone and Jones will continue on with individual solo projects. The Georgia group could not have picked a better time to say goodbye to their Azalea City fans, and this show should be one of the shining moments of the Mardi Gras season.
