Live by Satellite is the opening band for this annual event. Live by Satellite is fresh air to rock and roll. Their sound is a modern twist on classic rock, taking inspiration from the intensely catchy guitar riffs, pounding driven drums, and soaring vocals symbolic of artists such as Bon Jovi, Journey and Def Leppard. Mixing those elements with synthesizers and loops used in modern Pop, you get the Live By Satellite signature sound. Their lyrics are deeply personal and bravely honest, pulling the listener in with stories of falling in love and dealing with heartbreak. The result is a cross-generational timeless sound of engaging songs that make you want to come along for the ride that is Live by Satellite.
Band members Mike Collingsworth (singer), Chandler Mills (bass), Corey Lawson (guitar) and Troy Campbell (drums) grew up in north Alabama and became friends at school. After finishing college, the guys quit their day jobs and moved to Nashville, risking it all to devote their full attention to making music and the success of the band.
Through mutual friend and Day of Fire guitarist Joe Pangallo, Mike met producer Rogers Masson. Together, Rogers and the group spent two years writing, rehearsing, and recording, splitting studio time between Ronnie’s Place Studio and Warner Brothers Studios in Nashville. They approached the writing and recording process with respect for what came before, and an unwavering dedication to the forward momentum of Pop/Rock.
The lineup for other Friday Nights in the Park is: Men of Soul on June 24; The ConSoulers on July 1; and The Stagger Moon Band on July 8.
