The Florida Theatre is pleased to announce that Southern Rock Band and Jacksonville natives Molly Hatchet return to the Florida Theatre. Molly Hatchet firmly cemented their place in music history in the late seventies. They stood alongside other iconic Southern rock bands out of Jacksonville, Florida, such as Lynyrd Skynyrd and the Allman Brothers. A perfect mixture of English invasion rock, blues, country, and gospel remains the unique sound of Molly Hatchet.
They were the hardest hitting of the Southern rock bands at the time when, in
1978, Epic Records released Molly Hatchet’s self-titled debut album. It reached multi-platinum status, and the
band established their reputation of working hard, playing tough and living
fast through intense touring. During this time, they were on the road with
Aerosmith, Bob Seger, The Rolling Stones, and many others.
In 2021, Molly Hatchet continues their worldwide tour, performing classic hits
such as: “Flirtin’ with Disaster,” “Devil’s Canyon,” “Gator Country,”
“Whiskey Man,” and “Dreams I’ll Never See.”
The band’s current lineup consists of long-time members Bobby Ingram on lead
guitar and John Galvin on keyboards, as well as Tim Lindsey on bass guitar and
Shawn Beamer on drums, with Jimmy Elkins on vocals. Molly Hatchet continues to honor the legacies
of those members who passed away (including Danny Joe Brown, David Hlubek, and
Phil McCormack) by keeping the music alive, performing across the United
States, and throughout the world.
After forty plus years Molly Hatchet is still workin’ hard, playin’ tough,
livin’ fast, and Flirtin’ with Disaster!
