    <title>South First Band</title>
    <description>It isn’t too often you find a band who has a fan base that spans an entire state, that has opened up for stars like Cross Canadian Ragweed, Pat Green and The Eli Young Band among others, and whose songs are stuck in your head all before their first record has even been released. But that is the case with South First Band. The foursome of Jeff Havard on lead vocals and rhythm guitar, Warren Smyrl on lead guitar, Pat Overstreet on drums and Stephen Adams on bass and all four on harmonies are from Lufkin, Texas and have just released their debut album, a year and a half after first beginning to wow fans and fellow musicians with their musical style, vocals and songwriting. South First Band first came together for the Colgate Country Showdown where they won both their local and state level. From there, the band has grown from a local go-to country opening band to a well-known group that boasts a rocking sound with a country influence, exceptional 3-and 4-part harmonies and an impressive song lineup. South First Band agrees their vocals, on top of “kick ass music,” set them apart from any other band in the scene. Their harmony acts as a fifth member to the band, adding something that only the four of them together could create. South First Band’s debut album, Like The Movies, has brought the band and their music into focus. But, Like The Movies wasn’t always the band’s debut album. They had recorded a self-produced album that they decided to scrap, in favor of a grammy-nominated Mack Damon produced album. Though the band wasn’t happy about shelving their original album, they loved the result. Like The Movies brought out South First Band’s sound and honed in on the intricacies that make them who they are. The album’s lead-off single, Wake Up Wanting Me, written by Pat Overstreet, is a catchy tune that gets stuck in your head. It is a positive, back-in-your-face love song that reminds you that love comes and goes. With the band’s upcoming touring stint, it’s likely “Wake Up Wanting Me” will be a fan favorite. With all four members writing on Like The Movies, songs like “Something Real,” “Backroads” and the title track give listeners a taste of love, friendship, loyalty and good times as well as the writing ability of the foursome. A very guitar-driven, fun sound blends perfectly with South First Band’s songwriting, offering listeners an original sound in Texas Country and the Red Dirt Music scene that can’t be ignored. As they keep on doing what they do, South First Band will undoubtedly continue to wow fans and fellow musicians in their scene. They are excited about releasing an album for friends and fans that have followed them this far. For them, it’s about making music that is true not only to them, but to everyone who listens to it.</description>

      <title>Update</title>
      <description>Hey I know it's been a few months since we have updated everyone on what is going on with us.. So here goes... First of all thanks so much to all of you  who have been coming out to our shows.  We have met some really cool people the last few months, so thanks so much for coming up and saying hi.  If you haven't had a chance to catch a show lately, you have missed out on some really great ones.  For instance in may we played with Pat Green at Floores Country Store in Helotes. It was a great show,  we met alot of new friends , so thanks to all of you who came up and said hi and bought a cd.  This past weekend we drove all over texas.  We went from Lufkin to Corpus on Thursday and did a show with Wade at Brewster Street.  It was really hot but a great show. Then from there we went to Terrell to play with John Conlee,that's right John Conlee, at the Silver Spur.  Then from Terrell we went to Del Rio for the Taste of Del Rio Festival. There was alot of really good food there so thanks for letting us eat it all..Haha.. Then sunday we headed back home.  So we pretty much made a star across Texas this past week.  It was alot of driving but it was all well worth it.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now on to new things.. We are currently writing our next album.  You have probably heard a couple of new songs lately if you have seen us play.  We are throwing a few in here and there,  so please let us know what you think of our new stuff.  Hopefully we will start on it early fall and release it the first of the year. Drew Womack is going to produce it and we are really pumped about that.  He is an amazing songwriter, singer, producer so we cant wait to work with him. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Again thanks so much for supporting our music. If we haven't seen you in a while , make it out to a show soon.  Please keep spreading the word.  See you guys down the road.   And as always , thanks for supporting live music... Jeff</description>
