NANTUCKET

Nantucket is a hard rock band which formed in Jacksonville, North Carolina in 1969. Originally known as beach music band Stax of Gold and later Nantucket Sleighride (after the song by Mountain), the six member group of Tommy Redd, Larry Uzzell, Mike Uzzell, Eddie Blair, Kenny Soule and Mark Downing became a huge draw in their home state of North Carolina as a cover band. Nantucket eventually became a powerful and tenacious sensation, amassing numerous fans across the southeastern United States well before their first release. The band signed with Epic Records in 1977 and released their self titled album the following year, featuring the hit single "Heartbreaker." An aggressive tour across the country followed, opening for top acts such as KISS, Styx, Boston, Mother's Finest and Journey. The band toured with AC/DC for an entire summer. To satisfy the demand by many avid fans, the first three studio albums were released on compact disc by re-issue label Wounded Bird Records in 2003 and 2004. Nantucket V was made available on CD through re-issue label Retrospect Records in 2007.
