Jackson Gorbutt: Drummer for Katie O and Founding member of Georgia County group South of Athens

About Me:

I was born and raised in Brunswick, GA, a scenic coastal town in Georgia. My musical path began at a young age, playing in church as many musicians did, and building music acumen. My parents reminisce about my early days, remembering me banging on pots and pans and waking them up at 7 AM playing away, despite no family members having musical inclinations; I was bitten by the bug! The funniest thing my dad always said was, “I can barely use the radio.” My musical influences spanned a wide range of genres, including country, rock, blues, and Christian music.

I established roots in country music, but at the same time, I was a working drummer, playing everything from George Strait, Joe Diffie, Charlie Daniel’s, Tanya Tucker, The Judds, Travis Tritt, The Eagles, Pink Floyd, and Journey. That’s just a fraction of the notable ones that have brought me to where I am today.

Currently: I’m playing with Georgia Top 40 country band South of Athens along with Kaitie O (Formerly Of The Voice). I have had the amazing privilege of touring, preforming or recording with artists such as: Will Moseley (American Idol), Jackson Bethune, Adam Crabb (The Gathiers), Johnny White and more!
