Kobanova to Open Ramshackle with High-Energy Southern Rock
Get ready to kick off Ramshackle with an electrifying performance by Kobanova, the dynamic alternative southern rock band hailing from Georgia. Combining elements of folk rock and alternative music, Kobanova has been captivating audiences with their eclectic sound and high-energy shows.
A Journey Rooted in Georgia
Formed by singer Jimmy Riemer, guitarist Wes Bacastow, and pianist Chris Dickson at the University of Georgia in Athens, Kobanova quickly made a name for themselves in the local music scene. Their unique blend of classical piano, blues guitar, and singer-songwriter sensibilities led to the release of their first single, Far From Home, in 2019. The band headlined their first show at the historic 40 Watt Club in February 2020, marking a significant milestone in their early career.
Evolution and Expansion
In 2022, Kobanova relocated to Atlanta, introducing drummer Ripken Walker and bassist Owen Eaton to their lineup. This evolution brought a fresh energy to their music, culminating in the release of their EP, For Better or Worse, accompanied by a sold-out show at Smith’s Olde Bar in April 2023. Their self-titled album, Kobanova, released later that year, showcases their growth and versatility as a band.
A Year of Momentum
The year 2024 has been pivotal for Kobanova. They delivered special live recordings at 800 East Studios, featuring guest performances that added new dimensions to their sound. Their participation in Atlanta’s renowned Oysterfest and performances alongside acts like Robert Jon and the Wreck have solidified their reputation as a must-see live act.
