It has been an excellent year so far for JD Boatwright! I have played shows all over SC and have enjoyed being in some showcases for Songwriters. I have also started gigging with my five piece band “JD and the Marchers” as we are tentatively titled. We have Donald Pearson on saxophone, Griffin Edwards on lead guitar, Scott Higdon on Bass, Russ Smith/Casey Dianne sharing the drums and JD Boatwright on vocals/ rhythm guitar/harmonica. We play Southern Soul mixed with Southern Rock and I call it Palmetto Music. We play some of my originals alongside Tom Petty, Grateful Dead, JJ Grey, Otis Redding, Willie Nelson and more. I hope to see you at one of our shows in the near future. We are playing at Pork in the Park on April 17th, 2026 in Newberry, SC from 5:30 to 8PM and then playing at the SC Poultry Festival in Batesburg, SC on May 9th from 11:30 AM to 12:30 PM.
