Absolute Zero – Southern Alt Rock Heroes – Retro Concert Series Part 1

The Absolute Zero southern alt rock trio was invited to perform their second music festival (in fact their first show with a decent sound system provided.) This would have been circa 1990 in the Stanly County Armory in Albemarle, North Carolina. Brent Bowers on Guitar, Todd Britt on Bass and Jerry ‘Bush’ Waldrip on drums created the classic example of a band going from the basement to the stage to play for their peers in a small town. In a twist of fate AZ was setup as the opener because we were the newest band and had the least followers. As fate would have it we had a great crowd for our set which quickly dwindled as the other bands performed. The event was called, “The Jelly Jam #1.” Absolute Zero was ultimately invited back and did another 1 hour set at the second Jelly Jam a few years later.
