Afromman's claim to fame was a little song called, "Because I Got High".
Don't Get it Twisted, this brother has been making great music for years, plays all his own instruments and puts on one of the greatest shows I have ever seen or been involved with.
I decided to take a chance and see if I could promote a few shows, give people in the Dirty South a chance to hear some great music and experience some even better times.
So, It's May 2004, and I just picked up Afro's latest CD at the time, "Afroholic...The Even Better Times", I am checking out the Tour Schedule and notice that they have to come thru I-20 in Georgia for a upcoming show, right thru the town I am living in. I grab two buddies and head to the Jacksonville show (4 hour drive in a 86' prelude with no a/c or power) at "Jack Rabbit's" to see if I can meet this Cat and convince him to play in my town. Sure enough, I got a chance to Hangout and enjoy some of the finer things in Life
. We worked out a little something and I headed up to Rock Hill, South Carolina, the next weekend, to meet Billy, Afro's Agent/tour Manager. We set it up and Afro's first show in Augusta , Georgia was June 21st at The Soul Bar. This show was sold the Fuck Out, at one point we had to turn people down. We got 20 cases of Colt 45 and every cracker in the house was guzzlin' one!
Pre-Party Pics at My Crib.....We were flowing for about an Hour, almost missed the show. Having Afroman in my Home spittin' lyrics was a Great experience and to think it all started with an idea....
"Hey it would be cool to have Afroman play at my favorite Bar!
