Dan Baird and Homemade Sin at Hill Country Barbecue Market

Dan Baird was born and raised in San Diego, California, and in his early teens moved to Atlanta, Georgia. There, in 1980, he formed the Georgia Satellites, in which he sang, played rhythm guitar and possibly pioneered cowpunk and alt-country music by combining elements of rock music, country music, outlaw country, and punk rock. Baird left the band in 1990 to pursue a solo career and released his first solo album in 1992. In 2005, Baird began touring with his band Homemade Sin, which currently features guitarist Warner E. Hodges of Jason & the Scorchers, bassist Micke Nilsson, and drummer Mauro Magellan, formerly of the Georgia Satellites. Dan Baird and Homemade Sin's fifth and most recent studio album, Rollercoaster, was released on March 24, 2017.

Dan Baird and Homemade Sin returned to Hill Country Barbecue Market tonight and performed a two-hour set that included six fan favorites from Baird's Georgia Satellites days in addition to his later work. The common thread was that all the songs were unabashed, blistering rock and roll party tunes. The sizzling hot stompers often sported a thick southern boogie and sometimes featured country-styled vocal harmonies, but they remained lean on emotions or anything else that would diminish a foot-stomping response. The passions instead were felt mostly in the loud, wailing guitars, which occasionally swallowed Baird's gritty vocals and wry lyrics. In the end, Dan Baird and Homemade Sin blazed a flaming trail of rock and roll that was as authentic as it was timeless.
