Southern Rock Powerhouse • Legendary Lineage • Real Music, Real Legacy

Once An Outlaw is a Southern rock legacy band forged by musicians who didn’t just grow up on the genre — they helped build it. Featuring former members of The Outlaws, The Marshall Tucker Band, and the legendary Allman Brothers tribute The Peacheaters, Once An Outlaw delivers the authentic sound, fire, and spirit of classic Southern rock with the power and professionalism today’s audiences expect.

At the core of the band are Chris Anderson (The Outlaws), Chris “Hitman” Hicks (The Outlaws, Marshall Tucker Band), and Chuck Farrell, whose vision brought together an all-star lineup of road-tested Southern rock veterans. Anchored by the commanding lead vocals of John Bennett of The Peacheaters, the band blends iconic guitar harmonies, blues-soaked vocals, and deep-pocket grooves into a live show that feels both timeless and urgent.

This is not a tribute act — it’s a continuation of the lineage. Once An Outlaw pulls directly from the catalogs and musical bloodlines of the bands that defined American Southern rock, delivering performances that resonate with longtime fans while electrifying new audiences. Their shows are packed with recognizable classics, deep cuts, and powerful performances that honor the past while hitting with modern intensity.

Backed by a rhythm section stacked with elite experience — including Tim Archibald, whose career spans Michael McDonald, Peter Wolf, RTZ, Ernie and the Automatics, and Deep Purple tours; A.J. Vallee, known for his work with One Night of Queen, Southern Rock All-Stars, James Montgomery, and Jon Butcher; and Thaddeus “Thad” Lavelle, a longtime New England percussion standout — Once An Outlaw delivers a tight, dynamic, and crowd-moving performance every night.

Whether headlining festivals, theaters, or premier clubs, Once An Outlaw brings heritage, horsepower, and heart to the stage — the kind of show that sells tickets, keeps fans engaged, and leaves venues wanting them back.
