Gene Ingram is an incredibly talented singer and musician, from Northwest Georgia. Gene performs hits from all genres of music in his amazing One-Man Band. He also plays guitar for the Lynyrd Skynyrd Tribute Band - Saturday Night Special.
Gene was born in Rome, Georgia in 1971. In the summer of 1977, at age 6, he started learning guitar from his father. In 1981, at 10 years old, Gene began singing for the Rome Boys Choir. When he reached his early teens, he was playing in bands, and on any stage available.
In 1990, at 19 years old, Gene joined the United States Army. He had dabbled in harmonica, but wasn't very proficient at it. During a deployment, he took a harmonica to Saudi Arabia because he said a guitar wouldn't fit in his pack. Upon returning home, 8 months later, he had mastered the Country Blues Harmonica. His friends all swore he visited an Arabian Crossroads and sold his soul to the devil. Whether that is true, or a myth, will always be a mystery.
Gene has shared the stage with Gregg Allman, Michael Allman, Jackyl, Jani Lane, Leroy Parnell, Pam Tillis, Kenny Wayne Sheppard, R.L Burnside, Charlie Daniels, Ricky Lynn Greg, Artimus Pyle, Willie Heath Neal and the Damned Ole Opry, and The Waymores, just to name a few.
In addition, Gene has warmed the stage for Molly Hatchet, Little Texas, Alabama, Marshall Tucker, Merle Haggard, Leroy Parnell, Brooks & Dunn, 38 Special, The Outlaws, Wet Willie, Gregg Allman, Michael Allman, and Iron Butterfly, to name a few.

"The power of music is magical. It can turn bad days into good ones. It's therapy for me. It's also a vessel for me to reach others. If my music can give someone inner peace for a couple of hours, it's worth doing it. People have struggles. Life it's self is a struggle. I look for other fellow Veterans, that might need someone to talk to during my breaks. 22 Veterans commit suicide daily. One a day is too many." - Gene Ingram
