This iconic Hydra reunion made for an incredible night of Atlanta Music from the days of shows that were filled with eclectic and unique acts. From the first Atlanta Pop Festival, to Piedmont Park, Hydra could be heard all over.

Selling out within 10 days, a packed house roared through all three acts, culminating in a memorable night filled with music, memories, and pure nostalgia.

Press Release:
Historic Hydra Reunion, “Hydra Rises Again” With Special Friends Glenn Phillips and Radar, at The Vista Room, Decatur, Georgia for Saturday, June 10, 2017

Larry Hurley and Loree Hunt announce the long-awaited reunion of Atlanta-based Hydra, featuring the original members onstage for the first time in over 30 years: Wayne Bruce (vocals and guitar), Spencer Kirkpatrick (guitar), Orville Davis (bass) and Steve Pace (drums). Synonymous with true American Southern hard rock, Hydra’s event will historically mark the first time in decades that the original line up has performed. “Hydra Rises Again” will feature Hydra and special friends, Glenn Phillips and Radar at The Vista Room in Decatur, Georgia on Saturday, June 10. The evening will be marked as an Alex Cooley tribute as well.

Wayne Bruce, lead singer and lead guitar quips, “After a long illness, an amputation and a very long recovery, I am looking forward to getting back on stage. It will be the first time the original four members are on stage since 1975—and, sharing the bill with old friends Glenn Phillips and Radar, what could be better? Can't wait!”

“Haber-Jam: Art & Music in the Park” was a memorable Northeast Georgia summer music festival spanning three days. Jam-packed with music, paintings, pottery, folk art, photography, and a full beer and & wine garden, this family fun event was one to remember.

The festival featured 16 musical performances spanning roughly 11 different genres. The first night of the festival was set aside for strictly for tribute acts, while the last night of the festival was reserved for local acts.
