Rehab - Warner Robins, GA

Rehab frontman Danny Boone Alexander sits down with Peach Jam host Jeremy Powell to discuss his unlikely journey to triple platinum status. Danny explains how the band originally saw Sittin' at a Bar as a funny throwaway cut rather than a future signature song. 

After the group was dropped from the label, he went back home, only to get a call years later from a jukebox company trying to track him down about royalty checks.  

Danny then takes you inside what that success really looked like. The song went on to be re-recorded and found a lot of success on the radio. The band suddenly found themselves living on a tour bus, stringing together hundreds of shows a year and spending more time on interstates than at home. 

Through it all, he never got the sports car fantasy version of stardom, but he did get something more durable: a way to make a living through music for decades.

By the end of the conversation, you hear a different side of the band that many people only know through one barroom anthem. Danny talks about growing up in Warner Robins, taking drama in high school with legendary teacher Ray Horn, and discovering he could really sing when a classmate pushed him to perform a Christopher Cross song a cappella for a grade.

For him, the plan is simple: keep writing and recording as long as the ideas come, be grateful for the song that changed everything, and keep growing past the angry tone of early records like Southern Discomfort into something wiser and more grounded.
