I tried to see if this existed elsewhere but I didn't find anything.

North Mississippi All Stars
Particle
Karl Denson
Outformation (Sam Holt...tech from Widespread Panic)
Trainwreck (Kyle Glass from Tenacious D)
Moonshine Still

Taylor Hicks played with us last year right before he won American Idol.

Also played on the same stage 4 acts before Snoop Dogg. Crazy! Flyleaf and Yellowcard.....

There might be a few more....hmmm....
