The Georgia Thunderbolts are an American rock band from
Rome, Georgia. Formed in 2015, the band released their debut album Can We Get a Witness through

History
The band began with high school classmates Couzzourt and Perry before growing to include Everett.[1] The group then began touring by opening up for artists such as
Black Stone Cherry,
The Kentucky Headhunters, and
Blackberry Smoke.[1] They're managed by Richard Young of the Headhunters.[2] After a performance caught the attention of Mascot Label Group's North American President Ron Burman, the group was immediately signed to the label.[2] The group released their self-titled debut EP in 2020, which was covered by
Rolling Stone Magazine and
Classic Rock Magazine.[1][3] Shortly thereafter, the band's performance at
Americanafest was chosen by Wide Open Country as one of the best moments of the festival.[4]
Their debut album Can We Get A Witness was released on October 15, 2021, through
Mascot Records.
No Depression wrote favorably about the project, calling it "a good one from some up-and-coming good ol' boys looking for a sweet home of their own."[5] The single "Be Good To Yourself" was selected by both
Rolling Stone Magazine and
Classic Rock Magazine as one of the best songs of the week.[6][7] To support the album, they opened for
Black Stone Cherry on their fall US tour,[8] and also performed a session for
Paste Magazine.[9]
