The Tavern Preachers are a North Alabama country rock band that started playing together in January of 2022. The band took life as a 4 piece called Eat The Mule, gigging for 6 months around the Huntsville Alabama area before trimming down to a 3 piece and changing the name to The Tavern Preachers. After a few months with this lineup, the guys added another lead guitar player and moved back into a 4 piece band. With Ian Pierce on drums, Lee Cunningham on bass, Brett Allen on lead guitar and Justin Kelley on guitar and lead vocals, the band plays a mix of country, southern rock, soul and blues.
