The Original Screw Tops

The band has been part of the local musical scene since 2012. They have performed in various venues in and around Athens (places like Hendershots, The Office Lounge, and The Foundry to name a few). They do a combination of original tunes and classics of the blues.

The band's lineup is:
John Norris - Drums and Harmonica
Jeff Evans - Bass
Marcelo Buril - Guitar and Vocals

and new to the band,
Bill Oglesby - Saxophone

We welcomed The Original Screw Tops for their first visit to No. 3 Railroad Street on February 9, 2019. The band was excellent! Glenn said it was his kind of music and very well played. A good-size house and a very appreciative audience, with slapping the tables, shouting, dancing and more (some photos of that event are below). They returned on August 24, 2019 and February 29, 2020 to very large crowds.

All three of the long-time members of The Original Screw Tops were also part of Janet and the Blue Dogs, along with Janet and Dennis Smillie. The Blue Dogs played five public concerts and several private affairs at No. 3 Railroad Street. The drummer of the Original Screw Tops, John Norris, continues as part of the newly-formed Janet and the New Dogs, which recently played No. 3 Railroad Street on March 25, 2023.

Visit the Facebook Page of The Original Screw Tops for more photos of them at No. 3 Railroad Street and elsewhere. They are fresh from playing at the Blues Brews & BBQ Festival at the Southern Brewing Company on April 15, 2023 and I bet they will be red hot this afternoon.
