Bio:
Drive about an hour northwest of Atlanta, and you’ll run into a tiny little community of 10,000 near the center of Polk County, Georgia. Welcome to Cedartown, a simple Southern hometown known for its low crime rate, high humidity and as the birthplace for the Peacock of the Fairways, retired golfer Doug Sanders. But come Summer 2007, Cedartown’s reputation can boast another claim to fame as local band High Flight Society releases its self-titled national debut, an anthemic modern rock creation.

The four young men who comprise High Flight Society grew up together in Cedartown, forming their band after years of leading worship music in their home churches. Scotty Lockridge has been playing the drums at Cedartown Church of God since he was 6 years old, and his good friend Michael Packer picked up the guitar so that he and Scotty could play together in their high school talent show. Wanting to follow in the steps of his big brother, John Packer decided to learn to play bass, and before long the three were writing and playing together in their church’s praise band. When Michael decided that he no longer wanted to be the front man for the group, they set out to find a lead singer and landed on a rather unusual choice, especially given that High Flight was heading down a modern rock path.
