Sawyer Brown has produced 23 albums with more than 50 chart singles and loads of CMA, ACM and CMT awards on the shelf. To pull a line from one of the band’s enduring hits: “This is the life and times of a travelin’ band,” Sawyer Brown is a traveling band, indeed.
Always on the move—on the road, on stage and in their career. When asked about what keeps him motivated on the road, lead singer Mark Miller says, “It’s playing the next show. Be grateful for where you’ve been and be excited about where you’re going.”Sawyer Brown is Mark Miller, keyboardist Gregg “Hobie” Hubbard, lead guitarist Shayne Hill, and drummer Joe Smyth.
Mark and his band mates have been singing hits like “Step That Step,” “Shakin’,” “Betty’s Bein’ Bad,” “The Race is On,” and the band’s second No. 1 hit “Some Girls Do” with unmatched energy and excitement since they first stepped foot on stage in the early 80s. Mark says, “We knew that we wanted to play music and we knew that we wanted to work at being the best live band there was—and the only way to do that was to get out and play shows. And so we did.”

Prints from Lendon Noe’s “In This Moment: An Interpretation of 200 Years of Jackson Madison County History” Bicentennial art gallery will be available for purchase for a limited time on Thursday, June 13 at City Hall from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.
More than a dozen pieces from the gallery have been hand-selected by artist Lendon Noe for reproduction. Unframed prints will range from $25 – $30. A preview of the high-quality prints that will be available for purchase can be found on the Jackson Madison County Bicentennial Facebook page.
The “In This Moment” art gallery was unveiled on the second floor of City Hall on Monday, October 2, 2023. It embodies the remarkable spirit of the people of Jackson and Madison County throughout two hundred years of history, culture and community. Noe drew inspiration from the Bicentennial Milestones book, to craft 37 canvases and mixed media exhibits that pay homage to the multifaceted history of Jackson and Madison County. Pieces within the gallery reflect dozens of themes that have shaped Jackson’s identity over the past two centuries including healthcare, education, arts, entertainment, religion, medicine and more.
Lendon’s gallery is one of many legacy projects coordinated by the Bicentennial commission to commemorate our past and inspire future generations. Additional Bicentennial legacy projects include the Milestones history book, a commissioned art gallery at Madison County Courthouse by Caleb O’Connor, a time capsule, Bicentennial Park and an archive book. These projects are made possible by our Legacy sponsors – City of Jackson, Madison County, Jackson Energy Authority and West Tennessee Healthcare.
