Mother’s Finest at the Newberry Opera House

Newberry is home to the historic Newberry Opera House, where performers from all over the world take center stage in Lake Murray Country!

Mothers Finest is led by talented vocalists, Glenn “Doc” Murdock and Joyce “Baby Jean” Kennedy. The group is anchored by the tight, crunchy rhythm section of Gary “Moses Mo” Moore. John “Red Devil” Hayes plays guitar and Jerry “Wyzard” Seay plays bass. These veterans of the music industry and Georgia Music Hall of Fame inductees continue to tour, delighting long-time fans and drawing many new ones into the fold. Mothers Finest has been crushing the groove for 50 years, and they haven’t lost any of their signature energy and passion.

From the rollicking mashup “Mickey’s Monkey” and the soulful “Thank You For The Love” on their iconic album “Another Mother Further,” to the bone-jarring funk-metal of “Black Radio Won’t Play This Record,” the band has never rested on their laurels, and has consistently refined and grown their sound while remaining true to their funk-rock roots.

They are a live band without peer, and many well-known artists have regretted having to follow Mothers Finest as an opening act.
