The Mad Hatters are seasoned Atlanta pro’s who’ve made it a mission to replicate the Heartbreakers “NEW” Rock and Roll sound and vibe.. Band members include Vegas Dave Turner…Vocals/Guitar, Fred McNeal… Guitar/Vocals, Wayne Vokovich… Bass/Vocals, Todd Johnston…Drums/Vocals and Asher McKinney…Keys/Vocals.
