Alan Fox SXSW's 1995 lead guitar and vocals, graduated with honors from Carthage High School, this earned him a scholarship to Stephen F. Austin State University as a music major, were he learned even more about music, theory, and the preparing of "Jungle Juice”. Alan says, “If there’s an ice chest of Jungle Juice, there will be an audience to play for.” At SFA he made many friends, and some turned out to be famous like, Stevie Ray Vaughn, that used to come to Nacogdoches from Austin, and Alan would open for him at the Cross Road Club. He also met song writer Michael Garvin who wrote, “Oh Me-Oh My Sweet Baby” for Diamond Rio, from Bossier City, LA. He moved to Bossier with Mike and performed with him. He ran into another famous person, Jon Troy, who used to be Billy Joel’s manager, you know “Now Jon at the bar he’s a friend of mine” He was owner/operator of a club called “The Med-Corp” in Shreveport, LA. and wanted to put a band together for one of the locals there, a Ms. Mickey Honeycutt.
