On May 20th, 2007 Our band participated in a battle of the bands at Killer Creek Harley Davidson in Roswell and we were voted as the "Best Party Band". We were also the Grand Champions! We were very proud and would like to thank everyone that has supported us along the way.

Chuck Hewatt is in his early 40’s and was born and raised in Marietta, Ga. Chuck has been involved in the music business since the age of 22. His first band was called “Whiplash”. He then went on to “Attickus Finch”. Afterwards Chuck played regularly at local venues.  In 1992 Chuck hooked up with friend Peter Heintz and formed what is now “Blind Justice”. They have been playing together ever since and they are still going strong after 14 years.  Chucks earliest musical influences were artists such as Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly and Credence Clearwater. Chuck has incorporated some of the above sounds, some of the new sounds and has combined it into a band that accents southern rock, blues and a little country. His personal tastes are diverse and he has decided to reflect this into the band by adding a few other areas of musical styles such as, contemporary country, mid 80's and early 90's to the mix. His strongest love is southern rock and is interested in adding fore of these styles to the list because he feels, as being from original southern heritage this type of music is important. He feels "true southern" rock is a dying art as more influences come from all other areas of this country and other countries. Not that he is against this musical movement, in fact he loves the contributions they have made and he borrows from them. He is just very true to his roots. Chuck still resides in his home town of Marietta, home of the "Big Chicken" and looks forward to another great year of rock and roll.

Greg Tatum, I play lead guitar with the Blind Justice band. I've been with them nearly 10 years now. I started playing guitar when I was 12, and at 13 was playing Moose Lodges, clubs and bars by age 14. You could say that after a couple of thousand shows, I've been around the block a few times.
My main influences are: The Beatles, Elvis Presley, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Black Sabbath, and Ozzy Osbourne (as a solo artist since leaving Black Sabbath). My guitar heroes are Ace Frehley of KISS, Randy Rhoads (of Quiet Riot and Ozzy Osbourne fame), and my biggest influence of all is Stevie Ray Vaughan.
I still play the guitar behind my back, play it with my teeth, and occasionally (if I am in the mood) I'll torch it up.
Now here's something that is really different......I AM CLEAN!!! I kicked a 14 year substance abuse addiction! I still have A drink occasionally, but that's it! Otherwise, I lead a life of sobriety!
I LOVE MY LIFE NOW! I recently moved to Ball Ground, Georgia and found peace in my life, and best of all, I have an honest, beautiful woman that loves me regardless of whether or not I'm playing guitar.
And because of all these beautiful things, I am playing better than I ever have!
So, please come out and see me and the band.
Peter Edward Heintz is the "Yankee" in the group and comes from the Tri-State area. As a member of the Cavaliers, Mello-Kings and the Minks, Pete now lays down the "bottom-end" for the Blind Justice Band and rounds out the three part harmony the band so proudly displays. Pete how now resides in Marietta, Georgia still loves to play the oldies, classics and the blues just to name a few. He still plays folk gigs from time to time. Bottoms-Up!!!
Dave Sams - Dave was a member of Blind Justice from 2002-2004, and has rocked the music scene with bands like One Shot, Smooth Lime Groove, GRIP and Hoosier Daddy in recent years. Now he is back with Blind Justice. His rock solid drumming and powerhouse vocals gives the group a steady foundation. As Dave once said "Who says you can't go home again?"
