Stillwater was an American band of the 1970s, which played Southern rock with a folk flair. Their song Mindbender charted in the top 100 singles in 1978. The band existed from 1973 to 1982 and was based in Warner Robins, Georgia. They released two albums on Capricorn Records, Stillwater (1977), which included the single "Mind Bender", and I Reserve The Right! (1979). They opened for such bands as the Atlanta Rhythm Section and the Charlie Daniels Band. They broke up shortly after the loss of Capricorn Records. They reformed with drummer David Heck and released the album Running Free in (1997).
After the band broke up, Rob Walker enlisted in the Air Force Band of New England, Pease Air Force Base, New Hampshire. He is still in service, currently stationed in Active Duty with the Band of the US Air Force Reserve at Robins Air Force Base. He has performed with many great musicians as a result, including pianist Kevin Joseph Barnett (Kevin J. Barnett).
Mike Causey can still be seen playing around Warner Robins. Al Scarborough plays bass with a band called The Wall in Warner Robins and Macon Ga. Rob Walker occasionally drops in to play with The Wall too. David Heck currently lives and performs in Denver, CO. Bob Spearman, who also played with The Wall, died of cancer. Mike Causey, Sebie Lacey Tony Cooper and Eddie Store can be heard on Phil Palma's recently released Christian cd "Warrior"

[edit] Stillwater in pop culture
Stillwater is not the same fictitious Stillwater band portrayed in the 2000 film Almost Famous. Although, Cameron Crowe, the film's director, was able to get permission to use the name 'Stillwater' after screening the film for the band. The songs played by the fictitious Stillwater were original songs written for the film by Nancy Wilson, Cameron Crowe, and Peter Frampton.
