In its third year, the Rock N Roll Marathon hits its stride in Savannah by booking a “headlining” band that people might have actually heard of.

Performing Nov. 9 in Forsyth Park, after the run wraps, will be the 1980s and ’90s hard rock/metal band Jackyl.

Jackyl is best known for the song “The Lumberjack,” which features a chainsaw solo. Onstage, the song generally ends with singer Jesse James Dupree dismantling a wooden stool with this “instrument.”
