Georgia Music Scene
“That’s the night that the lights went out in Georgia”, sang Reba McEntire. This song lyric paints a perfect picture of Georgian music. The state encompasses two of the most lights out music cities in the nation: Atlanta and Athens.
One of Atlanta’s earliest and best imports was Elton John, who chose Atlanta as a home in the United States. A couple of decades later alternative groups like REM, Collective Soul, the Black Crowes, and Indigo Girls were busting out of Atlanta. The flow of talent did not stop there though. Over the past decade Atlanta has become the premier rap and hip-hop epicenter of the south. Ludacris and Outkast, two time-tested rap golden boys repeatedly make reference to “Hotlanta” or “The A” in their music
Recently T.I., Bow Wow, and Lil Jon have further validated Georgia’s status as the hip-hop capital of the south, or possibly the world.
Athens was successful in more eclectic genres such as new wave and indie, spawning groups like the B52’s. These strange rockers were able to capitalize on the large college radio scene in Athens with the University of Georgia looming nearby. The college station WUOG has always played a big part in the success of bands in Athens. Classical music is also sponsored by WUOG and the university which makes Georgia’s school of music an attractive option for those interested in performing the fine arts.
The Savannah Music Festival shows that Athens’ classical music reach extends far beyond the city borders. This gathering of artists is unique because it features diverse performance, but also has an instructional slant. Patrons can watch an instructional seminar with a professor of jazz at the University of Georgia and Derek Trucks, then an hour later watch the Derek Trucks Band perform.
