Enjoy the Georgia Players Guild’s performance of “Sounds of Georgia,” a music revue of the history of Georgia at the Strand Theatre on May 12.

Georgia’s musical history is one that stands as one of the greatest in the United States and is as rich as its widely-known dark-colored soil. The impact on Gospel, R&B, Soul, Jam Bands, Classic Rock, and more stands as a true testament to the importance of this region of the country.  

In one night of music, experience the best Macon-based soul artists such as Little Richard, Ray Charles, James Brown, and Otis Redding.  Take a ride on the Chattahoochee by enjoying hits from Alan Jackson, Travis Tritt, and the Zach Brown Band.   Get lost in the powerful musical moments of the Allman Brothers and Atlanta Rhythm Section.  Feel the angst of the 80s from Athens with bands like R.E.M and the B-52s.   From the influential unsung heroes that played a Stratocaster upside down and left-handed (Johnny Jenkins, who was Jimi Hendrix’s main influence) to the reformed rhythms that became the Black Crowes, don’t miss a show that really brings the musical history together in a vibrant performance……much like the vibrant red clay Georgia is best known for. 

Members of the “Sounds of Georgia”  have individually appeared on network TV shows like America’s Got Talent and onstage with musical giants like Derek Trucks, Oteil Burbridge, Ed Roland (Collective Soul), and even gospel/music theatre legends like Kim Burrell and Jennifer Holiday.
