MORE ABOUT LAUREN
The Band Hero from Decatur,
GA is a close knit group of
brothers who are taking the
industry by storm. Hero started
singing in their church, even
before they started kinder-
garten.
Nick, with Hero said, " We've
been around music all our lives
and we want to do it the rest of
our lives."
Because we produce our own
music and write our own lyrics,
it allows us to express our own
emotions and share ourselves
with the world, says Jerramy.
Influenced by Queen, The
Beatles, Elton John, Michael
Jackson, Coldplay and others,
Hero is a mixture of different
genres of music.
Learn more about this Georgia
music talent.
Hero (the band)
With a sound that's reminiscent
of good ole' Southern Rock
music, with tinges of the Marshall
Tucker Band from the 70's,
Blackberry Smoke, from Georgia,
gets The Georgia Music
Channel's "Band on the move"
kudos. With elements of rock,
country, bluegrass and gospel, it's
no wonder and it's all good.
They've already released three
full length albums, the latest
"Whippoorwill" on Zac Brown's
label, Southern Ground Records.
It's like Charlie Starr, singer
and guitartist said, "For all the
planning ahead, we still had to get
it (the album) done in four and-
a-half-days. So, it's not like we
had time to stretch out and find
the most comfortable chair in the
studio." These guys have been
busy and you can count on it -
"business is fixing to pick up".

Two Songwriters From Georgia With
Hits By Garth Brooks
Pat Alger And Tony Arata, from LaGrange and Savannah,

Music Channel
about Georgia music artists and those having a connection
to Georgia. We cover a wide spectrum of genres - Country
music, Rock music, Pop music, R & B / Soul Music and so
many other genres. We've begun also listing non-perform-
ing artists to the Georgia Music Artists page- like producers,
managers, etc. and have opened a page for up-and-coming
musicians. We are constantly adding artists that have made
a contribution to GA music to the Georgia Music Artists
page. The list will never be complete, as we're fortunate
to have an abundance of music artists from Georgia. Feel
free to make recommendations for artists you'd like to
see listed by contacting us @ The Georgia Music Channel.
Remember, we include music artists that have a connection
to Georgia. For example, you may see a video or hear a
song by an artist like Elvis, who apparently never lived in
Georgia. However in this case, if the video or song is "In
The Ghetto" or "Don't Cry Daddy", these are relevant
because Mac Davis (a Georgia music artist) wrote those
songs. Therefore, it's Mac Davis and his work that we're
recognizing. This is an example of the depth of the work
by music artists from Georgia and how we honor and
