Sunday Songwriters' Revival
Every Third Sunday of the month, Host "Mojo" Mark Wilmot hosts local songwriters who showcase original songs and the stories that inspired them. Mark is an Athens native who grew up singing the songs his Granny taught him on their rides through the hills of Northeast Georgia. He sings his own songs in the Athens area with the Redstone Ramblers, including many times at No. 3 Railroad Street. Please see the Events Page for details and the Photo Pages for images of their events. Mark is eager to help promote local songwriters through this monthly event.
This month, Tracey "Fester" Hagood and Jefferson Ross are featured.
Tracey "Fester" Hagood has been a staple of the Classic City's music scene for over a decade. Hagood began writing music at the age of 16 and has been performing as a solo act in the Athens bar scene since early 2000. In 2015, Fester produced the Redstone Ramblers CD, "Graveyard Gospel." He hosted The Tuesday Night Confessional at The NoWhere Bar in Athens which is the inspiration for the Songwriters Revival. He is one of the pillars of original music in the Athens Area.
