Fester Hagood organizes what he calls "Fester Hagood's Mojo Confessional Songwriters Showcase." It builds on Mark Wilmot's "Mojo's Sunday Afternoon Songwriters' Revival" which brought two singer/songwriters to No. 3 Railroad Street each month. We look forward to hearing both new and familiar voices and stories about their songs under Fester's direction.

Jefferson is a painter as well. "My music portraits are all painted in various shades of blue. My thinking is, whether an artist is Caucasian, African-American, Native American or whatever...it's all about the blues...the integrity of the music...not skin color. I have a soft spot for Delta icons like Mississippi John Hurt, Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters and so on but I also love the blues that lives in Country and Folk and Gospel Music. Legends like Hank Williams, Bob Dylan, Sister Rosetta Tharpe and Johnny Cash show up in my art from time to time.

By age 24 after moving to Athens, hard work and talent turned him into one of the most sought-after professional musicians around, including as a studio player.
