Fester Hagood's Mojo Confessional Songwriters Showcase Pickled Holler and Julie Gribble Potluck and Music starting at 6 pm Sunday, January 14, 2024

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. Please read about Fester on the bottom of this page and about both series of concerts on the Songwriters landing page. Fester brings, for the second time, the duo Pickled Holler to No. 3 Railroad Street this January, and for the first time, Julie Gribble. They will play after a potluck at 6 pm in which audience members bring food to share. The event will be indoors. Pickled Holler joined with Caroline Monroe, Woody Garrison and the Redstone Ramblers in a Songwriters Showcase in July 10, 2022 and they are finally back for more! With substantial difficulty in their discovery, I hope the following is at least close to the facts: Pickled Holler is described as a Family Band, with Jessica Williams Bass/Vocals/Flute and Mathew Williams Guitars/Vocals. They have been joined by lots of others (see below), recently by Trey Young, Mandolin, and Jacob Bell, Percussion. [The following is from their website ...] Pickled Holler is the story of a man, and a woman, and sometimes some other people, but don't worry this isn't a dirty story. Unless you count all of the dirty picks, muddy traveling shoes, and rustic tales from dusty eras both old and new. [Fester describes them as a Bluegrass Americana Duo.] Matthew and J. Williams and their friends have been singing these songs from the Pickled Holler, rumored to lie somewhere between Carrollton, Americus, and Athens, (but that depends on who you ask) for many years, and expect to continue just as long as there are people who like to smile, dance and listen to great songs. Matt and J have been blessed to join so many musical heros on the live stage throughout the years including Wynonna Judd, Mike Mills, Kevn Kinney, Jim Lauderdale, Jeff Mosier, David Blackmon, Leftover Salmon, Jason Carter, Larry and Jenny Keel, Jimmy Herring, Oteil Burbridge and countless more. Each Pickled Holler show is played with humble yet fierce intention and provides a unique listening experience. Pickled Holler on the web: pickledholler.com. facebook.com/pickledholler Julie Gribble With her mellow, alternative rock and a twist of Americana country style, Julie has entranced audiences with her modern stories of life, love and relationships. Audiences connect immediately to the unique lyrics. They're not the same old love cliches. Julie Gribble on the web: juliegribble.com facebook.com/JGribbleMusic/ 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 from 2013 onwards which was the inpsiration for Mark's Songwriters Revival. Fester is one of the pillars of original music in the Athens Area and an especially good citizen.
