Fester Hagood continues Mark Wilmot's "Mojo's Sunday Afternoon Songwriters' Revival" which brought two singer/songwriters to No. 3 Railroad Street in each of twenty-two consecutive months. This is fitting in other ways, but especially because Mark's series was inspired by Fester's earlier own series of events, Fester Hagood's Tues Night Confessors.
Fester will do something similar, and we look forward to hearing both new and familiar voices and stories about their songs. He is also bringing Pot Luck back to No. 3 Railroad Street.
The first in the series was Sunday, May 8, 2022. The Redstone Ramblers returned after a long absence, having played nine times here with Mark Wilmot. Also featured was Ty Manning and Fester. There was also a Mothers Day picnic and a tribute to Mark Wilmot. A great start to what will certainly be an outstanding series.
Come on out every month and give Fester your support and have a great time doing so!
Here are the links to the events, hopefully kept up to date!

Fester Hagood was one of the songwriters invited by Mark Wilmot for the songwriters series. He played and talked on Sunday afternoons May 20 2018 with Jefferson Ross, August 18 2018 with Levi Lowrey and June 16 2019 with Varney Watson. The last one had great music and commentary, of course, but probably enhanced by the contents of the Mason jar that Mark sometimes brought for both the audience and the performers.
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 inspiration for Mark's Songwriters Revival. Fester is one of the pillars of original music in the Athens Area and an especially good citizen.
