Georgia Music Greets Visitors
Travelers stopping at Georgia’s Visitor Information Centers will now hear a stirring introduction to the state’s rich musical heritage.
Nine of the 11 state visitor centers, which are operated by the Georgia Department of Economic Development (GDEcD), are playing songs by Georgia musicians, from marquis names like Ray Charles and R.E.M. to lesser-known talents such as Sonia Leigh and Luke Bryan. “The Soundtrack of your Life,†a partnership between GDEcD and the Georgia Music Hall of Fame, was turned on at 10 a.m. on Aug. 15 at the Augusta, Columbus, Kingsland, Lavonia, Ringgold, Savannah, Tallapoosa, Valdosta and West Point centers.
Guests at the visitor centers will be greeted by signs showing some of Georgia’s most well-known musicians. The music and associated commentary will entertain and educate travelers, encouraging them to visit the Georgia Music Hall of Fame in Macon, which showcases more than 450 Georgia musicians including Little Richard, James Brown, Otis Redding, Trisha Yearwood, the B-52’s and the Allman Brothers. The Hall of Fame is currently producing a series of CDs similar to “The Soundtrack of Your Life†that will reflect the diversity of Georgia’s musical landscape. (http://www.exploregeorgia.org/)
