Georgia On My Mind Concert At 3rd & Lindsley

The Peach Pickers (L-R):?Ben Hayslip, Dallas Davidson and Rhett Akins

The Peach Pickers and Friends will host “Georgia On My Mind: A Night of Georgia Music” at Nashville’s 3rd and Lindsley on May 20, presented by Jameson® Irish Whiskey. Hit songwriters and Georgia natives Dallas Davidson, Rhett Akins and Ben Hayslip, who write collectively as the Peach Pickers, are recruiting Nashville pals originally from Georgia to join them to perform songs written or made famous by those from their home state. Admission is $25 and proceeds benefit the Georgia Music Foundation, a non-profit organization chaired by Davidson.

Among the numerous artists and songwriters from Georgia are Brenda Lee, Bill Anderson, Alan Jackson, Trisha Yearwood, Tony Arata, Pat Alger, Hillary Lindsey, Jason Aldean, Luke Bryan, FGL’s Tyler Hubbard, Lady A’s Dave Haywood and Charles Kelley, Billy Currington, Brantley Gilbert, Kip Moore, Cole Swindell, Sugarland and Zac Brown Band.

“It’s crazy how many musicians and songwriters on the charts are from Georgia and how many homegrown influences we have in common from Otis Redding and the Allman Brothers Band to Ray Charles and Gram Parsons,” Davidson said. “It’s really grounding to have a shared sense of identity around our state, the Flint River, Tybee Island, the pecan trees, the Varsity restaurant, the Braves…I think it’s those authentic Georgia traditions and roots that have resonated with audiences over the decades and that will make this night like a family reunion.”
