On Tuesday (May 10), Luke Bryan, Lee Brice, Randy Houser and many other special guests performed at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium as part of the third annual Georgia On My Mind concert. Presented by Jameson Irish Whiskey, the concert was hosted by songwriting trio The Peach Pickers—Dallas Davidson, Rhett Akins, and Ben Hayslip.
The concert raised more than $100,000 to benefit the Georgia Music Foundation, a non-profit organization chaired by Davidson that supports music preservation, education and outreach in The Peach Pickers’ home state of Georgia. The concert also served as a salute to iconic soul singer (and Georgia musician) Otis Redding, with performances from sons Dexter Redding and Otis Redding III.
Others taking the stage that evening included Big Boi, Craig Campbell, Tyler Farr, Randy Houser, Maggie Rose and rising singer/songwriters Travis Denning, Trea Landon, Jon Langston, Jordan Rager and Cole Taylor.
Leading up to the event, MusicRow spoke with Davidson about the importance of the concert to his home state of Georgia, and discussed his publishing and management company Play It Again Music Publishing.
