Band Together - Virtual Concerts Premiere!

Description

The Classic Center, Terrapin Beer Co., AthFest, and the Athens Area Chamber of Commerce have partnered to present Band Together, a weekly virtual concert series that will bring your favorite entertainers right to your doorstep.

Join us every Thursday night on YouTube at Band Together Athens for some at-home entertainment.

You won't want to miss this!

The show begins Thursday, April 9 at 7:00 p.m. with local bands Leaving Countries and
Cicada Rhythm.

Leaving Countries was founded by Louis Phillip Pelot and has diversely performed everything from a solo act to a 13-piece orchestra. The band explores the crossroads between loving your hometown and the pull of the road with a soulful blend of original songs and popular hits.

Cicada Rhythm is made up of Georgia natives Andrea DeMarcus and Dave Kirslis. The pair modernizes folk music in a way that American Songwriter deemed ?Hypnotic.

During the performances, viewers will be able to comment, like, and donate. Donations will support the Athens Area Community Foundation's COVID-19 Community Response Fund. The performers that raise the most support will have the opportunity to perform at live events in the community such as the AthFest Music and Arts Festival, AthHalf, Terrapin RecFest, or as an opener for an upcoming concert at The Classic Center. 

Are you a local artist interested in participating in this virtual series? The Classic Center is looking for entertainers who recognize the pervasive power of music during difficult times and who want to help Athens band together as a community for this project. Local artists are encouraged to contact BandTogether@ClassicCenter.com.

Tune in every Thursday and support your favorite artists from the comfort of your own home! Stay safe, stay home, stay Athens!
