Savannah Georgia On My Mind promotional artwork by Charles Maring
The music scene in Savannah, Georgia is filled with extraordinary talent backed by the heart of musicians who think big about humanity and community they serve. The Homegrown Collective puts on concerts in support of charities each year, and each time they dig deep to seek out artists that represent the heart and soul of this creative city we call home. Savannah is a city where folks seek out live music, and celebrate original music as well. As a musician and songwriter I’ve never experienced a scene quite like this where musicians go out of their way to support one another and the community at large. I’m proud to be amongst those who do. Georgia on My Mind was a tribute concert celebrating the bands and artists from Georgia.
