Guests this year include: Lee Brice, Jon Langston, Jordan Rager, Trea Landon, Cole Taylor, Travis Denning, Randy Houser, Otis Redding III, Dexter Redding, Craig Campbell, Tyler Farr, Big Boi, Mannie Fresh and Maggie Rose!
When the Peach Pickers, three of Nashville's most successful songwriters, invite their friends to help celebrate the music of their home state of Georgia, it's a star-studded family affair that benefits the non-profit Georgia Music Foundation. For the third year in a row, the Peach Pickers—Dallas Davidson, Rhett Akins and Ben Hayslip—will host "Jameson Irish Whiskey Presents Georgia On My Mind," an evening of all hits, all night long. The lineup of artists who will join the Peach Pickers will be announced in phases beginning in early spring and in an ongoing tradition, some artists will remain unannounced surprises.
During the 2015 "Georgia On My Mind" concert at the Ryman Auditorium, the Peach Pickers welcomed performers Luke Bryan, Thomas Rhett, Cole Swindell, Randy Houser, Lee Brice, Tyler Farr, Lauren Alaina, Craig Campbell, Maggie Rose and Four Wheel Drive (Cole Taylor, Jordan Rager, Travis Denning and Jon Langston). In the inaugural "Georgia On My Mind" benefit concert in 2014 at 3rd & Lindsley, guest artists included Jason Aldean, Luke Bryan, Cole Swindell, Daryle Singletary, songwriters Tony Arata and Pat Alger and more.
This year's "Georgia On My Mind" concert will also include a special tribute to Otis Redding, who would have been 75 years old in 2016. The soul icon was born in Dawson, Georgia, raised in Macon and well on his way to becoming one of the biggest stars in soul music before he was tragically killed in a plane crash in 1967. Redding's hits, including "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay," "Try A Little Tenderness" and "Mr. Pitiful," continue to resonate with audiences worldwide today.
As the Peach Pickers, Dallas Davidson, Rhett Akins and Ben Hayslip have amassed more than 60 #1 hits among the three of them. Their respective catalogs include chart-toppers "Kick Up the Dust," "Tonight Looks Good on You," "I Don't Want This Night To End," "All About Tonight," "Gimmie That Girl," "Just A Kiss," "When She Says Baby," "Boys Round Here," "It Goes Like This," "We Owned The Night," "I Don't Dance," "I'm Gonna Love You Through It," "Point At You," "That's My Kind Of Night," "Rain Is A Good Thing," "Small Town Throwdown" and many more.
Proceeds from "Jameson Irish Whiskey Presents Georgia On My Mind" benefit the Georgia Music Foundation which fosters an awareness for the state's rich music heritage and administers the newly established Music Preservation, Education and Outreach Grant program. In December 2015, proceeds from the 2015 concert enabled the Foundation to award ,000 in grants to 12 Georgia schools and organizations. Applications for the 2016 Music Preservation, Education and Outreach Grant program will be available online July 1, 2016 at georgiamusicfoundation.org.
