A 2018 Semi-Finalist for the Georgia Country Female Artist of the Year, Jeannie Caryn found her way to music as a means of escape. Raised in “Sin City,” Las Vegas, Nevada, she longed for something other than gambling, neon, or plastic to which she could surrender her soul: “Something that would not implode like old buildings on the Strip,” she says. Life led Jeannie away from song and performance until April 2010, when she started playing out at various Open Mics throughout Atlanta. She quickly became a popular performer and began landing gigs throughout the city. She has been playing all throughout Atlanta and North Georgia ever since. According to Jeannie, she is driven by her passion to capture and celebrate the human experience through her artistic endeavors, always moving forward towards authentic communication and connections with those who share this world. Jeannie states, “It’d be great to see my name in neon lights on the Vegas Strip someday, but ultimately, as long as I can please an audience with story, song, and art, I feel accomplished!”

For a decade and counting, The Bitteroots have been bringing their original jam-rock formula to stages large and small around Atlanta and beyond.
Since its founding in 2008, the band’s groove-oriented approach to rock ‘n’ roll has drawn comparisons to the Tedeschi Trucks Band, Melissa Etheridge and Janis Joplin and has landed The Bitteroots onstage at some of the Southeast’s most prestigious festivals, including the Atlanta Dogwood Festival, the Sweetwater 420 Festival, the Summer Shade Festival, the Inman Park Festival and Stone Mountain Park’s Yellow Daisy Festival.

“Others before self”, a simple concept, yet it is so often overlooked as we move about our everyday lives. This idea is alive and well at the Florence Academy of Fine Arts in Florence Alabama! FAFA (the Academy) began 7 years ago and has grown to be a major proponent for the Arts in the State of Alabama. They began small and have grown tremendously. During his time as a board member of the Alabama Arts Alliance, the Director of FAFA realized that over 70% of the schools in the state offered no arts to their students. Examining the positive effects that the Academy had on attendance, grades and graduation rates, those involved with the Academy realized that there was a chance to have a positive influence in the schools without arts.

Bio
Guitarist and composer Bill Hart earned his stellar reputation as a guitarist, composer, bandleader, music educator, touring musician and recording artist. Having released six CDs as leader of his world-renowned Bill Hart Band, Bill has also proven his merit as a guitar instructor. Bill’s music book, Solo Jazz Guitar: The Complete Chord Melody Method, issued by Hal Leonard in 1999 and reissued in 2007, is an excellent tutorial for aspiring guitarists. Speaking about his role as a guitar instructor, Bill explains “I have taught students from all over the world, with interests in all styles of music, and have seen them all benefit from studying chord melody”. Among the musicians in the know that have given praises to Bill’s book are guitar heroes such as Mike Stern (“a must-have for every serious guitarist”) and Steve Khan (“Bill’s book provides you with all the tools”).

Bio
The Robin Bibi Band was born in the late 90s when Robin was inspired to start his own Texas Style Blues/ Rock band after having worked as a session man with such arists as the Pretty Things, Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, Ben E. King and Helen Shapiro to name but a few.
The Band released their debut Album “Blue Thrash Therapy” in late 1997. Mainly blues standards with a couple of notable original songs thrown in. This album received AirPlay straight away from Paul Jones in his Jazz FM show and the band started to become popular in the live circuit. The follow up, “Language of Your Soul”, a work of mainly original material, was released to more critical acclaim in 2000.
Since then – and 8 more albums and a DVD later – the Robin Bibi Band have established themselves as one of the UK’s hardest working and most popular bands in their genre and Robin had been widely recognized as one of the UK’s finest Blues / Rock guitarists!
