who we are
As a group of four students at the University of Georgia, we hope this music page can give you an insight to the sounds of Athens, Georgia. The year 2020 has only inspired each of us to listen more closely to the soundtrack of life, and we hope this blog can help you look more closely at every new song, album, and virtual concert experience.
