Athens is a Vibrant Music Scene and the Cultural Hub of Northeast Georgia

Located about 60 miles northeast of Atlanta is the beautiful college town of Athens, Ga. Home of the University of Georgia, and the Georgia Bulldogs. Along tree-lined streets of a booming down-town shopping district visitors will discover a thriving artist's community. Renowned rock bands such as R.E.M, Wide Spread Panic, and the B52's pinned Athens on the map during the eighties, and has been declared by Rolling Stone Magazine as the #1 college music scene in America. Thanks to the University of Georgia, whose 30,000-plus students make up a third of the town's population, Athens continues to be a vibrant music scene and cultural mecca of Southern talent.

CONGRATULATIONS R.E.M.!

From the band's first show in 1981 on Oconee Street, till March 2008 when they were recognized by the rock world's Hall of Fame, these artists have kept a strong connection to the town of AThens and it's citizens. Check out a special 16-page section produced by the Athens Banner-Herald here. On their site you'll find photo galleries, audio slide shows, videos, even a chance for you to send your best wishes to the band.
