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.
