Bands & Musicians in Georgia

Atlanta anchors a globally recognized hip-hop ecosystem, launching acts like OutKast and the extended Dungeon Family collective. The college town of Athens fostered a pioneering indie rock scene that produced R.E.M. and the B-52s. A mix of Southern rock, R&B, and contemporary rap continues to thrive across the state's cities and university towns.

Know Georgia

Georgia's music runs deep. Little Richard and Otis Redding made Macon a soul landmark, Capricorn Records turned the city into a Southern rock capital around the Allman Brothers Band, and Ray Charles was born in Albany. Augusta raised James Brown. In the 1980s, Athens turned college rock into a national force through R.E.M. and the B-52s, and Atlanta later became the engine of Southern hip-hop with OutKast, the Dungeon Family, and trap.
