Georgia’s next star?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Georgia has a great track record of successful musical artists these days, though that’s nothing new. Mainstream rockers Cartel, indie bands the Black Lips and Deerhunter, country singer Luke Bryan and rapper Soulja Boy are just the latest in a long line of great Georgia exports.
Evan McHugh and the Whigs are just two of our on-the-verge bands. Singer-songwriter McHugh has a beautiful album called “From the Second Chair” that’s gaining some well-deserved attention and Athens trio the Whigs have just finished their first album for Dave Matthews’ ATO Records (it’ll be out in January). Both artists have local shows coming up, if you want to see what they can do onstage: McHugh at Eddie’s Attic on Oct. 13 and the Whigs at Variety Playhouse on Oct. 20.
Tell us some of your favorite local tips for the top? Who’s the next musical star from Georgia?
