Cicada Rhythm Born and raised in Georgia, this talented pair imitates and modernizes folk music to a rejuvenating degree. Their sound exhibits skilled and articulate guitar picking honed in the dive bars of Atlanta over rolling Julliard-trained bass lines. Expect chilling harmonies, unbridled enthusiasm, some wholesome tunes and a sincere performance.

Rewind Retry is the collusion of John Maddox, Will Childress, Griffin Ver Steeg, and Alex Freehof. Originally conceived in 2012 on the fourth floor of Shorter Hall at Mercer University, the band didn’t take shape until two years later on a humid August evening in downtown Macon, GA. Drawing equally from the exploding southern indie canon and a certain British art rock sensation, the group has begun to make its introduction to the Georgia music scene.
