Fresh off his debut at the Grand Ol’ Opry, country singer John King returns home for a concert at Piedmont College Nov. 2 called “Homegrown.”
The concert at the Arrendale Amphitheater begins with another “Homegrown” band, Georgia Street, opening at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are available online for $12 at www.piedmont.edu/homegrown and will be $15 at the door. Admission for Piedmont students, faculty, and staff is $5. All proceeds will benefit Habitat for Humanity of Northeast Georgia. The Amphitheater is located at 359 College Drive in Demorest.
King, who’s debut single, “Tonight, Tonight” co-written with Marshall Altman, has reached the Top 40 on Billboard’s Country Airplay Chart, is a Demorest native who formed his first band at age 15 and honed his musical skills in Athens. In 2013, King signed with Black River Entertainment out of Nashville.
Georgia Street is a new band made up of Piedmont College students Logan Pethel and Preston Graham with area musicians Trey Brantley, Tahd Adams, and Maison Clouatre. The group plays a variety of rock, country, and Christian music.
