The Classic City Entertainment Group (CCEG) is hosting its first annual Classic City Blues Fest. The event is scheduled for Saturday, January 25, 2025, at 7 p.m. at The Classic Center Theatre at 300 North Thomas Street in Athens.
The festival will feature a lineup of renowned artists including West Love, Tucker, and Sir Charles. The event will double as a fundraiser for CCEG’s community efforts and scholarship foundation.
“We want to bring to the city of Athens, our home, our city, something that’s most meaningful to us – family and Southern Soul music – by bringing in some of the best entertainment in Southern Soul,” says Tammie Wingfield, co-founder of CCEG.
CCEG is a non-profit entertainment agency committed to providing the Athens community with exciting concerts, outdoor events, and unforgettable experiences. Tammie and Reggie Wingfield, Chelsea and Chandler Glover, and Kenyatta “Tion” Mattox established CCEG to become Athens’ #1 Southern Soul Entertainment organization. The organization is responsible for hosting events such as the popular “Steppaz Sunday” at the VFW.
CCEG is dedicated to the Athens community, and The Classic City Blues Fest exemplifies what it’d like to accomplish. A portion of the proceeds generated from the event will be allocated to the organization’s community efforts, which include food giveaways and support for victims of natural disasters.
CCEG previously distributed over 100 turkeys to families in Athens for Thanksgiving and provided support to victims of Hurricane Helene in Augusta, according to a press release.
