Georgia Music Hall of Fame Interview
Last week, I had the opportunity to meet with Lisa Love, Executive Director of the Georgia Music Hall of Fame and editor of Georgia Music Magazine.
Her rich understanding of the Georgia music industry is impressive! Not to
mention, Lisa has an uncanny ability to recall obscure artists and
their relationship to Georgia. Unfortunately, my digital recorder ran
out of memory during our conversation, but I was able to capture some
of her great insight in this podcast.
If you are an indie musician/band based in Georgia, be sure in listen
to the middle part of this interview as it pertains to you. These are a couple of the highlights:
- The Georgia music Industry is over $1billion and growing
- This year marks the 30th anniversary of the Georgia Music Hall of Fame Awards
- The museum receives about 50K visitors per year
While our conversation did not focus much on the museum itself, it's spectacular, and a must see! So the next time you're heading down to Savannah or Florida, or just looking for a day trip from Atlanta, take the time to visit - you will not be disappointed!

I was listening to one of Georgia's music legends and 1998 Music Hall of Fame inductee, The Allman Brothers (of course) as I wrote this post.
