Georgia Theatre to Host Athens’ Own Packway Handle Band January 26th

Hometown bluegrass favorites Packway Handle Band will be lighting up Athens in January for a rollicking good time full of traditional music and bluegrass originals. They’ll be joined by Georgia pickers and rising bluegrass act Seven Handle Circus.

Since 2001, Packway Handle Band has been finding critical praise and nation-wide audiences for their high-energy, “gather-round-the-mic” performances. Drawing from a catalogue of crafted originals, clever arrangements of American traditionals, and unexpected covers drenched in bluegrassy stylings, they have performed twice at the Telluride Bluegrass Competition and built a buzz around themselves as a young stringband with great potential.

Don’t miss them in this special hometown show at the historic Georgia Theatre with up-and-comers Seven Handle Circus for a night of pickin and two-steppin!

*Doors Open @ 8:00 PM
Seven Handle Circus @ 9:00 PM
Packway Handle Band @ 11:00 PM
