In this Public Radio Music Day special, Peach Jam turns the spotlight on Georgia’s local musicians whose creativity defines the state’s sound. Host Jeremy Powell invites listeners into a celebration of public radio’s role in connecting communities through music. 

From Chatsworth’s introspective Americana artist Pony Bradshaw to Conyers’ acoustic soul singer Kyla Simone, the performances reflect both the diversity and unity of Georgia’s musical landscape.

The episode moves through genres and generations. Eddie 9V’s Southern Soul grooves meet the melodic storytelling of Dahlonega’s Jesse Williams and the introspective alternative blues of Wiley from Atlanta. Each conversation and performance reveals how Georgia’s artists blend their roots with new influences, shaping what is next in American music.

At its heart, this episode is a tribute to the musicians who make Georgia sing and to the public radio listeners who keep those songs alive. Recorded live at the GPB Studios, the Peach Jam Public Radio Music Day Special reminds us that local voices are what make public radio thrive.
