Primary Content
On this episode of Peach Jam, you meet Lloyd Carter, a South Georgia country artist whose music is rooted in community, storytelling, and soul. Lloyd talks with our host, Jeremy, about growing up in radio, finding his way back to music after burnout, and what it means to create art without chasing the charts. Along the way, you hear live performances and stories from Hahira, Georgia, the road, and the fourth quarter of life.
Lloyd Carter has spent his life surrounded by music, from gospel quartets in small South Georgia churches to spinning vinyl in local radio stations. In this conversation, he reflects on growing up in radio during the seventies, learning to love music as a shared experience, and why community matters as much as the songs themselves.
After stepping away from music during a difficult personal chapter, Lloyd found his way back through collaboration, songwriting, and a renewed sense of purpose. He talks openly about burnout, fear, and the courage it takes to change your life, whether that means leaving a bad situation or returning to a passion you thought you had lost. His perspective is grounded, humorous, and shaped by the belief that if you are not enjoying what you are doing, you can choose differently.
Throughout the episode, live performances bring his songs to life, revealing a sound that blends traditional country with touches of soul and rhythm. Lloyd also shares stories about South Georgia’s tight-knit music scene, being inducted into the Georgia Country Music Hall of Fame, contributing songs to film soundtracks, and his vision for the future. For Lloyd, the fourth quarter is about having fun, making music that feels honest, and doing it while you are able.
