ATHENS FARMERS MARKET, ATHENS MUSIC
Athens is a culturally rich town. Music and the people who make it are the basic ingredient, and the market is privileged to serve as a venue to some of our town's most talented musicians. They play without compensation from the market, except for the tips of righetous food that our farmers and purveyors of prepared food send their way.
Of course, our patrons also buy their CDs, and give them some green.
Stop, dance, smile, clap and say thank you. Where else can you get live music from talented artists on Saturday morning? And don't forget about Tuesday afternoons at Little Kings.
Interested in playing at the market? Please see our "WHO ARE WE" page and contact our music director about a potential gig.
A special thank you goes out to Musician's Warehouse and Nuci's Space for making live music a reality, every market day!
Also, we are on the lookout for a dedicated and reliable Music Director to take over for Wilma next season. Please contact Wilma if you're interested.
