R.E.M. in the Georgia Music HOF
R.E.M. will be inducted into the Georgia Music Hall of Fame this September. More to come later, but the press release is on the jump...
ATLANTA - April 3, 2006 - A talented and diverse group of Georgians highlight the 2006 inductees to the Georgia Music Hall of Fame.
The 28th Annual Awards Banquet, to be held Saturday, Sept. 16 in the Thomas B. Murphy Ballroom of the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, will recognize five artists who have made significant contributions to Georgia's music industry. The banquet is held each year by the Friends of Georgia Music Festival, Inc. and the Senate Music Industry Committee.
"This year's banquet promises to be one of the most exciting ever because of the amazing lineup of honorees," said Dr. Bobbie Bailey, chairman of the Friends of Georgia Music Festival, Inc. "This annual event allows us to shine the spotlight on our state's wonderful music industry, and the talented and creative people who have made Georgia a hub for music of all types."
Athens-based alternative rock group R.E.M. will be honored in the Group category. R.E.M. was formed in 1980 in Athens by Michael Stipe (vocals), Bill Berry (drums), Peter Buck (guitar) and Mike Mills (bass). By the early 1990s, the band was one of the world's most popular, respected and influential bands. The band's success cemented Athens' place on the national radar as a hub for alternative music.
The 2006 honoree in the Performer category is Gregg Allman. Gregg rose to prominence as the lead singer, organist and songwriter for the Allman Brothers Band, founded in 1969 in Macon. The classic Southern rock band had many chart-topping hits written by Allman, including "Whipping Post" and "Midnight Rider." He also emerged as a solo artist, releasing the critically acclaimed album "Laid Back," which launched a solo tour and subsequent live album that was also a success.
In the Non-Performer group, Columbus-born Dallas Austin is the 2006 inductee. Austin is an accomplished all-around talent whose resume includes both music and film production. He has worked with a wide variety of artists, from legendary acts such as Aretha Franklin, George Clinton, Michael Jackson and Madonna to today's stars such as Usher, Pink and Gwen Stefani. Austin has produced more than 50 hit singles, and in 2000 captured a GRAMMY® Award for producing the year's top R&B Album, "Fanmail," by TLC. In 2002, he produced his first major motion picture, "Drumline," shot almost exclusively in Georgia. His latest movie project, "The ATL," hit theaters on March 31.
