The Georgia Music Foundation and Jameson® Irish Whiskey have announced the “Jameson Peach Jam,” a celebration of Georgia’s hitmakers at The George Jones Rooftop Bar in Nashville on

The “Jameson Peach Jam” is the official kick-off for the “Fourth Annual Jameson Irish Whiskey Presents Georgia On My Mind” benefit concert hosted by the Peach Pickers and featuring special guests on Tuesday, May 16 at the historic Ryman Auditorium in Nashville.

“Adding a second night of Georgia-bred music in Nashville was a direct result of the popularity and success of ‘Georgia On My Mind,'” said Dallas Davidson, a member of the Peach Pickers and chair of the Georgia Music Foundation. “There’s so much homegrown talent in Georgia that our Ryman show could go all night, but instead we are partnering with our friends at Jameson to create a second event spotlighting Peach State songwriters and one of Jameson’s emerging artists.”

Songwriters participating in the “Jameson Peach Jam” include Pat Alger, Tony Arata, Trea Landon, Jon Langston, Cole Taylor, and special guests.  

It’s fitting to host Georgians at The George Jones! The venue celebrates the legacy of its namesake through live music every day, great food, and a rooftop bar with one of the best views of Nashville. The state-of-the-art museum gives visitors a rare glimpse into the personal and professional life of country music icon, George Jones.   

Tickets for the “Jameson Peach Jam” cost $10 and proceeds benefit the Georgia Music Foundation. Tickets are available now via https://www.xorbia.com/events/georgiamusicfoundation/jameson-peach-jam.
