Babe’s Bayou Returns To Downtown Cartersville

CARTERSVILLE, GA — One of northwest Georgia's favorite country band, Babe's Bayou, will perform Saturday as part of the Music by the Tracks summer concert series. The performance is free and begins at 6 p.m., rain or shine, according to a news release from the Cartersville Downtown Development Authority (CDDA).

"The Downtown Development Authority and Music by the Tracks planning committee are so excited to have Babe's Bayou return in 2019," Cartersville marketing and promotions coordinator Hannah Surrett said in the release. "Babe's Bayou performed in the 2018 Music by the Tracks series and drew a staggering amount of people. They have an amazing stage presence and are a real crowd pleaser. I expect the attendance to be record-breaking at their performance on July 20."

Babe's Bayou features musicians Ryan Coker, Matt Chambers, and Matt Thornton. The group has shared the stage with acts like Luke Bryan, Billy Currington, and Kip Moore. They have also been voted Georgia Country Artist of the Year twice, CDDA said.
