"The Georgia Theatre is one of the most iconic music venues in the state and one of the places that made Athens a music hub. The downtown building dates to 1889 when it was a YMCA, and has since morphed into a Methodist Church, music store, and Masonic Temple before becoming a music venue in 1977. Come for a live show on the main stage and you'll likely see an up-and-coming musician or an already big name at a value price in an intimate venue—it only holds 1,000 people." - Jennifer Bradley Franklin
