Admission= donation at the door $15 ($10 for members). In referencing Liverpool’s Fab Four, it’s been a `long and winding road…’ for Savannah, GA-based Singer/Songwriter, Brian Edwards filled with lots of laughter and lessons in life’s ups-and-downs, great experiences and fine fodder for song-writing. Performing for decades along the East Coast, from Portland to Port Richie, Edwards combines an award-winning radio career with live performances across the country to hone his unique stylings and outlook. Sharing stages with artists like: Jesse Colin Young, Jonathan Edwards, Chris Smither, Pousette-Dart Band, the New Riders of the Purple Sage and countless others, Edwards looks forward to the Summer of 2026 to release new songs after a 10-year hiatus from the recording studio. Joined by a group of Savannah’s best musicians, Brian Edwards and Friends bring an Americana-sound blended with a tinge of folk and a nod to jazz and rock to the stage for a night of pure fun and real, LIVE music—no tape loops or AI enhancement Zack Landers has been performing since the age of six, first singing in churches in Alabama alongside his family. Inspired by the classics of Hank Williams, Jimmy Rogers, and others, Zack honed his love of classic country music and songwriting. In his mid-twenties, Zack was a regular on Birmingham's morning television show, "The Country Boy Eddie Show," where he would perform every Wednesday morning. Zack's journey took him to Houston, Texas, where he performed with bands and in local clubs. Zack has received many awards for his songwriting contributions over the years. Later, in Atlanta, he was a regular performer at Southern Comfort (one of Georgia's largest honky tonks), where he was partnered and mentored by George Franklin Jones, the club's owner. Now, based in Savannah, Zack continues to write and perform. He is best known in the Savannah area for his love and dedication to classic country and folk music. Over the years, he has worked with many of Nashville's top musicians and engineers, and his CDs feature Zack singing his original songs. In addition to his studio recordings, his YouTube channel features Zack covering many country hits from over the years. Join us for a top-notch night of music. You’ll be pleased you did.
