Full Lineup Announced for Songwriters at the Lake Music Festival in November

Presented by Ingles on November 13-15 at Lanier Islands Resort, the Songwriters at the Lake Music Festival promises three days of hit songs from the original songwriters and the stories behind them. Headlined by Chuck Leavell – famed keyboardist for the Allman Brothers Band and The Rolling Stones, Songwriters at the Lake will combine a stunning lakeside setting, a fall weekend filled with music-making and storytelling, eight stages throughout the resort, and legendary artists that include Randall Bramblett, Jimmy Hall, Joanna Cotten, and more. The festival's organizers, Songwriters ATL, announced today the full lineup of artists who will appear at the festival.

Beyond the award-winning talents of Leavell, Bramblett, Hall, and Cotten, the Songwriters at the Lake Music Festival lineup will feature:

• Tony Arata
• Ed Hill
• Jim Collins
• Greg Barnhill
• Chuck Cannon
• Webb Wilder
• Chuck Jones
• Frank Myers
• Gary Baker
• Wynn Varble
• Michelle Malone
• Drew Parker

Songwriters at the Lake performers also include Joe Lasher, Kaitlyn Baker, Britt Wilder, and Cole Grover. Additional artists may be added to the lineup in the coming weeks. At the heart of the weekend, the Chuck Leavell and Friends concert kicks off at 6 p.m. on the main stage – showcasing the talents of Chuck Leavell, Randall Bramblett, Jimmy Hall, Joanna Cotten, Greg Barnhill, and others. Tickets for the three-day festival are just $129 per person and include resort gate entry. A portion of festival ticket proceeds will benefit the Georgia Mountain Food Bank, the Jarrard Burch Songwriter Foundation, and other worthy charities.

“We are delighted to have so much talent converge on Lanier Islands Resort,” said Matthew Bowling, President of Lanier Islands Resort. “Songwriter festivals represent one of the fastest-growing genres of music gatherings in the U.S., and ours will be the first songwriter mega event in North Georgia. We look forward to welcoming the artists and the fans who love their music. Songs like ‘I Swear,’ ‘The Dance,’ and ‘Most People Are Good’ hold deep personal meaning for so many. How cool will it be to learn the inspiration behind those songs from the people who wrote them? Given the breadth and depth of talent at such an excellent price for three days of music, we highly recommend everyone secures their weekend passes before they sell out.”

Bowling also warns that rooms are already being booked up quickly all over the Islands for the three-day festival – from Legacy Lodge and Villas to the LakeHouses at Legacy. After securing their tickets to Songwriters at the Lake, he recommends attendees book a three-day, two-night stay at the resort right away so they won’t miss a minute of the music.
