ZZ, TDawg, Mullins (pic by Stu. Thanks!)

We definitely had some die hard music lovers in the house this week on the Stephens’ Music Company Northwest Georgia Music Hour. Just talking about TDawg’s Back Porch Hootenanny was a blast, so imagine how much fun it will be at the actual event. Stu and I were joined by Thomas “TDawg” Helland and Larry “ZZ” Wiseman as we took a peak into TDawg’s final Hootenanny, which takes place this weekend at Cherokee Farms in Lafayette. Here’s what we heard.

Backwood Boulevard – Old Tailgate
Drivin’ N’ Cryin’ – Turn
The Barbaric Yawps – Esom Hill
Ralph Roddenbery & Friends – Pushing On A Pull Door
