Plenty of area fall events are usually showcased in the September/October, Tourism & Agriculture issue of Statesboro Magazine: Georgia Southern Football, The Great Kiwanis Ogeechee Fair, the Brooklet Peanut Festival, the list goes on. But, this year, due to Covid-19 precautions, many of those area events and festivals have been postponed or cancelled until next year. Better safe than sorry, we say.
But that hasn’t stopped us from finding plenty of inspiring stories that will appeal to visitors and natives alike. In the signature Blind Willie tune, Statesboro Blues, there’s a line that stands out to us – “I’m goin’ to the Country, baby do you wanna go?” In this issue, we decided to go to the Country where we found three area musicians to talk to: Micah Bonn, formerly known as Micahlan Boney, Clayton Hackle, and Bluegrass bass player Rafe Waters. Each musician shares with us their dreams and successes on the road to Country music fame.
