Hi Georgia,

So, I’ll make this introduction short and sweet (just like an ice cream sandwich!). My name is Pete Schmidt. I’ve been a resident of Georgia most of my life, and I’ve been in the music industry for twelve years.

I’m always looking for the next best band or the next coolest venue – and I’m here to let you in on what’s on the up-and-up here in Georgia. Think of me as a mix between Simon Cowell and Mike Rowe – Dirty Jobs plus American Idol. I’m always ready to get dirty and dig out the next greatest talent. Hole in the wall bars, up-scale venues, folk artists to rockers – it all works.

That said, I’m excited to start talking music! Please feel free to send me info on your favorite local band or hot spot. It’s time we start promoting all the great music Georgia has to offer!
