Hollin Gammage from Tennessee, among 7 finalists for Suwannee Riverkeeper Songwriting Contest, Valdosta, GA

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Valdosta, GA, June 14, 2018 — Three judges from Florida and Georgia will choose from seven finalists from three states to award prizes in the Suwannee Riverkeeper Songwriting Contest, Saturday, June 23, in Valdosta, Georgia.

Sending in a song from the farthest away, Tennessee, and with the most laconic self-description, is Hollin Gammage:

Performing songwriter from southeast north America will travel.

She wrote a bit more on ReverbNation:

River folk, Mountain blues, Native earthy Singer/Songwriter, Hollin Gammage, She has “Georgia in her eyes”, her hometown, and has been singing most of her life playing full contact sports along side, which gives her a driving edge for success. Her level of self taught musical range is impressive, from the Native American Flute and lyrics, Suli, Harmonica, Keyboards, Guitars, Djimbe. Her lyrics are captivating and seductively send you on a inner self journey, you just never know where or how she will fill in the musical gaps,as Taylor Hicks said to her “Girl you got some serious church in you”.

We’ve already posted about two other submissions, who are now also among the finalists chosen by the Songwriting Contest Committee:

Each finalist has a good chance to win the first prize of $300. Or the $50 prize for a finalist from within the Basin, or the $50 prize for a finalist from outside, plus there will be a prize for one finalist in each musical genre or style.
