- Singer songwriters perform in the Pavilion from 2-4pm
- October 6 : Songwriters Charles Absher, John Cable & George Eckard
- Charles Absher has been playing music since high school (yes, over 50 years ago). There was a 10-year period when he put down the guitar to earn a civil engineering degree, but it soon became his stress reliever as he advanced in his career. He’s played in Bluegrass, Folk/Rock and Americana bands both before and after the college degree. Now retired, he continues to compose and perform his own songs.
- John Cable began his career in the late 60s. After serving as lead guitarist and vocalist for the Texas country rock pioneers, Colours, he became a member of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. He has performed on The Tonight Show, Don Kirshner’s Rock Concert, The Midnight Special, Austin City Limits and the Grand Ole Opry and some great concert venues, including Wolftrap, Carnegie Hall, and Red Rocks.
- George Eckard has lived in the Atlanta area for more than 50 years and has been playing various instruments for longer than that. He has played at local venues solo, with the Unusual Suspects and with the 4 Man String Band. His second recorded collection of original songs, Love the Land, was completed recently. He leads the Songwriting Lab at the Frank Hamilton School.
