From its humble beginnings, Pigs & Peaches has grown into one of the region's most beloved festivals attracting an estimated 60,000 attendees annually. Its roots trace back to the historic train Depot in downtown Kennesaw where in 2000, the City of Kennesaw's Parks & Recreation Department held a blues concert and barbeque cook-off for a handful of amateur grillers.

The backyard-only tradition continued until 2007 when organizers chose to elevate the experience for competitive cook teams by sanctioning the event.
In 2008, to make room for more cook teams and a few vendors eager to be part of the festivities, the event was moved to its current location at Adams Park.
Now in its 23rd year, the festival features two days of non-stop music, good eats, cold beer and interactive family-fun.

Luzianne Tea Main Stage
Boy Named Banjo
In the decade since their stripped-down 2012 debut, The Tanglewood Sessions, brought them to Bonnaroo, Boy Named Banjo have taken Nashville and beyond by storm with a series of critically acclaimed, genre-bending releases that have earned performances everywhere from the Ryman to the Grand Ole Opry alongside dates supporting the likes of Kip Moore, Hank Williams, Jr., Old Crow Medicine Show, and the Cadillac Three.

On their latest album, Dusk, Boy Named Banjo explored the full sonic and emotional spectrum of their rich, eclectic sound, from late-night, feel-good anthems to stripped-down, introspective meditations on loneliness, loss, and letting go.

While the band explored genres and flexed their range on Dusk, they have been working on a new body of music that marks a full-circle return to their Americana and bluegrass roots. "In the ten-plus years we’ve been together, we’ve explored many different sounds," says banjoist and vocalist Barton Davies, "but the one we keep coming back to is that folky, acoustic sound that inspired us to pick up our instruments in the first place." The group’s new music is slated for release in 2024.

Channing Wilson
For Georgia-bred country artist Channing Wilson, writing great songs means living each day with an immense depth of empathy, curiosity, and devotion to inspiration. "A songwriter can’t live 50 lifetimes but if he’s worth his weight in anything, he’d better be able to write like he has," Wilson says. With his past triumphs including penning songs for heavy-hitters like Luke Combs as well as sharing bills with the likes of Steve Earle, Billy Joe Shaver, and Robert Earl Keen Wilson now brings his warmly nuanced truth-telling to his long-awaited debut album Dead Man. Produced by eight-time Grammy-winner Dave Cobb (Sturgill Simpson, Jason Isbell, Chris Stapleton), the result is a timeless and truly singular body of work, revealing Wilson’s rare gift for turning the most painful aspects of the human condition into songs of life-affirming beauty.
