“Music gives a soul to the Universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination & life to everything.”… Plato

Coweta County and surrounding areas have some of the best events coming up in December. It’s the perfect time of the year to try new restaurants, see and hear the sights and sounds of the holidays. See you at a show soon!

Featured Artist – Sasha Hurtado

Each month, we feature an artist who is talented and working hard to promote their original music. I remember when Sasha played Newnan Unplugged several years ago and impressed everyone with her beautiful voice and presence on stage. Follow Sasha on FB & Instagram.

Sasha Hurtado

Sasha Hurtado is a rising indie/ pop artist and powerhouse singer from Georgia. Her most recent notable accomplishment was placing within the top 60 on Season 3 of American Idol. With hard work and years of vocal training and guitar lessons, she landed her first paid gig at 14 years old. Sasha has become a seasoned performer with experience on stages and at venues all over Georgia. Sasha’s Hispanic background lends to her love of blending genres and draws inspiration from a range of soulful, pop filled, and indie artists that have helped carve out her unique lane of artistic expression. In 

In 2020 Sasha released her first single called “Mr. No Good Guy” and she just released her follow-up single called “First” in September 2021.
