The Sunflower Concert Series at the State Botanical Garden of Georgia is returning this summer, offering an opportunity for the community to enjoy music in the garden. The concerts, set in the Flower Garden, offer visitors an unparalleled experience, with some of Athens’ finest musicians performing in a beautiful horticultural setting.

Each concert includes beverages, and people are encouraged to bring blankets, chairs and picnic suppers to enjoy in the garden. Concerts will be held inside the Visitor Center & Conservatory if weather necessitates.

The Randall Bramblett Band performs. Bramblett, a Jesup, Ga. native, may be known as Southern Rock Royalty for playing on stage with rock heroes like Bonnie Raitt, The Allman Brothers Band, Steve Winwood and Widespread Panic. Respected for his songwriting, he penned the title track for the Grammy-nominated Blind Boys of Alabama’s new album, adding to a long catalog of songs covered by Raitt, Gregg Allman, Bonnie Bramlett, Hot Tuna, Delbert McClinton and more. But it’s Bramblett’s own career as frontman, creating 12 albums, where his artistry is on full display.
