Today: A Continuation of the Augusta Rocks Mini Series Highlighting Local Music. This episode features Mackenzie Blake, a local musician who, while she is in her first year of performing and recording music EVER (if you don't count church singing), had caught on in Augusta and spread like wildfire. She just released first song, Hungover, and talks about how she went from a spontaneous gig with the Baker Bros Band to recording music and performing at venues even up to Columbia, South Carolina! Ethan joined us in an incredible fur coat to play some guitar in the studio with Mackenzie & he killed it as always. Follow along with his new projects: The Brownstown Gritty & The Village Sticks.

Listen to Her New Single Wherever You listen to Music!
