Ugly Cousin will provide the music at this year’s Live Country Auction. The band members are all natives of Dahlonega – ‘Nuggets’ as locals often coin themselves -- who all grew up around a variety of music. However, there is a clear and ‘golden’ thread of traditional music woven throughout their repertoire. Both age-old favorites and well honed originals incorporate a half dozen genres of music, with the very relevant subject matter of much of their original music reflecting on small town life and the trials of living in the “new depression”.

Additional information about the group can be found in this newspaper article: Red and Black

Members of the band are Erick Jones, vocals/guitar; Zak McConnell, vocals/guitar/mandolin; Adam Rambin, vocals/bass; Patrick Chisolm, fiddle; and Roman Gaddis, vocals/mandolin/guitar.
