Vanessa Briscoe Hay is Athens Georgia music royalty. Her “first-wave” band PYLON helped create the Athens music scene and heavily influenced the 80’s & 90’s American pop underground. AllMusic wrote that Pylon's "role as elder statesmen of the alternative rock explosion is unassailable”.
Along with R.E.M. and the B-52’s, Pylon is part of the “Big Three of Athens Music” and were among the first artists to be enshrined on the new Athens Music Walk of Fame.
And Vanessa keeps the heart and soul of PYLON music moving into the future with her new band, the Pylon Reenactment Society. From their new debut album "Magnet Factory”, to her definitive PYLON collection simply titled “BOX”, to a scorching track on the upcoming Kevn Kinney Tribute Album - Hay is keeping her foundational music in a leadership role.
She’s still an Athens resident who never misses a Dawgs game and is a life-long Braves fan, too! And it’s an incredible honor to have her join us today - Vanessa Briscoe Hay, welcome to Braves Country!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

GRAMMY winning Nashville rocker Mike Farris calls home to Braves Country from Oslo, Norway while on tour…
Farris got personal on his last record, “Silver & Stone” on Compass Records. The title referred to his wife Julie's wedding ring, and the album is a celebration of their 25+ years of marriage and her steadfastness in sticking by him through his years struggling with addiction and alcoholism.
Now sober for many years, Farris has the energy and conviction of a man saved, a stack of anecdotes and life experiences that would make most people’s heads spin, and a soulful vocal delivery reminiscent of Sam Cooke or Otis Redding.
Last month, Farris released his soulful rendition of the Drivin’ N’ Cryin’ classic, “Honeysuckle Blue” for the upcoming album “Let’s Go Dancing: a Celebration of Kevn Kinney” on Tasty Goody Records. It’s fantastic; and we play the single half way through this episode…
This Tennessee-born Rocker is known for his Soul-Singing and his major label band, The Screamin’ Cheetah Wheelies - but you might not know he’s a life-long fan of the Atlanta Braves and that he's coming to Mableton, Georgia on October 7th for a special “Triumph In Life” Concert…
Tug and Scott are honored to have a very candid conversation with the one and only Mike Farris - welcome to Braves Country!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
