Down Home Booking

Our Story

The Story of DOWN HOME BOOKING and our idea behind it.

When you are in “The South”, anywhere basically below the Mason Dixon line, there is something called Southern Hospitality and that includes food, commonly called Down Home Cooking. This refers to the food preparation, taste and love that goes into making these delicious dishes. It’s the best of the best in flavor, from Soul Food to desserts. Think buttermilk biscuits, fried chicken, collard greens and homemade pies. The ingredients come from the surrounding areas and are recipes handed down from generation to generation.

Now think that same Southern Hospitality in terms of music. Think of all the different styles of music “The South” has to offer, New Orleans Jazz, Memphis Blues, Nashville Country, Atlanta R&B, Athens college rock, Carolina Beach music and the Appalachian Mountain Bluegrass. Music knows no boundaries and often finds itself mixing with the other styles and genres. Well Down Home Booking takes the same approach in providing venues the best of the best in bands from the area. As a boutique booking agency, we specialize in taking on a few of the bands we see going on and excelling at the next level and touring across the country. Maybe they open for National acts, maybe they get signed to a major label. We have been in the music business for 25 years and consider ourselves the “taste makers” to help pick out the best bands to facilitate and nurturer these acts to bigger and better things.

With an ever changing music industry and how music is heard these days, one thing will never change, and that’s the live music element. Nothing is more satisfying than seeing one of your favorite bands up close and in person, where you can almost reach out and touch them. Hey! Not too close! It’s that emotion and the experience a great show provided that excites us to continue to support live music with moments like that.
