RE: Historic Ritz Theatre Welcomes the Return of the Edgar Loudermilk Band

Toccoa, GA – October 4, 20201– Stephens County resident and local favorite Edgar Loudermilk, returns with his band for a Night at the Ritz at the Historic Ritz Theatre, on Friday, October 8th at 7:00pm.

Loudermilk’s signature voice, bass skills, and songwriting are a family tradition for this Louvin Brothers’ descendant. Having experienced a long tenure of performing, including several industry awards, with IIIrd Tyme Out, Rhonda Vincent, and Marty Raybon, in 2015 he stepped out forming his own band with the highly acclaimed guitarist, Jeff Autry.   In late 2019, Autry took a hiatus from the band due to health reasons.  In 2019, Georgia native and accomplished guitarist Clint Coker joined the Edgar Loudermilk Band.  Rounding out the group are Zack Autry (mandolin/harmony vocals) and Curtis Bumgarner (banjo). The band’s most recent release, “Dark Side of Lonesome” has cracked the top 10 of Sirius XM’s Bluegrass Junction’s Most Played list.

Night at the Ritz, a regular event series at the Historic Ritz Theatre, is funded  in part by generous grants  from the Georgia Council for the Arts and the Georgia Endowment for the Arts. Tickets for all shows may be purchased online, or at the theatre box office night of show. Adult tickets are $10, children under 12 are $5, and students with an ID are also $5.
