BRASSTOWN - The second weekend of August at the Brasstown Community Civic Center features the Partin family from the Talking Rock community near Ellijay, Georgia. The concert will be held on Saturday, August 11, 2007. Jeff and Faye Partin grew up in homes where family gospel singing was a part of life. When they grew up and married, they continued the tradition in their own home. Teaching their children about God and music both, the natural progression was to have a family band and to play gospel music for others. These days, the Partin Family group consists of Jeff playing the rhythm guitar; his son Jeffrey playing lead guitar; his three daughters Natasha, Felicia, and Latisha on vocals; his grandson little Jeffrey playing dobro; his sonin law Timmy playing upright bass; and Travis Banks playing the mandolin. Having traditional music in both his genes and environment has worked out well for little Jeffrey, as he can lay claim to a state championship in Georgia on the dobro. From the early days with Jeff and Faye, until today, the Partin Family has been making music for over 25 years. They are featured regularly on ETC-3 cable channel out of Ellijay, and have performed at many churches and festivals in the area.
Traditional music concerts are held at the Brasstown Community Civic Center on the second and fourth Saturdays of warm weather months. Concert time is 7:00 PM, with the box officeopening at around 6:30 PM. Admission is $4 for adults, and children 12 and under get in free. The community center is fully air conditioned, with snacks and soft drinks available for purchase. Come out and hear some hot music in cool comfort at the Brasstown Community Civic Center on Settawig Road in beautiful Brasstown, North Carolina!
