A Small Concert In Augusta Has Become Big In 25 Years

The First Guitar Pull in Augusta was a little different than the ones many of you have seen. About 400 people attended, and it was at Sacred Heart Cultural Center in downtown Augusta. The tickets were homemade by the radio station's marketing director. (Shout out to Angie!).

The lineup was Doug Stone, Chely Wright, Micheal Peterson, The Wilkinsons, and the Warren Brothers.

Where are they today?

Doug Stone is still touring and doing what he loves. He has had a very successful career.

Chely Wright is married and has a “real job.” However, a recent look at her website shows no dates on her tour schedule.

Michael Peterson is still doing some shows around the country.

The Wilkinsons. As of 2023, Amanda and Tyle still perform together when they can. However, their dad has retired. Their big hit was “26 Cents”

The Warren Brothers were recently back on stage in Evans at the Columbia County Performing Arts Center with KICKS 99’s Songwriters Series. After a successful touring career, they have written songs for Nashville’s biggest artists, like “Red Solo Cup” for Toby Keith, along with songs for Dierks Bentley, Tim McGraw, Keith Urban, and more.

Now, the KICKS 99 Guitar Pull is celebrating its 25th year this year, and it will be a big celebration. It’s come a long way in 25 years! Proceeds from the guitar pull benefit the United Way of Augusta.
