Leading up to Drive-By Truckers’ annual homecoming show in Athens last month, Terry College Music Business Program director David Barbe weighed in on the changing face of Athens’ music scene and why the Truckers continue to play at the 40 Watt when they could fill larger venues. “It’s more about loyalty,” Barbe told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “There is a real connection ... Independent venues of that level are going away around the country.” Downtown development and rising rents in Athens make it harder for smaller venues to make ends meet. “If rents keep going up, it’s going to be awfully tough to keep (Athens’) independent flavor,” Barbe said.

The Georgia Economic Outlook series finished this year’s statewide tour in Albany, Ga. Georgia’s economy is expected to grow, but slowly, Dean Ben Ayers told The Albany Herald. “Job growth will continue this year, but we expect it to slow,” he said. “We do expect unemployment to pick up this year, but not too much ...We do expect this year employers will hold onto employees more tightly than in previous years. The positive side there is we expect there to be less room for wage-increase inflation.” Ayers put the odds of a national recession for the year at less than 50%. For Georgia, the chance of a recession is about one in three.
