“My parents used to listen to Jim Croce all the time in the house and I realized how they would always play ‘Walkin Back to Georgia’ on summer days when we were living in Cartersville,” Walker says. “It brought a rush of memories back, and when we were getting ready to soundcheck I hit up Katie and Elizabeth and asked if they knew the song. Needless to say, they said ‘Yes!’ and we were off and running.
Walker is from Cartersville, Pruitt hails from Atlanta, and Cook, while born in Florida, went to school in Georgia. “The Georgia public school system changed my life,” Cook says, “and I hope they can keep music in schools because music is the art of everything.”
