The Mountain Music and Medicine Show is home from the road for the next show, Saturday, September 5 at 8:00pm, at the Historic Holly Theater in downtown Dahlonega, Georgia.

Originating in Dahlonega, Georgia, the MOUNTAIN MUSIC & MEDICINE SHOW has won three GABBY awards from the Georgia Association of Broadcasters for the best locally produced radio program in the State of Georgia. Amazing, especially considering that the MMMS is an all volunteer effort.

The setting is Dahlonega from Gold Rush days of the early 1800s to modern times of the early 1950s---?Doc

Johnson's traveling Miracle Medicine Show has come to town and set up on the Square in front of Nix's Store, the hub of local commerce and social center of the area. Doc brings musical acts of the time with him as well as his own brand of humor while he exhorts folks to buy his "Wizard Water" elixir for improving their lives. He also showcases local talent on his show. Folks come from all around to hear the music & Doc.

His fast-paced style and rapport with the crowd keeps toes a-tapping and things moving briskly along. The scene occasionally shifts to "street scene " short skits where local people comment on the goings on of the day, mixing local history, culture and humor in the unique Southern Appalachian style of the time period.

This is all presented in a live old-time Radio broadcast; sort of like going back in time without leaving your living room!


The Mountain Music and Medicine Show is performed before a live audience at the Historic Holly Theater on W. Main St. (just off the Square) in Dahlonega. All shows are two hours, and are at 8pm, with $15 admission. We will follow the Holly system of assigned seating, though all seats will be the same price.

The Holly box office phone number is 706-864-3759-- or online at www.hollytheater.com. They will handle all ticket related inquiries.
