Proceeds from the event will go toward a scholarship fund for Irwin County High School seniors studying music or pursuing a career in music. |
The Prater Music Festival will be held May 9-11, 2018, in Ocilla. This is the festival’s fourth year and the second year of the Dave Prater Music Scholarship. The 2018 Scholarship winner will be announced during the May 10th dinner at Irwin County High School.
Ocilla is located in Irwin County, about two hours south of Macon just east of I-75. It is the birthplace of the late R&B singer who shot up the record charts in the mid-1960s as half of the Sam and Dave singing duo. They are best known for hits “Soul Man,” “Hold on, I’m Coming,” and “When Something is Wrong with My Baby.” |
