The five stages of awesome: Every performer at Arts in the Heart and the times they start

Can't wait to listen to the dozens of musical artists coming to the 2024 Arts in the Heart of Augusta festival? Now hear this: The Greater Augusta Arts Council has you covered with a curated Spotify playlist to give music fans a taste of the talent.

The two major headliners are alt-rockers Fastball; and electronic musician, singer, songwriter and producer Georgia Anne Muldrow.

Fastball, from Austin, Texas, topped Billboard magazine's Adult Alternative Song chart with its 1998 single "The Way," off the platinum-selling album "All the Pain Money Can Buy." The band released its ninth studio album, "Sonic Ranch," in June.

Muldrow's 2018 studio album "Overload" earned a Grammy nomination for Best Urban Contemporary Album. She has collaborated creatively with musical artists Erykah Badu and Mos Def, the latter of whom in The New York Times compared Muldrow to vocal giants Roberta Flack, Nina Simone, and Ella Fitzgerald
