The Creative Arts Guild in Dalton, Ga., announces it is launching a new Roots Music Series on Friday, Oct. 20, at 7 p.m. Music performances will take place in Jonas Hall at the Guild's main facility, 520 West Waugh St. in Dalton.

Dalton natives Charlsey Etheridge, Craig Pratt and Erik Hurt are the first featured performers. The three will present a blend of blues, folk and jazz material, including a number of their original songs.

Between them, they have collaborated, performed, and worked with some of the music industry's most respected artists, musicians, and writers.

Etheridge has worked with Grammy Award winners Steve Wariner and songwriter Harley Allen, guitar virtuosos Richard Smith, David Greer, Jack Pearson (formerly of the Allman Brothers Band) and bassist Billy Peterson of Steve Miller Band.

Hurt has worked with Channing Eleton (Southern Gospel Pianist of the Year), Motown bassist Michael DeLaney and Ken Gabriel (James Brown Band). Pratt is an emerging singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. He has spent time on the road with various bands as a lead guitar player.

Tickets are $10 general admission, $8 students and senior citizens. Students will need to show valid ID. For parties of six or more, contact the Guild to reserve a table.
