This weekend, the music is calling in Northwest Georgia.

On Friday and Saturday, the first-ever Cohutta Song Fest debuts in the small railroad town a half hour from Chattanooga and twenty minutes from Dalton.

Highlights of the two-day fest on Wolfe Street: live music from singer-songwriters, a songwriter master class workshop and a songwriting contest.

Thom Brown and Charlsey Etheridge are organizers of the Cohutta Song Fest.
