For music that matters, you’ll hear the medicine in Northwest Georgia.

This weekend, WoodSongs Dalton - an Americana concert series for a cause - returns with Spatial Effects Bluegrass and Tim Chastain.

They perform on Saturday at First Presbyterian Church in Dalton.

Doors open at 6:30 PM - the music begins at 7 PM.

Three more concerts will be held at that time in the Church on the last Saturday of February, March and April.

Tom Brown with WoodSongs Dalton talks about the rest of the series.
