Matilda’s Music Under the Pines: A Stage for Unforgettable Nights

​

Matilda’s Music Under the Pines has long been a treasure for music lovers, offering a blend of soul-stirring tunes and a sense of community that’s as warm as a summer evening. In 2024, this beloved outdoor venue achieved a new milestone: being named a winner in the prestigious Best of Georgia Awards. It’s a recognition fueled entirely by the people who matter most—Matilda’s loyal customers.

The Best of Georgia Awards, hosted by Georgia Business Journal (Gbj.com), celebrates excellence in businesses, organizations, and venues across the state. What makes this honor so special is that winners are determined by votes from the public. For Matilda’s, this victory represents the heartfelt appreciation of their community—a community that gathers week after week to enjoy the unique mix of local, regional, and touring Americana Roots musicians who grace the stage.

“It’s humbling to know that what we’ve created here resonates with so many people,” said the venue’s owner. “Matilda’s has always been about more than music; it’s about creating a space where music and community come together. This award is a testament to the connection people feel here.”

Matilda’s is no ordinary music venue – it’s an outdoor listening room with a focus on performance. Its charm lies in its intimate setting, where a rustic outdoor stage creates the perfect backdrop for unforgettable performances. Guests often bring picnic baskets and lawn chairs, making every concert feel like a neighborhood gathering under the stars. And Matilda’s additional tables and chairs, available for same-day reservations and often decorated with tablecloths and candles, ensures everyone gets a great spot. This relaxed, welcoming atmosphere has helped Matilda’s build a devoted fan base, one song at a time.

The road to the Best of Georgia accolade began with nominations, followed by weeks of voting. Fans of Matilda’s didn’t just vote—they campaigned, sharing their love for the venue through word of mouth and social media. “Our fans are the heart of everything we do,” the owner added. “Their support means the world to us, and this award is as much theirs as it is ours.”

A night at Matilda’s is more than just a music event; it’s an experience that lingers long after the last chord fades. The venue has hosted an array of talented Americana Roots acts, each bringing their own style and stories, yet all fitting seamlessly into the magical atmosphere that Matilda’s offers.

For those who’ve never been, this award is a perfect reason to discover what so many already know: Matilda’s Music Under the Pines is more than a venue—it’s a community hub where music, memories, and friendships are made.
