Sounds Like"The Little Country Giants take listeners to the front porch of an antebellum mansion. Everyone gets a rocking chair and the fireflies flames are never extinguished..." (David Eduardo, Athensmusic.com) The LITTLE COUNTRY GIANTS formed in 2004 and are the product of years of writing songs together and apart, and the music is as pure and simple as it is true and timeless. Unlike most music today that folks might quickly outgrow, this is music one can grow old with. The southern flavor in the songs are rich with the sounds of Georgia’s roots and America’s musical seeds.
