The Georgia Pick and Bow Band is composed of advanced students from the Georgia Pick and Bow Traditional Music Program, an after school program for Lumpkin County students. Georgia Pick and Bow is a bluegrass and old time mountain school for kids grades 4 through 12. Students are taught by top music instructors who are skilled in playing traditional string instruments.

The Georgia Pick and Bow Traditional Music Program, in cooperation with the Georgia Appalachian Studies Center at North Georgia College & State University, was founded in fall of 2007. The program seeks to preserve the traditional “roots” music of North Georgia with a series of 10 lessons for participating students each semester at Lumpkin County Middle School. Each lesson series ends with a recital featuring the students and a brief performance by the Georgia Pick and Bow Band. The band was featured at the 13th annual Bear on the Square Mountain Festival in Dahlonega this past spring, and individual students from the band have appeared onstage at the Mountain Music and Medicine Show at the Historic Holly Theatre in Dahlonega.
