Classic country favorites are headed to Northwest Georgia as Shenandoah takes the stage at the Forum River Center in Rome on Friday, March 6, with special guest Kenny Whitmire.

Shenandoah became one of country music’s most recognizable bands during the late 1980s and early 1990s, earning a reputation for strong harmonies, heartfelt storytelling, and a sound that blended traditional country with a polished radio-ready edge. The group’s rise helped define an era of country music that still resonates with longtime fans today, and their music continues to be a staple on classic country playlists across the South.

The band is widely known for a string of major hits, including “Two Dozen Roses,” “Church on Cumberland Road,” “The Next to Last Time,” “Sunday in the South,” and “If Bubba Can Dance (I Can Too).” Their songs often center on everyday life, family, relationships, and small-town values — themes that helped Shenandoah connect with audiences far beyond their home region.

Beyond radio success, Shenandoah also became known for bringing emotion and authenticity to their performances, with powerful ballads and upbeat crowd-pleasers that translate especially well to the live stage. Over the years, the group’s legacy has remained strong among fans of classic country, and their concerts typically draw a mix of longtime listeners and newer audiences discovering the band’s music for the first time.

The Rome stop is being presented by Six String Southern, and organizers say the show will feature special guest Kenny Whitmire, adding an extra local and regional draw to the night.
