On December 26th, 2020, 50+ artists and hundreds of thousands of viewers around the world came together for Georgia Comes Alive, a virtual music festival aimed at promoting voter participation in Georgia’s critical Senate runoff elections on January 5th, 2021.
Two of the many world-renowned acts to take part in the nine-hour livestream were singer Nicki Bluhm and Jesse Wilson on his acoustic guitar, as the duo delivered a candle-lit cover of Bill Monroe‘s “House of Gold” to open the all-day event. Bluhm, who also took part in Democracy Comes Alive earlier in the year, sat beside Wilson on his guitar at a table for the stripped-down acoustic duet cover, which made for a relaxing listen to ease viewers into the first of many performances that would follow throughout the day.
Relive Bluhm and Wilson’s performance from Georgia Comes Alive in the video below.
