Overview
“Old Sweet Song” is a vibrant mural in Suwanee Town Center that celebrates Georgia’s musical soul. Painted in 2006 by Lilburn artist Sonny Franks with help from the Dixie Letterheads, this large-scale artwork brings a live concert to life—featuring a saxophonist, guitarist, drummer, and a joyful crowd. But here’s the twist: the audience isn’t random. Look closely and you’ll spot 48 legendary members of the Georgia Music Hall of Fame hidden among city staff and community figures! 🎶 The mural’s name comes from the classic line in “Georgia on My Mind”—“Just an old sweet song keeps Georgia on my mind”—and that sentiment rings true here. Since its installation in 2007, it’s been more than just art; it’s a tribute to the state’s rich musical roots and Suwanee’s growing creative spirit. A true hidden gem for music lovers and mural hunters alike!
