A release from Talk Business and Politics (TB&P) states George’s Majestic Lounge in Fayetteville triumphed in a national music venue contest.
TB&P states, in January 2024, Brian and Day Crowne will celebrate 20 years of ownership of the iconic George’s Majestic Lounge in downtown Fayetteville. They’ll enter the anniversary year with a national momentum boost.
In November, George’s was named one of five winners in “Hometowns of Consequence” a fan-driven contest to find America’s favorite local music venues. Consequence (formerly Consequence of Sound), a national online music, television and movie publication, organized the competition to “celebrate the local venues, gathering places, and institutions across the country that give live music its home.”
Consequence asked fans to nominate their favorite local music venues and narrowed more than 1,300 entries down to four finalists in five regions — Northeast, Southeast, Midwest, Southwest and West.
Another round of voting identified the inaugural contest’s winners. George’s was voted the best in the Southeast, ranking ahead of 9:30 Club from Washington, D.C.; Portal at Fifteentwelve from Louisville, Ky.; and The Radio Room from Greenville, S.C.
Brian Crowne said being on the receiving end of fan recognition is particularly humbling. He credited the artists who appear at George’s and the fans who support them for the venue’s success.
Crowne told TB&P, “George’s Majestic Lounge is a beneficiary of the love that happens between an artist and fan since we get to be the house that joins them in real time. Thank you to our team and past teams over 95 years that have kept the vibe and spirit alive that makes George’s part of our music community.”
