That's where the local bands are so critical. All over Statesboro are great bands that have very bright futures, and the good thing is that admission i t to these concerts is rarely more than five bucks. Take, for instance, Soul Miner's Daughter out of Savannah. < i This bluesy-rock band plays in the 'Boro quite frequently, and draws crowds of people flocking to whatever venue the band is playing in that night. i t Another band to look out for is Wallace Green, based in Statesboro. It's a potpourri of different styles of music that people from Atlanta to Savannah flock to hear, and they recently cut a l t record with Knot Known records.
