More cool news out of UGA’s Music Business Program. First, local producer David Barbe was named the program’s director last summer. And now, Cracker/Camper Van Beethoven frontman David Lowery has been named one of its new instructors.

?
Lowery has a long and strong affiliation with the Georgia music community, both his bands having been loosely Athens-based for years. This past September, Lowery married 40 Watt booker/Cracker manager Velena Vego. (Vego’s also in charge of the booking for the recently opened Buckhead Theatre in Atlanta.)

Bonus video of Cracker’s “Low” after the jump, because, despite its persistent FM radio ubiquity some 17 years after its release (feel old, oldie?), it’s still a pretty damn good tune. And it’s Friday.
