Shawn Hart - Drowning in Reverse

Shawn Hart

Shawn Hart is a local singer/songwriter and visual artist originally from Royston, Georgia now residing in Commerce, Georgia. His raspy soulful voice and melodic guitar transforms any song into his own. After a break from the local music scene, Shawn has returned to playing solo shows and collaborating with past bandmates. His solo acoustic shows include duets with his wife and special guests and are packed with a variety of covers along with a few originals.

Music was always being played in Shawn’s home growing up as a child. His dad, Benny, played guitar and banjo. “He could play anything he put his hands on,” says Shawn. With help from his dad, Shawn learned to play guitar. As an early teen, he would spend his Saturday nights playing rhythm in his dad’s bluegrass band. Throughout high school and into his 20’s, Shawn would play in several local alternative rock acts. In 2010, he joined a new bluegrass band out of Maysville, Georgia named BlueBilly Grit. Within two years, they would gain national attention with a win at the 2012 Telluride Bluegrass Festival Band Competition. The very next year, Shawn got to meet one of his favorite songwriters, Jackson Browne and share the Telluride stage with many other major acts.

Ashley & Jacqui Derrick

Ashley Derrick & Jacqui Derrick/Workright, LLC

The Drug Lady is an important team member for any business wishing to create or maintain a Drug Free Workplace. Our “Drug Lady” is powered by two amazing ladies- a mother-daughter team who have been working together for almost 30 years. Jacqui Derrick developed the original Drugs Don’t Work program in Georgia back in 1994 shortly after the Drug Free Workplace Act was signed into law. Since then, she’s helped hundreds of business owners across the southeast implement and maintain their Drug Free Workplace programs. You can ask anyone- she’s the Original Drug Lady. In 2003 she recognized the need for a dedicated drug testing facility in the Atlanta area to serve employers. We’ve been managing that facility ever since. Her daughter, Ashley, stood no chance. Ashley started helping Jacqui with office work and creating training programs for younger audiences as a teenager. The two became a staple in the industry, working together to help their clients navigate difficult situations, interpret results, assisting with policy creation and management, and educating teams on how drugs can affect a person as well as their livelihood and those around them. If you’ve got a question, chances are they’ve seen it and have the answer. And if you’ve got a story to tell, even better!

A woman owned and operated small business located in the Atlanta Metro Area specializing in creating and managing Drug-Free Workplace programs for employers. Started in 1999, Workright opened their own testing facility in 2003. They strive to provide their clients with a one stop shop for all their substance abuse program questions and concerns.

Communication, education and safety above all!
