There’s an old saying here in the South. It goes, “When the world gets cold, go take in some hot jams.” Our suggestions for the weekend…
Friday, January 24 – Cody Simpson @ The Loft
All the way from Australia, this heartthrob of a singer/songwriter/guitarist takes his special Acoustic Sessions tour to Center Stage this weekend. He says his music is finally the way he wants it to sound. Hope you got a ticket to hear his surf-tastic tunes!
This show is SOLD OUT.
Friday, January 24 – Atlanta Symphony Orchestra @ Morgan Hall
Pianist Wu Han and ASO conductor Robert Spano team up for this low-key classical concert at KSU’s Bailey Performance Center. Go get cultured, y’all.
Doors at 7:30pm. Tickets are $8 – $40.
Friday, January 24 – Matthew Mayfield @ Eddie’s Attic
On his decision to pursue music, Matthew says, “When I was 9, I decided I was either going to be a bank robber/surfer or play in a rock n roll band. I’m not brave enough to ride the big waves and not radical enough to rob banks, so here I am with a guitar in my hand. I think my mother is very happy with that call.”
Doors open 6pm. Tickets are $10.
Friday, January 24 – Halcyon @ Eddie’s Attic
Deb Hunseder and Steph Callahan of Halcyon produce incredibly well received original songs, showcase excellent musicianship, chemical harmonies and energetic, engaging performances. They have opened for national acts including John Mayer, India Arie, Joan Osborne, Sister Hazel, Wynona Judd and many more. These girls rock.

Saturday, January 25 – Lee Ranaldo & The Dust @ Graveyard Tavern

Sunday, January 26 – Erick Baker @ Eddie’s Attic
If you listen closely, you can hear a heartbeat in the songs of Erick Baker. A warm familiar pulse of love and loss echoing from somewhere just under the surface.

Doors at 9pm. Tickets are $12.
