GIVEAWAY! - The Atlanta Music Guide and our friends at Filter Magazine are giving away a pair of tickets to see Rilo Kiley with Death Cab for Cutie, Tilly and the Wall, and Travis Morrison (of the Dismemberment Plan) at the Variety Playhouse October 12th! Rilo Kiley 's new album, "More Adventurous," has been called 'an album full of uplifting songs of heartbreak, traditional pop from the future, country music from the city, and all other manners of oxymoronic perfection.' Want to score tickets to see them in Atlanta? All you have to do is check out the Rilo Kiley album player and email us at info@atlantamusicguide.com with the name of the second song on the player. The winner will be drawn Friday October 8th.

Featured Shows
Wednesday September 29 - Angie Aparo & The Infidels, Abbie Cardwell - 10 High
Atlanta musician Angie Aparo may be best known for his song 'Cry' (which was re-recorded by Faith Hill), but this local singer/songwriter packs out venues such as Chastain Park Amphitheatre. His show last week at the 10 High had the entire venue buzzing, and this one is a must see as well. Aussie Abbie Cardwell, who has been working with Butch Walker, opens up for Aparo & his band. Tickets are selling quickly for this event and are available through Ticket Alternative. www.angieaparo.com

Head out Friday night to see Bain Mattox and his band headline the Cotton Club for the first time. Combining rock with instruments such as mandolins and banjos, Mattox's music is the perfect blend of straight-ahead rock, heartfelt lyrics, and unique instrumentation. Also playing are the local rockers in The Swear, Trances Arc, and Tennessee band Copper. www.bainmattox.com
