Photos Courtesy of Hillery Terenzi, Review by Gini Strobel Shaky Knees Music Festival kicked off on Saturday and the weather really couldn’t have been worse. After multiple calls from friends, “Are you really going out in this” – I threw on my 8-year-old rain boots (note- they also look like an 8 year-old child’s rain [...]
Happy Tuesday Atlanta! We hope everyone was able to take yesterday easy and recover from this past AH-mazing weekend! We have some pretty sweet shows going on tonight, two of which have SOLD OUT! Didn’t get your tickets to Beth Hart at Smith’s Olde Bar or Soundgarden at The Tabernacle? Don’t you worry! There’s a [...]
Photos by: CatMax Photography, LLC, Review by Gini Strobel Friday night, we crossed our fingers that the rain would stay away from Gladys Knight’s performance at Wolf Creek Amphitheater. The weather held out for opening acts: Milkshake and Howard Hewett, and they both livened up the crowd with fun and danceable tunes. The VIP reserved [...]

Photos by Deidra Pinion As a fan of David Draiman, I have been following his music since the beginning. In 2012, David announced a new project, Device. Device performed Friday night at The Loft, and did not disappoint. They opened the show with “Penance”, from their self-titled album, “Device”. They also played “Vilify”, which has [...]
With all of the festivals, shows and events that went on this past weekend, it’s nice to know that tonight is going to be pretty chill! We don’t have much going on in Atlanta this evening, but what we do have allows for the perfect night of catch up! Whether you want to listen to [...]
Swear and Shake, fronted by the guitar wielding Kari Spieler and the guitar and banjo playing Adam McHeffey, the two expertly blend their vocals, melodies, and confessional lyrics. Rounding out the quartet are old friends Ben Goldstein on drums and Shaun Savage on bass guitar. The band was named “Band of the Month” of December [...]
By Jhoni Jackson Even if it were not part of a fundraiser for a great organization, 500 Songs for Kids would still make for a memorable event. Lineups consisting entirely of covers based on a theme played by some of Atlanta’s best musicians? Count me in. The fact that it’s for a great cause simply [...]

Picture Book & Live Review: Justin Furstenfeld @ Center Stage 5/14
Photos and review by Jenna Hughes The atmosphere at Center Stage was quiet and calm on Tuesday night as fans eagerly awaited the stripped down solo performance of Justin Furstenfeld (of Blue October).

Picture Book & Live Review: Tyler Lyle @ Eddie’s Attic 5/9

5GB Interview: Cosmonauts; Playing 529 Thursday, May 16
By Jhoni Jackson Orange County outfit Cosmonauts boasts a blend of chaos and comedowns in their forever-fuzzy rock ‘n’ roll repertoire. Last year’s If You Wanna Die Then I Wanna Die (Burger Records) hits both amped-up, anxious highs and droning, lost-in-lament lows with equal intensity. Nailing an energetic, raucous jam like “Motorcycle #1” is a feat in [...]
5GB Interview w/ Twin Sister; Playing TONIGHT (5/15) @ 529
Twin Sister trade in a brand of dreamy pop that’s equal parts Galaxie 500, Tusk-era Fleetwood Mac, and Lynchian weirdness. They claim it will make you feel good enough to hook up with that one person you’re not supposed to hook up with. UH-OH! We caught up with the band before they hit the road [...]

5GB Interview: Kelly McFarling Playing @ Eddie’s Attic 4/27!
