By Catrina Maxwell Are you an MJ fan? It doesn’t really matter if you are a fan or not, Micheal was a part of your life if you grew up in the last few decades! Micheal Jackson, The IMMORTAL World Tour has been touring North America since October 2011. The show captures Micheal’s music and [...]
It’s pretty impressive to be know as the “Jimi Hendrix of the accordion,” although probably more so impressive if you live in Ireland. On this St. Patrick’s Day, Ireland’s own Liam O’ Connor will be jigging it out with traditional Irish music to get your Patty’s day groove on. He joined is for our 5GB [...]
Looks like the temperatures are coming down just a tiny bit, which means this weekend will be much more bearable and you should be getting out to even more shows now that there’s less fear of melting into the pavement. So we’ve got a nice little selection of outdoor gigs, as well as some great [...]

Picture Book & Review: The Neighbourhood with The 1975 @ Center Stage June 17th
By Katie Caccavale I must say that as someone who works for an event ticketing company, it was really cool to see the ticket sales for The 1975 and The Neighbourhood show skyrocket. What was originally thought to be a smaller show taking place at Vinyl, quickly grew to a sold out show at the [...]

Picture Book & Live Review: Matthew Mayfield @ Eddie’s Attic June 14th
By Lindsey Borders Ever since Matthew Mayfield began his journey over 11 years ago, his performances get better with each live show he performs, acoustically or with a full band. I prefer him acoustic because he’s genuine, raw, and vulnerable with his audience; especially if there’s a great turn-out. Which there was with Matthew’s CD [...]
Picture Book & Review: Billy Idol @ The Tabernacle June 11th!
Billy Idol still has it…sneer and all. 80’s MTV icon Billy Idol played to a packed Tabernacle audience on Tuesday, June 11th. The crowd consisted of former rockers and suburban housewives with their teenage kids, proving to them that mom was once “cool”. If you came to hear the “Billy Idol Experience”, you got it [...]
Picture Book & Review: Sting @ Chastain Park Amphitheater June 10th!
Photos & Review by Hillery Terenzi I admit that I was a little concerned Monday morning when dark clouds were covering the Atlanta sky, but the music gods must’ve known Sting would be playing Chastain Amphitheater that night. The nearly sold out crowd was a mixture of young and old, tattooed and preppy and I [...]
Interview: Kylesa; Playing @ The EARL June 21st!
One thing you need to know is that like many great bands that have stuck around for a decade or more, Kylesa defies convention, categorization and they are constantly evolving. This individualism, among other places, can also be found as an ongoing theme in the lyrics of Kylesa’s two core, founding members, Phillip Cope and [...]
Interview: Charlie Mars; Playing @ Eddie’s Attic June 20th!
Charlie Mars’ recently released album, Like A Bird, Like A Plane is his fifth studio record, but can be best described as a new debut. Over 11 songs, Mars hits a groove that does not signify any specific genre but instead is hardwired to hearts and hips. This is an album that writhes through the [...]

Interview: RAC & Penguin Prison; Playing @ The Basement June 15th!
RAC stand for Remix Artist Collective. They’ve built a fanbase on a whole lot of remixes (200+) for all kinds of artists. A few years ago Karl and Andre started DJ’ing all across the globe. Recently, Andre wrote a song with Penguin Prison and put it out through Green Label Sound. That song is the [...]
5GB Interview: Jacuzzi Boys; Playing the EARL Saturday, June 8th!
By Jhoni Jackson As far as bands on Instagram go, Jacuzzi Boys (@jacuzziboys) are among the best. Well, maybe enviable is more accurate. Their feed is full of goofiness, rockin’ and rollin’ and, you know, the occasional hang sesh with Iggy Pop. Onstage, however, they’re not so silly. The trio rips through their psych-laced garage [...]
5GB Interview: Stephen Kellogg; Playing @ Eddie’s Attic June 6th!
Although his music has been described as Americana, Country-Rock, Folk, Singer/Songwriter, and, somehow, pop, Stephen Kellogg has always thought of it as American-rock n’ roll. It’s a product of his father’s record collection, from Jim Croce and Cat Stevens to Eagles and The Band. Somewhere along the way, he fell in love with showmanship and [...]
