Several excellent Atlanta acts will take the stage at various venues this evening, two of them to benefit medical research funds. Look at us, getting all do-good-y!
Kevn Kinney @ Eddie’s Attic
Drifters, grifters, wannabes, gonnabes and has beens. Country folk. City folk. Workin’ folk. Lend us your ears. Well, not us. Lend Kevn Kinney, frontman of Atlanta’s favorite Southern rock band Drivin N Cryin, your ears. Tonight at Eddie’s Attic, he’ll play songs off his latest album to benefit cystic fibrosis research. He hopes to see a crowd as diverse as the music he’ll be playing come out for the event.
Doors at 6:30pm. Tickets are $20 in advance.
Chickens and Pigs @ The EARL
Great American Noise Jihad @ Drunken Unicorn
Also Appearing: Designer and the Marrows
Take a little blues, a little metal, a little punk and a little something psychedelic and you have the Great American Noise Jihad, our second favorite Great American thing after the cookie company. They’re read to wrap you up in sonic bliss tonight at the Unicorn.
Doors at 9pm. Tickets are $7 in advance.
Neil Cribbs and the Rough Gentlemen @ Vinyl
Neil Cribbs is a blues and soul-soaked Americana musician based out of Atlanta. Under the influence of Cat Stevens, Taj Mahal, Joni Mitchell, Richard Buckner and many others, Neil follows a road paved with anything that grooves, collecting tales, music, and fans along the way. His first studio album “Marionette” gained fans of pure, raw Americana while his sophomore release “Windshield” provides listeners with a high-energy mash up of writing styles. In late 2011 Neil formed Neil Cribbs and the Rough Gentlemen and began pushing his sound. In 2012 Neil finished his third album “To the Left,” continuing on with the uplifting support of his so-called Cribblets.
Doors at 7:30pm. Tickets are $7.
