Photos and Review by Chandler Mays This year’s Hijacking Music Festival went off without a hitch, and was nothing less than astounding. For ten straight hours, I treated my eardrums to some monumental sonic shenanigans within the cozy confines of East Atlanta Village’s famous 529 Bar. The layout was perfect with a stage on both […]

5GB With The Lone Bellow; Playing Eddie’s Attic, Dec. 11th

THE LONE BELLOW, a rustic Brooklyn trio with bluesy gospel influences, discover the age-old wisdom behind “nice guys finish last” in their video for “You Never Need Nobody.” Soulful vocalist Zach Williams can’t catch his girl’s attention, probably because she’s never known what it’s like to be lonely. Along with Kanene Pipkin (mandolin, vocals) and […]

Trinumeral Festival Comes to Atlanta on 12/12/12 (Duh)
