Still recovering from Music Midtown? We are too, hence the late blog today! Tonight is a little slower than normal and that’s okay by us! Here’s our Monday picks! Tonight at Smith’s Olde Bar, The Wallflowers. Most well-known for their 90’s hits like One Headlight, they just released a new album, Glad All Over. Unfortunately, […]
Review by Ellen Eldridge As the chill in the air settles down over Atlanta, fans should carry enough change for a hot cocoa, invest in a flannel and a copy of Sera Cahoone’s Deer Creek Canyon because this daughter of a Colorado foothills salesman knows how to warm both the body and the mind. Cahoone’s […]

By Jhoni Jackson Little 5 Fest has just added two hometown heavy hitters to its already massive lineup: Ponderosa and Reptar. Criminal Records will host both bands, both of which are set for later than the Little Five Points record store is typically open. Psych-tinged, Southern-rock rooted Ponderosa will play at 9:30 p.m., then eclectic […]
Alright, so the Music Midtown lineup is pretty sweet this year! There is something for everyone whether it be rock, dance music, or rap! The gates open at 4PM today and Van Hunt kicks off the festival! Of course, we’ll be tweeting and blogging away this weekend, but we want to hear from you! Tweet […]
Ballet dancer and musician? I know that sounds like a strange oxymoron, but it is real life for Jesse Tyler, who besides being a ballet dancer in the Atlanta Ballet, is also a singer/songwriter who with his own group The Neighbors (also featuring fellow dancer Christian Clark) has played around town with with other local […]
With little more than an obscure tape and a Rhymesayers affiliation, Brother Ali entered 2003 with a fan base that is barely worth mentioning. That is until he cast his shadow on hip-hop. Politically and socially provocative, Brother Ali is revered in many different genres. He is playing the 529 tomorrow night, and made a […]
Levi Lowrey may be a guitar-toting troubadour today, but he began as a fiddle player. No surprise, since his great-great-grandfather, the late Gid Tanner, was also a fiddle player and today stands as a towering figure in country music history. Tanner and frequent rival “Fiddlin’ John” Carson were among the first “hillbilly” musicians to take […]
On their previous recordings, “20,000 Ghosts” and “Wellwisher,” The Rocketboys perfectly married themes of unity and brotherhood with rich, soaring rock, lifting the band to national critical acclaim. Their forthcoming album Build Away was recorded in their home studio and mixed by CJ Eiriksson (U2, Live, Phish), the album chronicles the emotions that surface through the brokenness […]
By Jhoni Jackson There’s only one strictly local fest in Atlanta that dares to reach all points of the city’s vast spectrum of genres: Little 5 Fest, which goes down on Saturday, Sept. 29. The day-long event completely encompasses the eclectic neighborhood of Little Five Points, consuming venues like Aurora Coffee, the Clothing Warehouse, Tijuana […]
By Chandler Mays Bisoux is a brand new band out of Atlanta, and their first self-titled EP packs quite the punch. Part 90’s alt-rock, part garage rock, part punk, and part pop, this six-song production is a rambunctious endeavor filled with rug-cutting drumbeats, catchy guitar hooks, rollicking basslines, and the delightfully sardonic musings of lead […]
Review and Photos by Codi Glancy It’s been 13 years since the last Ben Folds Five album and 12 since they last toured. Last night was the band’s first time back in Atlanta since 1998. Based on the packed Tabernacle crowd’s excitement, it’s been long over due. Opening act, Kate Miller-Heidke took the stage around […]
Album Review By Molly Segers Pink has earned a rep as a pop star for people who normally wouldn’t fess up to liking pop, thanks in part to her big bombastic persona. The Truth About Love, released September 18, stays true to this, delivering 13 tracks of what she does best – empowerment anthems and […]
