Interview with Tori Kelly; Played to a SOLD OUT Crowd @ Eddie’s Attic 4/17!

Born and raised in Atlanta, I’ve been to my fair share of sold out shows at Eddie’s Attic in Decatur, but I had never been to a sold out show like this one. For an hour and a half, 20-year old Tori Kelly deeply moved every single person in that room with her remarkably stunning […]
