By Ellen Eldridge Michael Benjamin Lerner is the man behind the band Telekinesis. At 26, he has weathered through life’s ups and downs and recorded his thoughts across three albums. Dormarion succinctly completes a sort of circle around his previous two albums, 2009’s self-titled debut and 2011’s 12 Desperate Straight Lines. The haunting echo of […]

Nearly 20 years have passed, since I watched the Mary Poppins movie. Of course, we can all recall the famous songs and themes like “A Spoonful of Sugar” and “Chim Chimney”, but as an adult, I was interested in experiencing the classic film on stage, presented by Theater of the Stars, at the Fox Theatre. […]
The David Mayfield Parade Good Man Down Beautywood Records By Al Kaufman With crystalline vocals reminiscent of a young James Taylor, it would be easy for David Mayfield to write adult contemporary songs and have middle-aged women swoon over him for the rest of his life, but Mayfield isn’t that type of guy. He spent […]
Caveman Caveman Fat Possum By Al Kaufman When the Brooklyn quintet, Caveman, released their debut CD, CoCo Beware, it raised enough of a ruckus in the indie pop world that it was eventually picked up by Fat Possum Records.

By Ellen Eldridge I actually Googled “Baddest Blues” to see if the song of the same title was originally written by blues singer Billie Holiday or maybe Nina Simone, but Beth Hart simply drew from these great inspirations and then some (according to her own list of artists to whom she dedicated Bang Bang Boom […]
Brewhouse Music and Grill in Rome filled up quickly Thursday night with fans in cowboy boots and plaid shirts anxiously waiting for country boys Channing Wilson, Canaan Smith and Love and Theft to take the stage.

Live Review by: Molly Free Photos by: Taylor Magill I was really looking forward to heading down to the Earl on a chilly Tuesday night to catch the Mowgli’s and Family of the Year play. I saw Family of the Year play last year, and I was looking forward to seeing them again, but I […]
Live Review by: Molly Free A cozy night at Eddie’s Attic listening to the storytelling talents of Eliot Bronson and his band Yonder Orphans seemed like the perfect plans for a rainy Friday evening. An Atlanta favorite and Open Mic Shootout alum, Eliot created an intimate environment that those who flock to the Attic crave. […]
Review by: Al Kaufman Led by bands such as Mumford and Sons and The Lumineers, folk-rock is enjoying a revival. People keep coming back to the earthiness of the music. The songs are pretty and melodic, with lots of harmonies and enough hooks to stay wedged between your ears for a few days, or at […]
Review by Ellen Eldridge On the one hand, hearing that Suicidal Tendencies releases its first new album in 13 years makes me reminisce on the bands that plowed me through the ‘90s; on the other hand, a nagging voice asks, “Really?” because didn’t Megadeth just release an album called 13 in 2011? But Suicidal announces […]
Despite a weekend full of stormy weather, hundreds of people of all ages came out to Kennesaw’s Fifth Third Bank Stadium to see American Idol Season 11 Champion, Phillip Phillips. The lawn was filled with blankets, umbrellas and chairs, with even more people in the stadium seats, as Denver five-piece band, Churchill opened for Phillips […]
Review by Ellen Eldridge Black Out the Sun is the ninth release by Atlanta natives Sevendust since 1997; this release also marks the first time the band has taken more than two years to release an album as Cold Day Memory came out in 2010. The guys must have taken the extra year to nail […]
