Live Review of Kurt Thomas; Playing Buckhead Theatre on February 4

By Amanda Miles Kurt Thomas knows how to kick off a show. Grabbing the audience’s attention with a strong riff and never letting up is his signature honky tonk style. The cold December wind was no match for the heat emanating from the Kurt Thomas Band at Dixie Tavern on December 9. The venue may […]

What’s Up Thursday?

By Eileen Tilson/ @tktalt_tn Thursdays are very interesting to me.
