Live Review: Colin Meloy @ Variety Playhouse

By: Emily Jackson  Much like the lyrics of the songs themselves, the performances by Colin Meloy and Eleanor Friedberger last night at the Variety Playhouse told epic tales, complete with villains, heroes, challenges and triumphs. Both musicians are ordinarily the lead singers for more elaborate ensembles, but that didn’t diminish the success of the poetic […]

Picture Book & Live Review: Hunter Hayes @ The Fox Theatre

Walking around downtown Atlanta last night, it was easy to see who was going to the same place I was. Curls, cowboy boots, and dresses were everywhere. This was my first time seeing Hunter Hayes in concert and I’m a huge fan so I was super excited that this show was my first time covering […]

Picture Book & Live Review: New Order @ Chastain Park Amphitheater

Photos & Review by Hillery Terenzi “Rain, rain, go away, I want to see New Order today.” That one sentence was probably on the minds of many New Order fans on Sunday afternoon.

Photos and Review by Hillery Terenzi It takes a lot for me to travel outside the “OTP” of ATL but when I found out that Toad the Wet Sprocket was playing at the Frederick Brown Jr. Amphitheater in Peachtree City, I knew that was reason enough.

Picture Book & Live Review: Emeli Sande @ The Tabernacle July 3rd

Photos & Review by: Deidra Pinion Have you ever heard the expression “Dynamite comes in small packages?” I believe that definitely applies to Emeli Sande.

Picture Book & Live Review: The B-52’s @ Atlanta Botanical Garden June 28th!

Photos by Hillery Terenzi, Review by JJ Posway Kitsch is tricky business. Being ironically kitschy only works when everyone knows that’s what you’re doing.
