Annoucing Atlanta’s A-List Book Club, Feb. 22 at Eddie’s Attic

leave a comment

We’re pleased to announce that we are launching our very own book club. We see it as an opportunity to share some of our favorite reads (some old, some new) and maybe a beverage (or two) with you. It’s easy – just read a good book and come visit with us. The first meeting will take [...]

Here’s a triple treat. Two tracks and a video from the trio playing the EARL tonight. Adam Arcuragi will bring his folkish pop back to Atlanta on Thursday night. Adam returns to his native Atlanta from the City of Brotherly Love (one of our former homes) to record his next album. [...]

Record Review: Cory Chisel & The Wandering Sons – Death Won’t Send a Letter

leave a comment

Cory Chisel is nothing if not well connected.  That’s how his first full-length, Death Won’t Send A Letter, got into our hands.  About half that record is produced by Brendan Benson, a noted solo artist in his own right, but assuredly best known as a member of The Raconteurs.  Benson, once removed, is the connection [...]

Wilco, March 26 at Fox Theater (Presale, Jan. 6)

leave a comment

America’s latest, greatest band, Wilco (yep, that’s our take on it) will return to Atlanta on March 26 at the Fabulous Fox Theater. Presale starts Wednesday morning at 10:00, but to take advantage of that you have to register in advance with Frontgate Tickets. So get busy people, there’s not much time. If you [...]

Author Appearance: Jayne Ann Phillips, Jan. 11 at Decatur Library

leave a comment

We followed the National Book Awards fairly closely this year, posting both the finalists and the winners. Making the finalists cut is an enviable achievement for any author and often inspires publishers to emboss it on the latest printing of the trade paperback edition of that writer’s work. Jayne Ann Philips was on that short [...]

Tonight: Psycho DeVilles at Star Bar

Get your New Year off to a rockabilly start.  Maybe a real nudie suit? Maybe a shot of rye?  Maybe a forearm tattoo? Maybe just a night at the Star Bar with the Psycho Devilles?

Swing Set (Alex Brenner), Jan. 1 at Eddie’s Attic

leave a comment

By Rube Ambler If you enjoy reading his thoughts on music here, then you might enjoy listening to his thoughts as music when our own Alex Brenner performs this Friday night as Swing Set. Yes, the plug is gratutious, but we really only met Alex because we loved his music and started talking to him after a [...]
