It’s been a shade over three years since Regina Spektor was last in Atlanta promoting her album Far, and needless to say, her Atlanta fan base has been clamoring loudly for a sprinkle of that sonic goodness that only she can deliver. They turned out in force to see their favorite piano-flavored singer-songwriter, easily selling

October 26, 2012
It was a quiet Thursday night in downtown Athens, as the usual bustling bar scene was replaced by tranquil streets and relative calm. Last night marked the start of the Georgia/Florida football weekend and UGA’s coordinating fall break, and undoubtedly many students were en route to the Landing in Jacksonville for the World’s Largest Cocktail

September 30, 2012
Saturday night at Atlanta’s Counterpoint Festival, belonged to Sonny Moore, better known as the Grammy award-winning Skrillex.

We have come to the final night of Atlanta’s 2-day music festival Music Midtown.

The 52,000 music fans who came out for the second day of Atlanta’s newly resurrected Music Midtown festival were treated many times over to the musical delights of 90s rockers Garbage, hometown rapper Ludacris, Adam Ant, and Neon Trees.

Concert Review: T.I. at Music Midtown in Atlanta
September 22, 2012
It has been a year since Atlanta was reintroduced to Music Midtown. Largely left for dead when promoters Alex Cooley and Peter Conlon abandoned the cash hole seven years ago, music festivals in Atlanta became a large taboo for the better part of a decade. Pretty much every large market in the US could boast
Concert Review: The Avett Brothers at Music Midtown in Atlanta
September 22, 2012
While Atlanta’s mid-day heat slowly faded into a lovely autumn evening at the Meadow at Piedmont Park, the Friday afternoon crowd that had gathered to hear Grammy-winning R&B artist Van Hunt, eighties rocker Joan Jett & the Blackhearts, and hometown hip-hop extraordinaire T.I. easily doubled in size, just in time for the 90-minute set of
