Concert Review: Pearl Jam at Music Midtown in Atlanta
September 23, 2012
We have come to the final night of Atlanta’s 2-day music festival Music Midtown. Saturday, we rolled back the clock to revisit Garbage, had a bizarre visit from swashbuckling Adam Ant, saw one-hit-wonder Neon Trees and was blown away by the vocal acrobatics of Florence + the Machine. There was no rest for weary ears
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
Rising Stars To Check Out at Atlanta’s Counterpoint Festival
September 15, 2012
Hipster-haired dubstep maestro Skrillex, Swedish superstar DJ Avicii, and French dream-pop outfit M83 are most likely to grab the headlines when they perform at Atlanta’s brand new electronic music festival, Counterpoint, later this month. But for those making the trek to the 350-acre Chattahoochee River setting between Sept 27 and 29, there are a whole

August 1, 2012
So you still haven’t deflated the kiddie pool and the heat is still too oppressive to visit the ballpark. Just because the summer of 2012 isn’t yet over doesn’t mean you can’t start thinking about your 2013 festival calendar.

2012 Vans Warped Tour: A Review
July 27, 2012
It’s that time of year when the next wave of punk, rock and metal invade amphitheaters across the nation. Yes it’s the seventeen-year strong Vans Warped Tour, and it found its way to Atlanta’s Lakewood Amphitheatre on Thursday. While a weekend stop may have been more convenient, the teenage to early-twenty something crowd didn’t have
2012 Firely Music Festival: A Review
July 24, 2012
So we have come to the end the first annual Firefly Music Festival in Dover, Delaware. Most artists who performed this weekend had to get out their maps because they’d never booked a gig in the state. Granted, Dover isn’t exactly a hotbed of musical activity, but the idea to hold a music festival on
Crossroads Guitar Festival Returns in 2013 at Madison Square Garden
June 22, 2012
The fourth incarnation of Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Guitar Festival will be held in New York next year, according to a couple of musicians set to play the event. An official announcement has yet to be made, but artists Sonny Landreth and Blake Mills announced that they would be playing the festival, which will be held
2012 BamaJam Music Festival: A Review
June 18, 2012
It was quite the weekend at BamaJam 2012. Thursday was a bit of a disaster, with the generators used to power the stage failing, and the wind tearing the cover on the main stage destroying the equipment of many of the bands set to play. The crowd was evacuated to the parking lot around 4pm
